I'm just wondering how this would look on my silver car? I guess it's actually called Black Pearl...

I'm still on the fence (I know, I know) between the RPM's and the Se7en Mods. Maybe the Se7en Mods + a 50 shot instead of light weight rims?? I definitely want 19" in either.

Nobody huh?

I just bought them last month, I have a red car they look bad ,I am going to have them powder coated a diffrent color , they will look good on silver ,when I have the time to send them out and be without a car for two weaks.

Whoa... that is exactly my decision too. I will probably end up with the RPM's because of the weight but I really really really like those SE7EN'S !! I think 'Black Pearl' will look good on either a Silver or Blue car

i was this close to getting the black pearl. |-|


i had both sets out by the car.

Too bad they only come in 7" width for the 18's. You can't even "officially" mount a 235 tire on that width.

mattg

you can't officially mount a 235 on the stock 7" wheel either. has that stopped anyone?

i have the 7" w/ 225/40-18's, no traction problems whatsoever.

Seattle CL-S,

I like your fog light mod. Original fog lamp housing with the function pilot fog set up is great! This is what I want to do. Questions for you:

1. Did you publish any directions on what you did to complete this project?
2. Did you use the Pilot fog lamp wiring and put in their switch or did you use something else?
3. The cost of this project?
4. How stable is the fog light inside stock fog lamp unit?

Thanks! Those pictures are kinda old actually. I haven't gotten around to updating them.

1. Nope. I basically just cut out a hole and used "Goop" to bond them in.
2. I bought the TL foglight switch from the dealership (~$35) and wired it to the Pilot wiring.
3. About $110 including the switch
4. Solid, but changing the bulbs is a biiiooootch since it's glued in. I'll probably do something different when a bulb blows (like removing the fogs altogether.)

Do you think the Black Pearl is only for "younger" crowds? I'm 30 and don't want to draw tons of attention.

mattg

well, i'm 27 and i would've gotten them. it is more of a tuner look. 19's would look

I just picked up 1 pair of these in Black Pearl....17's with 235\45 rubber for the track. The 17's weigh in at 14 lbs a piece. :o

I am thinking of doing those rims with 235/40-18. Will it work?

mattg

it should. i had 235/40-17 on the stock 7" wheels.

you'll have to find out from the tire shop if they'll do it.

mattg

looks like they'll be the most popular wheels at the meat. :o

MattG,

Where did you buy your Centerlines? Les Schwab quoted me $320/wheel and another $295/T1S. That's $615 per corner before tax, stems, rotation, etc... I think the total was $2800.

I've found some good online prices for the Se7en Mod and think I could get them for about $2000 to my doorstep. I can't find a good online shop w/ the Centerlines though.

mattg

i got them at LS, but i got them for cost because they scratched my stocks doing an alignment.

not sure where to find them on line.


are you seeing this people? the only toyo dealer in the N.W. wants nearly $300 ea. for 19" toyo t1S. :swear2:

I paid $280 for each 17" at Discount Tire....check them out.
