glad the rims found a new good home.

porter cable 7424 is your best freind. in one day you could get rid of those swirl marks yourself

jeez those 20's make the rear brakes look so wimpy lol


looks real good though

not bad at all but a agree with RYANGP with the width in the rear

Hows the ride on these things?

Those fuckers are SWEEEEET!

Love the wheels but Im not a fan of the stretched look. They are fuckin sweet though.

looks real good. i bet you must drive careful as hell to protect those rims and tires from bumps and potholes. haha. gotta do a shoot when u move down here!

So now...finally we see the new shoes. Clean :toocool:

:werd:

Just picked one up a week ago...

A lot more work than I thought it was to use...but sooo worth it!

Nice! You ever sell the lip kit?

thanks

actually the rides not that bad it feels like any other lower car with low profile tires

thanks alot

up here in philly yea i do. hell we got to do a shoot when i move down there

lol i was waiting for you to say that

yea i sold it about two months ago

i love the stretched look. but i would say i have a pretty mild stretch compared to others ive seen on here.

That's a better shot of the rear, Now their growing on me :yum:

Yea, that picture shows it much better. They arent that bad. Nice job :thumbsup:

40 offset, huh. Any rubbing, iu tried to run that and had to go back to 52, it was rubbing so much in the rear without rolling fender and occasionally in the front on lock to lock turns. What tires did you go with? Looks like 225/35/19 and 225/30/20.

Looks great, Now you'll never be able to go back to 19" in the back, watch, lol.

same thing with me when i first saw them i wasnt sure but the more i looked at them the more they grew on me.

thanks lot

my fenders are rolled so i only really rub from body roll when i go into turns fast. im getting an eibach rear sway bar in a week so that should help alot.
im running 225/35/19 in the front and 225/30/20 in the rear. your right about the 20 in the back that extra inch makes the rim look so much better i cant explain it.

those look great, especially on a red car

O.o I'm glad to finally see what ya had got. That chrome looks clean on that SMR. Nice job keep it up

Sick wheels

If you run 20's in the rear and 19's in the front...is it noticeable or obvious looking?

for someone who's not into cars no they wouldn't notice. but for a car guy yea mainly because the series tires. the sidewall in the front is bigger the sidewall in the rear.

Gotcha.

So why do 20's look better in the rear?

Is there a larger gap because my wheels rub more in the rear and I have my fenders rolled flat.

Just picked up a camber kit because my only option now is to camber in the wheels.

So, where'd you pick these up from? Might have to go explore for a set! LOL

i just like them just not the added weight that comes with them.

dont think theres a larger gap


i got them out the black market. that particualr rim is actually discontinued now. but the company does make some other nice rims.

lookin good man!

very nice!

Does it feel more "sluggish" now...?

yea it does a little but the cl really isnt a super fast car anyway. but im picking up my Supercharger in a week so i wont be sluggish for very long. plus im not into the whole racing thing anymore so it doesnt bother me.

I like the fitment of those wheels. Looks really nice. The first set of pictures i wasn't really feeling it, except the last one. The second set of pics posted were more convincing. Post more if you got em.

BTW, is the paint coming off around the front wheel well, or is that mud? Pic 5 first set. If the paints coming off, how did that happen

to your first statement yea the fitment is perfect i love the flush look. oh yea im not much of picture taker but i do want to get some better pics. the paint is chipping a little around area that but its not serious its an 8 year old car so it wont be perfect. im more focused on my s/c so ill address that issue when im done with the charger.

wow diddy these wheels look amazing! good shiet!

thanks alot

nice rim on wrong color i say.... red needs to have black rims, just my 2 cents

my last set was black so i wanted something different plus i think the whole black rim thing is kind of played. thanks though.

get a bbk behind those wheels. :)

they are made for brake clearance.

thats what i got planned next after im done setting up my s/c.

Nice whip!! I got the same color but I'm running 20x8.5 all around.

^ Your link doesn't work. :dunno:

Best bet is to create a new thread under the Photo Gallery so we can check out/comment on your ride. :thumbsup:
