Thanks man....went through hell to get them and they are no longer available so they'll be kind of a novelty

912's ran $445 from discount tire on eBay...great price I thought!

stillhere153 had a lot to do with me getting these wheels...I bought them from enigmaos but Al helped me out big-time. look forward to seeing your ride on the hyper-silver Grav's milk man...it's gonna look sexy!

usps dropped the ball.

USPS FTL... is CORRECT... just in case anyone from the outside who may be reading, tom (enigmaos) and I shipped the wheels to the OP, and USPS pretty much did a 25% delivery... screwed up everything

GLAD YOU FINALLY GOT EM THO

you gonna need a drop

firstacuratl

iTrader: (2)

Well...50% actually...LOL. But everything seemed to have worked out alright...if the next set arrives intact and complete

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

has it been 21 days for the missing wheel? and what is usps gonna do give you cash? or replace (the impossible to replace) wheels?

firstacuratl

iTrader: (2)

Can't file a loss claim until the 17th....filing damage claim the same time. Not sure but I'm sure they'll drag their feet like any Federal Gov't entity is trained to do They gotta cash me out since they're irreplaceable!

MWalsh9152

that sucks that they lost the wheel, I Bought an amp from NJDevil a while back and it was damaged in transit by USPS. I returned it to him and he filed a claim. From what he told me they made good on it without too much hassle.

jguerra23

USPS is actuallly pretty good at filling a claims as long as you have all your paper work ready. Since the total loss is less that 1000 dollars you will be ok.

firstacuratl

iTrader: (2)

^^^ Good info to know...I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope both claims go smooth. This has been a learning experience if nothing else.

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

well I am glad I overnighted you the slips and receipts...

now they have no way out but to pay up...

firstacuratl

iTrader: (2)

Yup...you have been a great help through all of this BS......Thanks again Al.

iTrader: (2)

Just a few pic before I rack out...car gets a bath tomorrow!

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

damn, now I see why you were fighting to get these on, they look very good, especially with the black reflection on the polished lips...

ok ok seriously tho, get a drop, pm me if you need any advice

firstacuratl

iTrader: (2)

Yea, I know...now that I got 'em mounted up I'm thinking drop for sure. I gotta slow down on the mods for now though I'm kind of wishing I would've went with wider skins now...265/35-18's would've worked well I think.

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

update your signature for starters... and yea you need to spread the mods out, like I didnt put everything on my car in 1 day, it was a year long process

milk man

hey they look very good .... need that dropp...where you get the lug nuts from and how much?

firstacuratl

iTrader: (2)

Thanks milk man....got the lugs from this outfit http://www.optionimports.com/kiprr40lugnu.html ... pricey but I liked them so WTH? You only live once...

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

tons of places have em, mynismo is my store of choice, I might get the 4 project kic locks just for the hell of it lol

ifirahse

iTrader: (6)

Dude

1. get some wheel locks before you get JACKED in the middle of the night.

and 2. Which cheapo shipped wheels through USPS???

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

... that'd be me, cheepo? not really it was $205 to ship em to the OP...

I had previously shipped 4 wheels and 4 tires without any problems

milk man

..... kinda unnecessary comment

enigmaos

iTrader: (4)

looking good, Rob. More pics after wash.

firstacuratl

iTrader: (2)

I knew EVERYTHING when I was 17 too ... but that was a long time ago

firstacuratl

iTrader: (2)

Here ya go Tom...2 are yours and 2 are from the West Coast...LOL

It might look like a 4x4 without a drop but in the grand scheme...not really

WalkerUA6

iTrader: (1)

Oh yah, It really needs a drop. I actually think the (A) center cap looks alot more clean IMHO.

win63dow

Love those wheels , too bad they're discontinued . I would like to have a set for my ride .

Geez swaga

(A) center caps from a tl-s gunmetal wheels would definitely set it off nicely

milk man

my mouth jst dropped to the floor those rims are hot on your car even with out the drop.... but you still need the drop your car looks so fresh and so clean

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

Nice wheels... don't look like 18s though

firstacuratl

iTrader: (2)

Agreed...drop is inevitable now

I am looking for those...my thoughts exactly.

Thanks for the props milk man...I try very hard to keep her immaculate at all times.

I think too much tire sidewall makes them look smaller than 18's...next set of tires will be 255 or 265/35-18's...after the drop of course.

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

oh so now you want the mean performance look... 265/35-18 imo would look HOT AS FUCK

245/40-18 looks pretty damn good tho

jguerra23

Man I should of bought these.. But for some reason next to my ride.. they dint look good. Oh well Hyper Silver it is

firstacuratl

iTrader: (2)

The Hyper-Silvers match your car awesome man...and look soooo much better with your drop. I'm not sure the Gunmetals would look right with anything but NBP or maybe WDP

enigmaos

iTrader: (4)

I can't get enough of the pics. The car looks much more aggressive now! nice touch on the CF cls lip and nice color scheme.

wanna wash my car?

245/40/18 is fine after drop. Give it a try first. 1.5"-1.75".

firstacuratl

iTrader: (2)

Definitely a huge improvement huh? It'll be better when I recoup $600 from USPS for their screw up I really like the CSL spoiler...kind of unique and noone else is rockin' it around here; it really sets off the rear of the car combined with the TL-S tails. I'm going to roll the 245's until they're done and then rethink my tire choice...car will be dropped by then for sure

Lots of claying and polishing to get her to shine like that...wash/wax is a waste without prepping the paint proper; but what a huge PITA to prep! Black is PAIN...LOL.
