I just got new wheels and tires and will be doing more mods in the next couple weeks and will update this thread as i go:
first, added 20" Ace Convex Titanium 20x8.5 +38 wheels
255/35/20 Michelin Pilot Supersports
Tein SS Coils have been ordered and will be installed soon. I wasnt planning on lowering the car, but with the aggressive offset and larger tires i went with (to avoid lowering ironically), i feel like it needs one now. i was torn between 19s and 20s, and may sell these and replace them with 19s as i prefer a more OEM-style look.
mods i will detail with DSLR pics in the future are:
XLR8 cross drilled rotors
JNC Headlights
Tein SS lowered suspension (planning on a conservative 1" drop up front and .6" rear)

iphone pics for now:

Looks good. The drop will make a big difference. I think Buddy has the same wheels...

LawnPro

I like the Ace wheels, how about adding the aero kit?

vivmike

Hi. What did you do to the calipers? They look cool.

01stang

Looks good! Also curious to know about the calipers.

Vidol642

The same caliper cover you make fun of

Vidol642

Car look great a drop and it will look even better. The caliper cover add a nice touch to the wheels. I have then on my ride and get lots of compliment but most of the guys here make fun of then.

Car looks clean and sharp.

Loving the choice in tire, the super sports are amazing.

I feel like the gunmetal wheels are working against you hence the more apparent wheelgap - if you had something in a brighter color it would visually create more contrast and "hide" the wheel gap, kind of how it works on my car. Can't wait to see her a tiny bit lower, will really complete the look.

Also, the OEM aero kit would really compliment the aggressive wheels, and give you a little more to work with visually.

Btw op nice pics! The drop and a lip kit will complete the look!!!

ufmike316

some more pics before the drop. JnC headlights should be here tomorrow also.

vivmike

LOL. Caliper covers looked good from far away. They wouldn't be so bad if they didn't add the bolts stickers.

Vidol642

Love the caliper covers, cant wait to se the drop

LawnPro

The +38 offset of the wheels looks perfect to me. I wouldn't mind seeing a set of polished wheels in that design, just curious i guess.

I like the caliper covers too.

so i got new wheels and tires - ace convex titanium 19" with michelin primacy mxm4 tires and Tein SS coilovers installed. I will post pictures this weekend.
As a result, I am selling my 20" wheels and tires for $1500 in this BM thread:

Are you able to notice any significant improvement in handling with the Wheels and Tires - By the way - I like the look..

ok, got my new canon t3i DSLR and took some pics. installed TEIN SS coilovers to lower it about .75" and now have ace convex titanium 19x8.5 et40 with michelin primacy mxm4 tires. i wanted to lower it to get rid of the wheel gap, but did not want it to look slammed. i was going for the look of wheel gaps on high performance lines of cars, such as AMG, M, or S. i had it lower, but raised it up as with the 40 offset, too low made the wheels look a little tucked in. i have the TEINs set to 5, and the ride is great. handles better than stock, but rides smoother. i do hear "rattles" when i go over bumps i never heard before though. they sound like they are coming from the suspension. id really like to figure out what it is and fix it. I also have the JnC headlights installed. and i painted my XLR8 drilled rotors completely black with caliper paint and machined them. they were warped and rusty as hell before doing this.
Also, i have my 20" ace convex's with Michelin supersport tires for sale in the black market.

Your car looks great,love the drop

How do you like the Primacy compared to the Super Sport?

Treblig

Like Glass!

ufmike316

thanks.
the primacys are a lot quieter and smoother. the supersports have unbelievable handling, but the ride is better with the 19" primacy.

Defjamz

Nice, clean look. Love your setup with 19's!

LawnPro

So clean!!!
