OEM Wheel Modification Thread
thanks it looks pretty hot right now but its gonna be a little while for the full shot pictures. My ******* friend stripped the bleeder valve hole when he cross threaded the bleeder. so I have to get that retaped well enough so it can hold the crazy amounts of pressure.
i went with 25mm, 20 isnt strong enough, couldve went with 30 actually.....and ya good ol stockers rattled can'd lol. repainting in the next couple of week(hint:its going to be the color of my towhook!) and it is dropped on tanabe gf210's. best spring drop IMO
all in all i would do tanabe gf210(your going to need a camber kit!) i dont have one but coils are coming soon with new wheels. and get 25mm spacers with built in studs. that should be perfect!

Finally adding a picture of my black rims with blue brembos. Ill take some more eventually. Lemme know what you think.

I realize its hard to see the brembos with the wheel cocked like that. More coming soon :P

^ I agree. Stuff doesnt match.
I would like to see:
Front lip to match the aggressive wing and hood.
Paint the hood to match the car
Rims: Black doesnt work. Either go back to stock color, or buy some decent wheels if budget allows.
I think the blue brakes can work, but you need a theme. Right now nothing matches correctly.

Thanks again for the input. Ill get more pics as progress goes on.
good to see this thread was bumped since there seems to be a growing amount of people who want to powder coat their stockers and dont know where to find any reference pics.
Any body done this havnt ever seen it

^ I hate the look of black rims with the stock colored door handles if the car isn't black. I think it's just overlooked, or like me, people are just too lazy to deal with it. I was planning on getting mine painted when my bumper went in for paint, but that didn't happen either.
