Default MUZZY got some new shoes! J8 pro 19x9/10, 245/275

got them used from a forum member on this site.... love them!
has sevier curb rash on one and scratches on another but overall real happy with them. Handles better and kinda fixed my traction problem. I still cant go WOT on first. will probly get some 295 for the rear when i burn these out.

OBTW I KNOW I NEED A DROP NOW!
YES its my PINK phone!
They were vary dirty and still are, I just got tiered b/c my arms are going to fall off.

Nice, have always thought the J8's were the sickest non-Work/Volk rim!

I agree with drop needing to be done...

Looks nice, other than the smallish rear sidewall. Is that a 275/30? With a 5mm taller rear sidewall the lack of drop wouldnt be as pronounced-also the tire being that stretched doesnt help. Look forward to meeting you on the Skyline drive man...btw what kind of d!ck sells wheels that dirty!!

cant make it to skyline this week >< i know.

nah the wheels are 275-35 but since its 10" wide instead of 9.5" it has a little stretch and looks lower like a 30. when I go through them ill get 285/295 next

I think thats why I was able to get these wheels b/c they were that dirty on the pictures when he was selling them. he is a nice guy and offered to clean them b4 i p[icked them up but I wanted them this saturday and told him it was OK since he didnt have time to clean them

ps i wasnt trying to be a dick against you on the other thread. sorry if it sounded that way

You can fix that curb rash yourself, a DA sander and some 220/280 sandpaper takes off pretty much all curb rash. Then wet sand with 400/600 wet/dry sand paper and then buff with with mothers aluminum polish.

thanks for the compliments all

-pink phone long story behind it
-yea I would love some stoptechs but for now im painting my calipers red, I already did them actually pics to come
-The J8 are my fav that are none work/volks too and they are moderetly priced new. They also discontinued them so if you want new ones pick them up now.
-thx for the hint on fixing the rash.
-yea i need some side and rear skirts but next in line is full carbon fiber top, goign for the 2 tone look with red/CF.
