how much did the rims cost?

DruDragzOn Mar 24, 2004 04:22 PM

Looks nice. I think it could use a drop though...

Wouldn't on 19 x 8.5 front and 19 x 9.5 rear...
But these are 9.5 front and 10.5 rear. Really pushes them out.
Most are running 245/35 front and 275/35 rear, which gives the tires a bit of a stretched look on this size rim (imho), but allows them to tuck under the fender well a little bit better. I'll be getting the fenders rolled next, but it's been too cold here. Waiting for a nice hot day to get the metal / paint warmed up.
I also like the look. Really aggressive. I've had lots of compliments and only had them on since Monday.

Thanks for the compliment. I agree it could use a drop, but need to get fenders rolled first and then see how much clearance I have. As you can see, these are pretty flush with the fenders, even stick out a bit. I believe rolling the fenders may also flare them a little, giving me the clearance I need for a drop.

Would rather not say how much I got them from John350z for, but next best price was from jeff@evolution. Expect to pay $2400 plus for these rims. Tires in these sizes aren't cheap either.

Dershum Mar 24, 2004 06:06 PM

Is rolling the fenders necesary at those dimensions, or is it so that you can eventually drop it?

john350Z Mar 24, 2004 06:14 PM

looking good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

glad you like them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

roll the fenders and get that drop.

They look sick! Coming from another owner of the LE37T's in the same sizes/specs, I cannot say how good these wheels look in person - pics cannot do justice! :cool:

Don't mean to hi-jack thread, but here are the wheels on Daytona Blue, just in case others want to get an idea of how it looks ;)

same sizes/specs as grutter's, except I have 1.5" drop

Also, I'm running Toyo T1-S's, 245/35 and 275/35 rear

How do you like the Sport Contact II's? I am thinking on buying a set in the near future and was wondering how they handle and if they are noisy or quiet?

285/35's are pretty wide. Actually, I'm surprised that I don't have a rubbing problem now, because it looks like it could rub. Rolling also has a tendency to slightly flare the fenders, so should provide plenty of clearance to drop. I've already found a performance shop to do the work, but they will only do it on a hot, sunny day where the paint / sheet metal is hot. Fronts aren't a problem at all. If I ran 275/35's in the rear, the tires would be streched, and would probably fit under the fender well without rolling. I just don't like the stretched look.

what exact color are those grutter??????

Hi John..
I'm really pleased with the wheels. Pictures really don't do them justice. Waiting on a nice hot sunny day to roll the fenders.. Drop is definately in the future. Hows that EVO coming ?

I actually was originally concerned about the ride quality / noise etc. I was afraid that moving from the 18's to 19's and tires that wide would be like rolling on barrels.

So I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised. Ride quality is better than the original Potenza's, and these tires are quiet.

I was also originally concerned about loss of performance moving to 19's. Again pleasantly surprised. The wheel / tire combo is lighter than the originals and there was an immediate noticable performance improvement. (sorry, don't have weights).

Regarding handling.. hard to tell how much to attribute to the tires vs the fact that they are wider. But definate improvement in handling / cornering moving to these tires / rims.

Color code on box says "SL"
It is a greyish Silver. The only other stock color for these is gunmetal, which is significantly darker.

SirZaLot Mar 24, 2004 08:52 PM

Without the drop, is it stock hight now? Or lower than stock?

joust75 Mar 25, 2004 01:45 AM

It makes me laugh that you bought those from John350z. I thought I say all the wheels that he owned for the Z

The tally is : 3 sets of Te or Le37s and 1 SF winning
Heh heh

john is like women and shoes!!!
