I was thinking if I don’t end up liking the look/color I can just have them powdercoated a different color for about $600.

$1K for the set?!?!? Sponsorship? I like them vs something overly aggressive.

I'd pull the trigger but I can't do black cars... The previous car was black and it was a pain to keep clean. Truly a next-level dedication is needed. I appreciate the offer though

CeeTeeX5 · 02-09-2018, 06:08 PM

Test fit the 22s today. The rears are very flush. The fronts poke out a few mm but that is mainly due to the tire (it looks worse than it really is as the car is in the air in the pic from the front). I will probably go with a 265 up front after I wear these out. On that note, I think I need to get my rockers clear bra'd...before the wheels go on officially in the spring. I'm under $2k all in, including the wheels, tires, tpms, mount & balance.

In the side profile shot the wheel gap doesn't look too bad and the suspension hasn't settled back down yet.

Let me know what you guys think. Please excuse the dirt...today is the only clear day we've had in weeks. It's getting washed tomorrow.

Looks great!

P.S. Now you'll need bigger rotors and calipers

Thanks! How did I know you were going to say that

I'll be keeping an eye on your brembo thread

The brakes definitely look tiny with these 22s.

it's azurite which is more navy blue with metallic fleck than black but i understand. this color and carbon are not easy to keep looking vibrant and glossy.

Back looks perfect! Front does look like it's sticking out a lot in the pic though, let's see some more pics when it's ready!

Yah, the pic definitely makes the front look worse than it is. In the third pic the rear is down while the front is in the air; you can see the difference in camber which makes the front stick out more since the front wheel is just hanginf. I wish I had snapped a pic from the front while it wasn't in the air. The wheels are actually off and in storage for the next couple months (if I can wait that long) until the weather gets a bit better here so no pics till then.

I went in to it knowing there could be some poke and am totally ok with it. I also am Thinking about lowering on the Eibach springs which will mitigate some of the poke and don’t want to run spacers to get flush.
