Picked up a set of RH Evolution C2's today. They have shit tires on them so I'll need new ones and they need to be cleaned up. Both will be done before they go on my car. But I'm happy with them.

Just put the one on to see how I'd like them. I'm digging it.

My brother was sneaky and replaced the screws that hold on my back licens plate with a BWR gold hardware kit.

They look nice. How are they holding up, quality wise? Also, what kind of paint did you end up using?

Sweet choice of wheels

tennisfreak 07-18-2013 06:02 PM

Sweet build. You get the wheels new or used?

Also noticed your in DFW like myself.

I also drive a 07 Toyota Tacoma when I am not driving my Whiteout FR-S, LOL.

I used VHT Nite Shades. It's holding up okay but the top of the lights are fading a little. Either I didn't do them well enough or they're just getting weathered. It was my first attempt at doing them. I might try doing them again but sooner or later I'm probably gonna look into getting aftermarket.

Thanks. I got them used. I'm not a fan of the stock wheels and I wasn't going to have the money in time to get the wheels I wanted before a meet I'm going to next month so I picked up these for the time being. If you're free the first weekend of August, we're having a meet/cruise down is Austin that so far is looking to have a great turn out. There's always room for more!!

Yeah the meet in Austin in on my list and will attend as long as the wife and kids don't need me.

Can I ask where you looked for used wheels? Craigslist? Im in the market for wheels and would not mind used if it saves some $$$$

YangerD 07-20-2013 10:16 AM

Nice car! Everything seems to be coming along nicely :)

Like the wheels a lot, they compliment the car nicely.

My brother got them long ago for my mom's MR2 and she thought they looked too big. I think he got them from craigslist.

Thanks. Slowly but surely. I'm holding off from buying a lot of little things right now because no one in my family can ever decide what to get me for Christmas, birthdays, ect. So at the end of this year I'll have some of the little things I want knocked out hopefully, lol.

I'm happy with them for the moment. Not exactly what I want but they'll serve their purpose.

They ended up not working. They were the Brembo 4 piston calipers for a CTS-V. We've used them sucessfully on a few different cars (Pontiac Solstice, S14, El Camino, ect...) and we were hoping we could use them on this car. The spacing on the mounting holes for the caliper didn't allow for any type of direct bolt on or with a custom bracket.
