Getting the same exact wheels and same tire size... Eventually.

Familiar looking background too. Peninsula area?

Hey guys!

Finally got my wheels and tires put on since its actually starting to be spring here in MN. They turned out perfect! It's exactly the look I was going for. These are the 17x9 Mach V Aweomes in gunmetal. The color is pretty dang close to the Asphalt color. The car is lowered on a set of Hotchkis springs, about a 1" drop. Sorry, no awesome photographer here, just a point and shoot with an old camera. I will get some pro ones done this summer when its nice out.

Cheers

beautiful. how much does the 17x9 weigh ? what size tire ?

forzajuve · 03-28-2013, 08:00 PM

It is not that bad. I like it a lot man! What tires did you go with? Also, because you used Hotchkis springs to lower the car 1 inch, does that compromise the integrity of the suspension and/or shocks? How hard can you still drive it with a spring lowering kit as oppose to a new set of coilovers? Hopefully my question makes sense (sorry there are so many!), I am still learning more about all this stuff. Also why 17x9 vs. 17x7.5 or 8 or 8.5?

Thanks buddy

I absolutely love the springs. You can't even notice a difference in ride quality vs stock. The wife even confirmed that she couldn't even tell a difference from the passenger seat.

Looks great man, I am going to jack your style! Seriously those are close to the exact style and color I want.

Clipdat · 03-28-2013, 11:36 PM

Wow those look great! Also nice looking exhaust!

Wonder how these would look on my whiteout. Been looking for a nice 5 spoke design.

Please do! I hope this will help people make decisions on what they like and don't like. I was hoping they would look this good on my suspension set up, with the color of the car, and it pulled it off nicely

Oh, I forgot to answer your other question. To be 100% honest, I went with 17x9 simply because of the wheel itself. I really fell in love with these wheels and was pretty dead set on getting them. Found out they were 17x9's, did some research, liked what I read and went with them. I do like how these particular wheels sit flush with the fenders. Now I can see where all of this "stance" controversy comes from. I'm not a serious auto/x, track car god like most people on here. Just like to have fun driving to work, and cruising on the weekends, and having a car that I can stop looking at when im walking away from it.
