your exhaust hangs that low ?! In for rear shots to see this...thats odd

Not sure how worried you are about ride comfort but you need to drop that another 1"

Still looks great though, I almost pulled the trigger on GT-30s before I found my SFChallenges.

I only have about 2 7/8 inches clearance!

Wow, so basically if you get the FI exhaust, you cant lower the car low enough to get rid of all the gap? Was set on FI because of the power gains and the way they look, but that definately kills it.

Not entirely so. This happened to me because I chose such a low profile tire, which reduced the overall diameter of my wheel/tire. This has the effect of making me have to lower my car more than someone with a wheel/tire of larger diameter to get rid of all the tire gap.

Does that kinda make sense? I'm not sure if I explained that properly.

703z · 09-17-2009, 08:45 PM

yeah makes perfect sense. I was going to get 19inch wheels though with low profile tires as well. That will probably make my car sit even lower then yours since you have 20's i think? if thats the case, no way i can get a FI exhaust

What are those, 30 series tires?

vehl · 09-09-2009, 11:09 PM

should lower the car more, just like forged performance did with they grey z34.

That white G in front of the door is pretty sick.

dainedazz · 09-11-2009, 05:00 PM

Looks good!

PROPS for the GOLD RIMS! not a lot of people would f*ck with gold rims!
I myself is getting gold ones

different style & design from yours tho! I cant wait till i get mine. most likely January

im getting my rims in 19's and looking/shooting for the most aggressive offset!

HAVE FUN WITH THE RIMS AND ENJOY THE NECK BREAKING WHEN U DRIVE BY!

btw, your car would really look good if it was tinted

Zerafian · 09-13-2009, 11:16 PM

well damn!..thx for posting that pic for meh

Those are friggin huge...oh well I suppose. Like I said before the rims still look great.

MightyBobo · 09-14-2009, 11:14 PM

Ugg, got my answer - definitely stay away from gold. Props for trying it. Not for me, though

fuct · 09-18-2009, 08:46 AM

if your going to get 19" rims then get some nice meety tires too! why would you want rubber band tires anyways??

rednek01 · 09-18-2009, 09:07 AM

I typically love gold wheels on a black car, but this just doesn't work and I think I know why. The gold center section looks great however when combined with the silver lip it looks terrible. Even in the pictures with just the rims and tires something just looks off. It needs to either be solid gold or solid polished not both it causes it to be too busy and there is too much if a funky contrast. However its your car and if you love it then that is awesome and I am happy for ya!

I totally feel where you're comin from. When I first looked at pics of these on the net I had the same reaction. They grew on me though, and they're dazzling in direct sunlight. The gold shines up and is completely reflected by the polished part, makes it look all gold. Then as it starts to become night the polished part does more reflecting of headlights and the wheels have a completely different look. Its almost like a dr jekyll and mr hyde type thing.
