Default New Wheels, Custom Intake Tube & Catch Can

Hey all,

I don't post often but here's what Ive been up to..

Bought some wheels - Weds SA15-R 19x9.5 +35 235/40/19 w/ Michelin PSS and 19x10.5 +45 275/35/19 Michelin PSS

Built myself a custom intake tube and welded a -10an fitting for a catch can and had it powdercoated santex black.

Fabbed a little bracket and installed a dual radium catch can setup, my intake manifold had a pool of oil in it when I cracked the throttle and looked inside.

Enjoy.

Nice work with the intake and catch can, Radium makes a quality product, but spendy haha.

Was just looking at Weds website today, digging the new SA-10R, but no 19" option

do you think you can run 295s? I hate how 275s are stretched on 10.5"

Love the custom intake fabrication and catch can setup.

Very neat install.

Great work!

Sweet looking wheels. The black chrome goes well with the Obsidian. It's also nice to see the custom work with regards to your intake.

Definitely not, with this wheel spec I first attempted a 285 but I rubbed on factory suspension.

Yea definitely expensive, you can see in one of the pictures I also had to use a -10AN Banjo fitting from Radium as well... $$$. Wait a few months as a little birdy told me Weds is releasing a couple new designs.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Really like the rear wheels set up with that offsets. It looks perfect no need to roll the fenders . To me 275/35 on 10.5 wheels does not look stretch at all.

That's pretty funny because I am actually planning on buying the exact same wheels. The only difference is that I'm thinking about getting the blue light chrome color to match the blue on the F emblems. Would love to see picture of the side view of the car!

With that black powdercoating and that bracket it looks almost like it's been there from factory. Love it!
Some close ups on the fitment? Looking at the same specs and want to know how they sit
