Stop teasing damnit!!!!!

 

In due time all...

I have been slammed at work and have not had a chance to get anymore pics.... I hope to be messing with the setup this week/next weekend.... I am seeing I definately need to clean/paint the rear calipers! The fronts look good, but the rears are nasty looking! More pics to come for sure!

 

Latest update:

I finally recieved another set of TPMS valves and a set of Gorilla "The System" black locking lugs so I should have everything I need to get these wheels on...

Last night I sprayed the TPMS install kits black and baked them so I hope the paint holds up as I think this will look much better than the raw aluminum (silver).

My plan for this weekend is to dry fit the rears and see what I need to do to the lip for clearance. Hoping not to have to shave too much... I also plan on cleaning up the rear calipers and get them painted black as they are pretty rough looking

And finally, as I am sure everyone already knows what I got (wheel sock doesn't hide much...), here is another picture to satisfy everyone following my build! Getting excited!

 

That rear concave looks so sick!

 

I'm gonna kick your a$$ if you don't stop what you're doing to us! MORE PICS MAAAAAAAAN!

 

LOL Sorry man!!! I am working as fast as I can.... Here is the progress from this weekend:


Got the rears test fitted.


Cleaned up and sprayed the rear calipers as they were looking rough as hell! I was really thinking about spraying the rotor (minus the area the pad touches of course), but was afraid it may look bad with the glossy... The calipers are a bit too glossy for my taste too, but thats all I could find for caliper paint. Witht he wheels on, it looks better though. Oh, and excuse the nasty wheel well. We have been having quite a bit of bad weather lately...

I am hoping to get the tires mounted this weekend and then I can start figuring out how much shaving I am going to need to do to the rear... Stay tuned...

 

Can't wait for the finished product

 

Hurry up already!

 

these are gonna be so nice!!

 

Alright all, I have finally put my new shoes on my car!!! Sorry for making you all wait so long, but I think it was well worth the wait. I will try to get some better pics soon, but we started getting some rain so I haven't been able to yet.

I had to shave about half of the rear fender lip right where the bumper meets and about 4-5 inches up. The front is rubbing just a bit in the front, but I haven't pulled the trim off yet. I am actually kind of hesitant to because the clips that the trim mounts to is white and very noticable. I am just going to keep an eye on it as I really don't think there is much rubbing going on, but time will tell...

With all of this being said.... Enjoy the show.







If you take a look at this pic, you can see we were able to hide the weights behind the spokes. We used the balancer's "spoke locator" feature to mark the 5 spokes and it balanced based on that. It actually worked great!

 

The car is looking hot. Congrats on the new wheels.

 

boy another Vossen CV3 on 3GS. Are the wheels that hot ?? I guess so huh ?!

looking nice !!

 

congrats. looking good. I like your choice of car color and wheels ;-).

 

Thanks guys! I am loving it!...

@1wacko - we are definitely twinning it! LOL Out of curiosity, what pressures are you running with on your tires? I am currently running at 40psi. This question goes for anyone running the "rubber band" tires...
