SSR GTX does not come in appropriate sizes for our car

the most aggressive setup is 19x9.5 +25 and 19x10.5 +22

weaker than your standard TE37 setup

Just a little teaser of something that's in the mix as we speak...

This sparks my interest

That brake kit WOULD be awesome!

Sorry for misleading the group...but since wheels are sometimes called a car's "shoes", my Z is a posh-y girl and likes fancy pumps...errr, ok, nevermind.

'nuff said, on with the show:

Just a quick iPhone pic right after the install.

I got my SP1s back last August and kinda was bummed that the flat gunmetal was a little dark (was looking for more of a contrasty look to the wheels, not for them to appear all black)...I then ventured to some Volk TE37SLs in Mag Blue (which look awesome on the car), but the Z wanted another pair of pumps.

Instead of getting yet another set (Josh @ Kami Speed would have loved me even more, lol), I decided to powder coat the centers. Tiffany Blue is a love it or hate it color, but that's what I went for, a classy look (which this pic does not do justice for).

I'll bust out the Nikon for some better pics once the weather gets better.

Now, to save up for those brakes!

I still love you just the same! ^^^^^^^

Though you should jump in on those OG TE37s.........LOL

OptionZero 02-01-2019 05:51 PM

Props for doing something different!

I think you’re headed in a good direction.

The tricky thing about dark lips is “losing” them in the tire. Just my .02, a TA stripe on the outside edge raised lip. I think there are even TA stickers now? Something that compliments the teal blue (or maybe contrast); or you could do tire stickers if you like those. Then match the lugs to that that color. White stripe, white lugs. It would break up all the black.

Or just tell me to bugger off.

I do dig them though :)

did it with my old 350z back in 09'. It made such a big difference. The hard part is finding the right thickness for the strip and in some cases, complimenting it with the right color. If I remember correctly, I went with 1/4" or 6-7mm thickness.

Just wondering, is there a special tape to use?

At first I couldn't spot the difference, but when you do, it makes a huge difference! Those are some sweet old-school Volks, btw!

I went to a vinyl shop and got them to cut me, I think it was, 16 57"-60", 1/4" wide strips, on a 19" wheel. Most vinyl shops carry 3M or Avery vinyl so youll always get a good brand. Youll want back up strips since they start to get a bit scuffed up every 6 months or so, due to wear and tear of daily driving.
