Nice purchase Hamish looks like a mint example, and those wheels will set it off !!

[blacktop™]

So what offset did u go for?

[hamish_023]

bought them 2nd hand in brand new condition, That's why i didn't have a choice.
They are 18x8 +48 offset (will post some photos soon).

[hamish_023]

Still not sure whether to keep black or go gunmetal still, thoughts? (The wheels look tiny with the guards high and no tyres)





Update: New Filter in, old one was filthy!

[teK--]

Black looks good but gunmetal better on a black car. Perhaps enjoy the new car for a little while and decide later

[eckymosis]

Car looks mint Hamish! Black MY05/06 GT FTW! Looking forward in seeing your future mods.

Those wheels look good. They even look better when they are dusty, referring to the picture.

[LOWLIB]

going to be a great ride once you have done everything on it hamish.

look forward to following your progress

[hamish_023]

Cheers,
Harry - The wheels are actually clean, they are a nicely finish almost matte black so slightly reflecting the bricks underneath i guess?


My Ultraleggera's go on tomorrow. Although my new wheels nuts haven't arrived so hopefully the stock GT ones will be ok until then...

[Jimmy S]

Stock ones should be ok to use...

Look forward to seeing how the black on black suits...

[hamish_023]

Stock GT wheels getting picked up today. Which means bit of extra cash for The front lip + Bilstein/tein combo as the front sits too high. Then the mods will carm down for a while so i can save some cash.



These are with the wheel nuts that came with the wheels. Will eventually buy some non chrome ones some time. Still thinking of painting wheels gunmetal, thoughts?

[Hotwire]

Black on black is fine, wouldn't spend the money on coating the wheels.
I would spend $$ to get the rear spoiler removed and boot patched up

Hey Hamish, I'm with you on changing the rim colour, I'm not a fan of black on black, needs something to offset it a little.

Also what calipers/pads/rotors are you running?

Just stock calipers/pads/rotors just painted the calipers a deep red.

Yeh Hotwire i do want to get remove the spoiler. It's not to bad but will prob get a sti lip soon

[Kimos]

I agree,

black on black is good but a colour offset is needed, design of the rims gets a bit lost. However I'd roll around on them for a while until you've done your sways.
