Black and Gold DPEs

itsthechuck · 02-23-2009, 07:16 AM

Got one shot at the moment, just threw the wheels on this weekend, which is a crazy thing to do this time of year in RI. Hope you like em.

Ninja edit; I know it needs to be lower, i'll put the coils on once the spring rolls around.
Color corrected! thanks jahang!

Looks insane

19 ? Dunlop tires ?

groovyjay · 02-23-2009, 07:39 AM

Mental!

cuizhuoyi01 · 02-23-2009, 07:40 AM

look perfect!!!!!!!!!!!! what about the size, offset and weight of these wheels?

Mark M · 02-23-2009, 07:44 AM

Just not feelin it....sorry. Looks like too much going on there. Black car, gold rims, red interior. Just a bit too busy for my taste. Then again, I have never been a bit fan of gold rims.

itsthechuck · 02-23-2009, 07:46 AM

The wheels are 18x8 in front 18x10 in back, I am running Dunlop Z1 Star Specs. 235 tire in front 265 rear, DPE doesn't give out the offset when they make wheels but of course they guarantee fitment. As for weight I don't know exactly but they were certainly lighter than stock.

As for the color i've sweated gold wheels for quite some time now.

What is that about? You buy big money wheels and you don't even get the specs? That 10" wheel at the back looks sweet!

M3R1 · 02-23-2009, 07:55 AM

I never liked gold anything, especially wheels... However, that looks awesome!

randomquickness · 02-23-2009, 08:21 AM

in the words of borat "very nice!"

hurry up and post the other pics!

AchtungF80 · 02-23-2009, 08:34 AM

Nice, but boy-racerish.

itsthechuck · 02-23-2009, 08:59 AM

Added a few more.

AchtungF80 · 02-23-2009, 09:06 AM

I will say this...the rubber looks good!

randomquickness · 02-23-2009, 09:22 AM

yeah, wish dunlop had my sizes. awesome tires, awesome rims. well done!

and 1 · 02-23-2009, 09:38 AM

a little out there for my taste, but hey it's your car bud. so you gonna start coming up to MA to show off those wheels at our g2gs? let's get a little RI representation (my whole family's from the prov area)

1013mm · 02-23-2009, 10:10 AM

Are these 19"??? I dont think need a drop or they will rub.

itsthechuck · 02-23-2009, 10:22 AM

They are 18's, we'll see if they rub when the car gets dropped if they do maybe i'll roll the fenders if possible.

As for going up to MA I probably will once the weather gets better, how about some folks come down to RI, probably be having some g2gs at my shop come spring.

ichiban · 02-23-2009, 10:27 AM

Looks great, i love the black and gold combo. i'm thinking about going the same route, if you don't mind, how much did you get the wheels for shipped?

Russo · 02-23-2009, 10:50 AM

look wierd... not sure how else to put it... i'm a big fan of gold wheels too

Motorsports_3 · 02-23-2009, 11:01 AM

I love black and gold, but that color gold is like really yellowish. I am not the biggest fan of it. I do like the rubber, and the 18's dont seem so small, if you slam it the car would look awesome.

What does "Man" racerish look like? The M3 GTR?

I like the unique look and more power to him...although the Terra does throw it off just a little...no worries, tint the windows and roll them up!

Edit: Just realized the interior is Terra not Coral.....

arok · 02-23-2009, 11:17 AM

love em, great choice. the gold is a little brighter than I usually go for... I've had gold wheels on several of my cars.

Black/Gold works great as always. good stuff.

arok · 02-23-2009, 11:17 AM

oh btw, any rubbing issues?
