New rims - fronts are here, rears end of the week!

Well, okay so maybe this is a bit uncalled for since everyone does these 'i got new stuff' threads but hey, i'm excited, and my build thread is hidden away in 101 haha
 
i know the wheels are a bit soft spec wise but i daily the car and made the tough call to tone it back a bit. it hurts my pride, but i'm sure once on my car and cruising the streets with all the other stock cars it will look okay ;)
 
Details are Work Varianza Schwert SC2 in MSP (Machine Silver Polish)
19x9 +27 O Disk
19x10 +24 O Disk
 
okay, on to the pics..!
 
Hurrah, Boxes...

Rears should be here Thursday/Friday. They should have maybe an inch more dish, and they're both O Disk. Then the fun stuff like tyre fitment and guard mods and harness moving probably...!

nice cant wait to see them on your ride:biggthumpup:

very nice and I like the red center caps.

Love em man..... red centercaps are a great touch.

you got the red gs right? glad to see you decided on something. excellent choice, can't go wrong with the schwert series imo.

awesome so you got one of the first sets of 19" step lip work wheels??

THose wheels look great.  Im happy for you

ant if you would like me to merge the threads. i can do that so its not in the 101 section. however i think you should just add pictures to this since the other thread is like 3 pages.

im loving the red center caps!

These rims looks great. Cant wait to see them on your car.

cheers for all the positive comments guys, glad people like the wheels and the red caps too, i took a bit of a punt with those i think they cost me an extra $160AU or so so i'm glad that they look good.
 
BLACKonBLACK - yeah i have the red GS, made a load of annoying wheel topics but i do appreciate everyones opinions! i overlooked the Schwerts before but i didnt realise 19s came with Step Lip and then it just clicked and i wanted them.
 
phrosttz0 - dude i got no idea? i guess so? i dont think anyone has these in Australia at least so that was all i was thinking, but i havent seen them much apart from in Japanese magazines and they tend to be 20s so yeah may be.
 
mdenoga - cheers for the offer but i tend to agree with you. my build thread is a bit long and tedious so that's why i just made a new one for interest's sake about my wheels. then i can add the rears when i get them and maybe some pics of the car when it's done to round this thread out..and keep my other build one going as i do other less interesting things!

wheels look great! with a red car the red caps should look great and tie it a;; in together!

i like'em how much lip will the rears have?

Very nice with stepped lip.  Why did the rears get seperated?

VIPLuxIS - to be honest i dont know since i chose those offsets specifically so they made them up for me, so they didnt actually have listed anywhere exactly how much lip. But by my rough calculations i figured my fronts would have 3 - 3.5" and that is about right and the rears should have about 3.5 - 4". 
 
AME_VIP - they were sent in pairs so that the value of each pair was below the import tax threshold ;)

I like those wheels! I saw them color matched on a red GS in a VIPCAR mag and they looked great.

wheels are a little different,but i really like them!very nice choice man!:biggthumpup:

those were my other choice other than the sc1's..too bad they dint offer the stepped lip for mine when i ordered :(..i like the stepped lip look better..even if it gives u less "lip"
also..if u decide not to use those red caps..ill buy em off u :)

^ i agree on the lip thing, i wasnt fussed about max lip since i wasnt going super aggressive on offset, so i figured stepped lip is just a bit more interest & detail for your eye to pick up on the car. I'll see how i go with the centre caps, ill sell one pair or the other!

I like that last shot as well.  My next set of wheels will be stepped lips :biggthumpup:

They look sick! Can't ever go wrong with Work rims...

Lovely :biggthumpup:

i concur, Works are the G rims!

Loving it man but i prefer them in non-step lip =)

^ haha well you're outvoted on that :thelaw: j/k =)

hurry and get them on. can't wait!

I am not a big fan of these wheels, but those center caps are really nice :)

Those are Schwerty purty!

Not [i]my[/i] favourite, but I like them all the same - and it's something new!

Nice choice, I like the step lip...can't wait to see it on the car...

step lips are always dope. congrats man.

+1:dance:

Any picts yet...

yeah dude, there's no time to sit around. with such nice wheels, you need to slap them on ASAP!

sorry dudes been saving and pricing up tyres and such, today was the day for tyres (Saturday 18th) and then test fit tomorrow .... Buuuut im here at work :( first time ever i had to work a saturday but there you go.
 
so ill try and get tyres next saturday instead but im away for work on the sunday... then i have to organize guard rolling/shaving as necessary once ive had a look how they sit so that will no doubt be another week or so!

Very nice!

booked in for tyres on Friday, and also getting the shop to have a look how they sit and see if they can roll the guards ... tempted just to tell them to do it and then try a paintless dent guy to fix as much as they can :P

cant wait for the pics!!

lol i'm hanging for pics good to see there is another VIP person down under lol i gotta roll my rears still

good choice.. sick!!

ok wheels are on. guards dimpled a bit at the edges but not too bad. it is visible but not much, im not going to stress over it :P
 
 
i have to go round and touch up all the under-edges since theyre flaked etc but the actual edges look fine to the eye. You will all have to excuse the shit fitment as the front passenger side is quite flush, but the driver side is sunken, and on the rear the driver side is flush but the passenger is sunken! So i will need to get it in for an alignment and ask them to match the camber up side to side. Hopefully the guards are rolled enough on the more sunken sides to allow them to be wound out to match the flush sides. If not its back to for a bit more rolling on those sides! Also the wheels have jacked up the car a bit, so i might lower it a bit more so it is back to the height it was. But for now..

Looks great! I really like it. Just go a little lower and it'll be perfect. Nice work.

looks great, what type of suspension are you working with?

got Insurance Coilovers in there

Looks good, fast moving project too... been waiting to see the wheels on....

Nice! I saw you used 245 in the rear but what size for the front?  

Honestly I think the chrome pillars look out of place.

very nice man!  looks wiked!

[QUOTE=AME_VIP;199528]Nice! I saw you used 245 in the rear but what size for the front?

I agree about the pillars. They stick out way too much. And take away your focus on the wheels.

cheers for the comments guys. AME VIP i went with 235/35 up front, as i wanted more tyre to protect the rims basically. And since i only have +27 offset i figured i shouldnt need any more stretch anyway, which seems to have worked out right. 
 
and the pillars, yeah i have been in 2 minds about them right from the start. they were cheap ones from YAJ so i figured i could remove them if i didnt like them...but then i saw japanese cars with them with the rain guards and liked the look so i got them and now theyre all stuck on top of one another so its gonna be crap to get them off! I'll see how i go with it now the wheels are on though and if they're too much ill have to remove them..

car looks really great with the wheels on. especially with the red caps! do your control arms hit with those coils?

looks good man

volk - nah not at this height, only on real sharp wierd bumps but theyre few and far between and if i slow down its fine. General driving its no problem.
 
cheers guys, went to an Aristo meet with the local club which is all 1st Gens, was cool to see this bright red 2nd Gen in the middle of a sea of like 20 1st Gens, mostly black!

go an inch lower all around and ur good to go!

nice rims u have there.... :)
