Donpisto's New Wheel Setup

Unfortunately I can't take pics of a final setup because I have so much work that needs to be done. Really damaged my front fender and rears need lots of work since I'm doing the body work myself (cutting inner fender walls and hammering out more). Also I need a couple new suspension parts (rack and pinion and driver front lower control arm) along with fixing my O2 sensor. Damaged the crap out of those being too low....low enough where a lug nut won't clear the sway bar. I drive on some pretty bad roads too and of course it's my daily.

That said this isn't a final setup. I know the rears are tucking and fronts not poking enough, fenders need to fixed in the rear, less negative camber all around and adjust the height, tad lower all around, more stretch in the rear too, and a new front bumper since it's held by zipties since the mounting point to the fender broke. 

Specs:
Wheels are BMW Style 95's (745 wheels). 19x9 and 19x10 +24. I have custom adapters, 40mm for the front and 31mm for the rear. Effective offset are 19x9 -16 and 19x10 -7
Tires: 215/35/19 Nankang NS-II's in front and 235/35/19 Achilles in the rear

Center caps will have 5mm crystals filling them completely. Color of the wheels is a sparkle silver. Major props and shout out to zeroscythe and Strafe for hooking it up. Got a great deal on stripping the paint, fixing curb rashes, and powdercoating the wheels. Color really pops out in the sun.

Onto the pics:

I'm curious as to why you went with these instead of keeping the t1s's

vicious downgrade imho.

It's a huge downgrade. Reason why I went with these is because I had to sell my previous wheels. Really need money. I was going to keep the G35 oem wheels but I got a great deal on the wheels and powdercoating I couldn't pass up on and I sold my OEM wheels for a good price.

:pat: you did what you had too .. :biggthumpup:

The wheels speak for themselves. Im sure u will get things dailed in soon enough.

ahaha let me get at them when your done! :D

i respect the fact that he kept it real and did what he had to do

Nice lug nuts, what are they?

Looks good. Like I said on fb.

word. that's a different story. minor setback for a major comeback.

I probably woulda gone with the OEM 17's had I known my cousin was going to sell his Tercel so I can save money on gas. 2nd time he's mentioned selling it after I don't have the money. FML.

Yup...that would be correct.

i'll buy your lugs if it fits my weds lug holes

Sorry, not for sale. Took me several months to get these and I'm a crystal wh0re they won't be going anywhere lol

You get them off of Jeremy?

Na....buddy of mine with a 7 series. He put 22's on his ride and told him I was interested.

Coo, thanks and your car is looking good on those wheels, must be comfy riding on those.

40mm spacers? for real? that is massive:)
i always had a soft spot for bmw wheels on jappas, looks good, but certainly a downgrade.
But each tot heir own i guess

while obviously the wheel itself is a down grade, i actually prefer the look overall of your car being on 19s vs 20s.  it seems your car is a never ending project, and im really glad you didnt buy a tercel lol shits got like 80hp

82 hp, it's got a short ram intake hahaha. I definitely love the 19's over 20's. Gonna stick with 19's from now on. If I got the tercel I woulda put spacers on some other Infiniti OEM wheels, prob coupe 18's. Financially that woulda been better but I'm too impulsive.

Glad you kept it going. Hows the inside as well?
