I can't decide of I like these. They looked horrible with the car up in the air but on the ground I like what they did to the fender gap. I think it might look better with the windows tinted like the hatch, maybe even the side stripes again?

Opinions? The next wheel set I'd want to get is $2400(17x9.5 black weld rts) so I'd be waiting a while on stock wheels.

WayFast84 12-11-2012 02:52 PM

yeah they are coming off..

WildBillyT 12-11-2012 03:32 PM

Put them up for sale, and if you change your mind just take down the ad.

Lt1_8U 12-11-2012 04:25 PM

then if you change your mind you can put it back up

WayFast84 12-11-2012 05:45 PM

or just leave it up because they are for sale.

Do NOT like. I think the ALL black wheel just looks cheap. You might as well put on a black steel wheel that has brake dust on it for the last few years. I like them if they have some polished area like the lip or the lug nuts.

mask the inside and plastidip JUST the face white?

This^^^ Maybe if wouldnt be as bad if the wing wasnt black too. The wing kinda looks like it was just bought and never painted.

Yeah they are getting taken off tomorrow morning. I'm painting the hatch/wing and rear bumper this spring If I have it by then.

Another question: Should I go with weld rts 15x8 or 17x9.5 rears? I think I'm going with 17x5 up front after I get the CTSV brakes.

15in rears and 17in fronts looks good with that wheel in a drag setup. And fyi can be had for a lot less than $2400

the 15's are $500 for the pair. The other sizes are $$$.

Why apply logic to a WF thread and expect results?

How much would you want for the ta bumper?

Mike 12-12-2012 08:45 AM

I'd take 50. But just remembered it has a hole drilled in it for the battery shut off switch. Whatever body shop you use can fill it but you may not want to bother. 50 on the side skirts too while I'm at it

1320B4U 12-12-2012 09:43 AM

Better than the stock 5 stars but it wouldn't look too bad w/it lowered, windows tinted and targa portion painted black.

Do you still have the battery relocation stuff?
