I went this morning. They look good. I decided to put the wheel with the slight bend in the rear and see how it is. I don't feel any vibration... However I will have it fixed before my first rotation. I love the way they look. I haven't pushed the Nittos yet, but as far as road noise they aren't any louder than the RE92s.

Here are the pics:

 

Lookin' good!!

 

damn they look sweet.....

Hobe what tire size is that?

Looking nice Hobert

 

I have gone outside several times just too look at them again. Is this too weird, or relatively expected.

 

It's expected for the first week or so. After that, you have issues.

Looks great though!

 

An interesting thing from the installation this morning. Without me asking, the installer painted my calipers(previously unpainted) and the exposed metal on the hub black before installing my wheels. I was gonna paint them black myself later, but it is already done. It seemed to be something they normally do there when installing wheels that expose the caliper more. Kinda cool.

The shop was crazy this morning, too. A couple of sweet azz AMG's, an escalade, a couple of nice Tahoes, etc were all rollin in have work done.

 

Looks good!!!

I guess you couldn't wait for the OZs. Interestingly enough I wanted SSR Integrals at first but tirerack was out of them (they're discontinued as you know). So I got the OZs. In any event, good choice. Enjoy.

 

If I didn't see these on eBay that morning, I most likely would have ended up with the Silver Superleggeras that are out now. Thanks for the compliment.

 

Wow.......looks great !

Very nice rims!

 

how does your car ride now? and if i see your max ill flash my high beams. the rims look sick.

 

Are you asking if it is more rough or it handles better? The ride quality does not feel like it has degraded much if any. I haven't had a chance to test the handling much, but I am sure it will be a huge improvement over the stock Pretenzas.

I'll keep an eye out for your high beams.

 

I was thinking about painting my rotor hub parts and noticed that they were already black. Are you sure it wasn't that way?

That's really cool that they painted your calipers...did they do it the color you wanted?

Oh, car looks PHAT!!! I was looking at getting the Nitto 555 but I'm thinking of getting the Yokohama ES100s. Did you look into these too?

 

Thanks for the feedback.

I hadn't decided on a color so black is cool for now. I watched him paint em, so yeah he did do the hub.

I looked at the AVS ES100's but the cheapest I could find them was $159 each plus $50 shipping from tirerack for a total of about $686.

The Nittos were $142 each shipped from tires.com. Total = $568. I decided to save a $100 and give the Nittos a shot. If I don't like em I spend a little more next time.

 

That's a nice clean look you got going. I would have done chrome with the black exterior, but it really does look nice ether way. Good choice on the Nitto 555's also. I have them on my Mustang and they have held up awesome.

 

dam those rims are hot! you got great taste

 

its majestic blue.

 

Damn, thanks for making my rim decision for me!

 

good luck finding them...

also Hobert the car looks nice

 

No Doubt... I wonder why SSR discontinued them, they are such a good looking wheel.
