Swapped my GT500 wheels for GT350s...

[Synyster06Gates]

And it took a bit of getting used to, but I really like them now. Especially after cleaning them a couple times. I needed new tires, so I figured I might as well get all new wheels/tires and sell the old ones.

After :

Oh and I got these, but it's been raining on and off so I haven't got any good pictures with them.

Looks good with the new wheels.

looks real good

Looking good! Where'd you score the tail lights? Did you bite the bullet and by them from AM?

 

[Synyster06Gates]

Thanks!

Got the tail lights from eBay. One brand new in box, other was used with a hairline crack that you can't see. Sealed with epoxy and it's good to go. My grand total was ~$700

Damn. Great find! I'll have to keep my eyes open on eBay.

Worth every penny. They make the car look SO much better.

I did spend an additional $70 on the Raxiom trim pieces. The gap looked like shit up close. Ignore the dirty car.

 

[KatoS197]

That was going to be my next question. I definitely need to snag a set of the lights. Plug and play, right?

I found a pair of take offs from a 2013 on Ebay. Perfect condition and the guy already put the raxiom trim piece on for me before he shipped. $900 to my door.

The car looked good before, and even better now. Great job. I like those wheels on the Kona Blue.

 

[KatoS197]

Also, I noticed we have the same springs, but your car looks a little lower. Perhaps the konis dropped the car a little?

 

[Synyster06Gates]

As to your first question - yes, 100% plug and play as long as the new lights come with the wire on the back side of the housing.

I'm not too sure about the Konis. I wouldn't think so, but it's always possible. What's the overall height of your tires?

Thanks! I was debating whether I should do the gloss graphite or the gloss black. I'm glad I went with the graphite. They look fantastic with Kona

Did you go with a square setup? What size tires? These wheels are hard to capture with pictures.

I almost went gloss black also but decided the graphite would show up more.

That was my thought behind it. They look great on your car too. If you were one of the first people to get them and posted in the ACMR group on FB, you're what convinced me to order.

They look good.

Good deal. Not sure what the overall height is, but I'm on 275/35/19

 

[Synyster06Gates]

That would be it then. My tires are a bit (1") taller than yours. I'm running 275/35-20 square.

 

[KatoS197]

Dammit I knew I should've gone with 20s, but the wheel/tire package was stupid cheap.

 

[Synyster06Gates]

^^ $1500 mounted, balanced, shipped, AFTER sales tax

On top of that, I sold the GT500s for $900 (buyer got a STEAL) so I only was out $600 for all new wheels and tires. Until dude ran a stop sign and I hit a curb avoiding the collision. Fucked up one of the wheels and I had to order a replacement since he didn't stop. (go figure)
