SVE Drifts 19x9.5

[Strengthrehab]

I'm thinking of getting these in Dark stainless and selling my stock wheels and tires.

What do y'all think.

Sweet, get em on. What tire combo will you be running?

Do it! That'll look incredible. I LITERALLY had to do a coin toss between Flat Black and Dark Stainless. Ordering the Flat Black 19x9.5 this weekend.

I may have to keep everything silver then. No black accents.

 

[KatoS197]

I think you're right about that. Once I decided on the Black wheels, I've already got the black badges, roof vinyl, decklid lined up. lol.

 

[Strengthrehab]

I don't like black on dark cars. I don't mind the pp wheels,since they are gloss and what not but dark stainless is beautiful

Agreed! I like contrast, as well.

I like the stock PP wheels on the S550 much better, Ken.

 

[Strengthrehab]

I like them, They are just so damned heavy and I want to go to a square setup.

Plus with the discount they are 650 bucks. I can turn around and sell my stock wheels and tires.

Or.put them on Diana's car but not sure if they will fit.

 

[TGR96]

Yeah I hear ya. It's just that whenever I see Drifts/RTRs/AMRs, and wheels of that general style, I think S197.

JMHO of course, but I'd wait a little bit and see what else the aftermarket comes up with for the S550. Just enjoy your brand new car for a while!

 

[Strengthrehab]

I guess I can lower it a little cheaper, lol.

 

[Gabe]

I don't know Ken, I think they're kinda "meh" on there ...
And this wheel design is a bitch to clean.
My #1 reason I sold my AMR's ... took too long to clean the fkn things

I'd love to see some 5-spoke stuff on your car ...

BTW, the Drifts are on sale right now for $620/set

Yeah. I can get springs and a gt350 wheel

I do like them though.


Edit: Damn you Gabe.

 

[loots06]

Cleaning the wheels is a real pain in the dick! I can't wait to dump mine after my motor build.

IMO always keep your stock wheels. Many reasons to keep them, no good reason to sell them. Because they are stock wheels they won't bring much money but when the day comes that you need them you will pay out the ass for replacements.

 

[Strengthrehab]

I'm gonna hold off on getting wheels. I got some 25mm spacers to bring my wheels more flush. That will work for now.

When I was a kid I remember my dad's opinion on aftermarket wheels (and many other things, he was a bit opinionated). He said "I can't see them from the driver's seat and they don't make the car drive any better or faster. Why the hell would I buy chrome wheels, to impress other people?"

Good point.

Because they make your car look cool, which is important when you are walking towards your car, or when you are walking away from your car and you turn around to check it out.
