My '05 V - Summer mode engaged



Re: My '05 V - Headers in. More parts exist. Its slow

I doubt this will ever happen. I don't see you doing the 5 lug swap. You'll buy parts and then sell them off just like everybody else.
 
Re: My '05 V - Headers in. More parts exist. Its slow

quote came in at $510/wheel plus $60/wheel for the custom PCD...looooool. that's $2280 for a set of 18s in case you can't count.

next wheel to ask about, tsw bathurst.

I can't wrap the thought , it only has 18s.

What happened to the quote...from the first page, about 20s?

>>""wheels: avant garde m550 (20x9 +35mm, 20x10 +38mm, satin silver [$450 adder for dolphin grey]) [$1400/set + shipping]
tires: 245/35R20, 275/30R20""<<
 
Re: My '05 V - Headers in. More parts exist. Its slow

moving this year so i not only need the money, but i may be parking outside for a while and i'm not doing that with a set of nice wheels. going to keep it simple, get the car 5 lug swapped, and then make moves next year towards an actual nice set (3 piece).

besides, if you look at the "plan", 2016 was the year for nice wheels. so technically i'm not straying from the original plan, hah.

Re: My '05 V - Headers in. More parts exist. Its slow

yep, but they'll have some 245/45s on for summer. no biggie.

My exact same predicament lol. Can't spend to much on wheels. Got to many other responsibilities. But maybe sometime next year I can really get nicer wheels.


Nice choice BTW. Clean and simple.
 
Re: My '05 V - Headers in. More parts exist. Its slow

i planned to keep them silver, really.

i wanted to order a gunmetal set, but they were 4-5 months out on those (not in stock) and because of having "old stock" of the silver sets i got $40 off per wheel and the entire set shipped to me under $650. they're not super, duper nice wheels, but they fit the bill on what i want them to accomplish.

springs are in. wheels are paid for. i think they should show up sometime next week since they're in stock and all.

245s on a 400hp car is gonna suck for traction. I can't get traction from a dig with 285s
