Ready to go!

Yeah. I'm leaning towards plastidip due to cost as well. Ghetto, I know. But it works.

And if you spray it with tire shine, they look glossy! That might be my secret.

I think I'm planning on picking up plastidips' metalizer in grey. When the pros did it with the flat black it came out nice. I would probably go about 5 coats metalizer (obviously black it out properly first) and all in all will probably end up with a good looking set of wheels.

 

[Eric Smit]

I'd like to see the results.

[rdss]

You will. I promise.

 

[Eric Smit]

Woohoo! And I'll show the results of whenever I decide to pull the trigger on spacers. : P

[rdss]

I might be interested in a small spacer (3mm) that doesn't need new studs on the future.

 

[Eric Smit]

I'm going for half inch.

[rdss]

That's gonna cost a pretty penny! I would probably consider a conversion to a normal lug pattern I went that route.

 

[Eric Smit]

I wanna keep the stock rims, and it looks like I can get 4 spacers for about 200 bucks.

The deed is done. I went with 225/45/17 Continental DWS's. they fit great and I was worried about them being to wide for the factory 6.5" wide LTZ wheel but even the manager of Discount was surprised how well they fit. Here are the pics.

 

[Eric Smit]

neat! haha.

[ThatTmoGuy]

they look great! now take the stockers and plastidip them with every color they make!

 

[rdss]

Thanks! I'm happy so fr, they are a little louder than the 195's but I expected that and they are still brand new.

I could plastidip them pink and sell them to Eric.... He would live them!!

 

[Eric Smit]

I would not. ;P If they were 16s I'd be all over them, pink or not. ;P

[dblackston]

Lookin good! The 17's are great looking stock wheels for sure.

 

[rdss]

Thanks and I agree, I got a great deal on them. I spent more than I wanted on the tires though but I really didn't want to go with a cheap tire.

It's all worth it when you go for a drive.

I picked them up here from JAVO for 250.
