Hi,

Since all the old Wheel Pics are sadly gone it would be cool if some of you could post some Pics of your rides with the Gbodyparts Alu Wheels installed.

I currently consider these myself, thinking 15x7 Front and 15x8 in the Rear would look nice with Stock Tires or 235/60/15 on the Fronts and 235/60/15 or max. 245/60/15 in the Back for a stock appearing look.

Thanks !
 
Not installed yet, but these things are pure art. Can’t wait to get them on. I got the 15x7, 15x10.

Thank you for the Pics :) I simply love those Wheels and the Idea of a Lightweight Stock Replacement. I have 2 more questions:

- Is there a 'seat of pants' difference in how the car performs and handles with those ?
- Would you rather keep the finish as they come out of the Box or get them polished to a like chrome finish (I would consider it) ?
 
I have the 15x7 & 15x10 combo like Squid4Life.
I have my tires mounted up on them, but not on the car yet (currently on jack stands and under a resto/update).
I did test fit the rears to make sure that the 15x10 with MT 275/60-15 Drag Radials fit. (Mine did fit well)
I have a couple of pictures here that may help you.
I've had EXCELLENT dealings with Brian Weaver and the GBodyParts Team, highly recommended!!!

ENJOY!

15x10 on left, 15x7 on right.

Like others have said they are very nice rims and lightweight. To answer your questions, I noticed a little bit of a seat of the pants difference. The car definitely felt a little more spry. As far as polishing them, you would probably have to have it done by a pro. I like a more shiny, chrome look too and tried polishing mine but theyhave these very tiny ridges. It would probably be a lot of work to get them smoothed out. I tried todo it myself but it didn’t really do much and I didn’t want to mess them up. With that being said, they are beautiful rims and are very nice. I also really like that they come with the center caps and mount really well. Brian did a great job with these and you can’t go wrong for the price. I will try and post a pic when I get a chance.
 
Thanks to everyone who posted Pics of their Wheels and Tips so far. :cool: Nice Cars btw.

@2112: Thank you for the Infos. I think to finally decide on the Satin vs. Polished finish I have to see them in Person first. I couldn't find any Post or Pics about them with a polished finish. There are some Companys arount here which polish Aluminum Wheels professionally, but I must inquire the cost per Wheel.

@Heskahoka: Can you please give me more Infos on your Wheel/Tire/Suspension Setup ? You are running 7inchers in the front and 8inchers in the rear ? Which Tiresizes are mounted on them ? How many Inches is your GN lowered Front/Rear ?

Hi Elrond.
At the time of the picture, 2 front wheels were 15x7 and BF Goodrich Radials 21565R15. 2 rear were 15x8 25560R15s.
No lowering, suspension was stock with Bilstein shocks all around.
Since then, I have upgraded the tires and suspension in the rear. 27560R15 Drag radials on the same 15x8 wheel in the rear. H&R Rear Sway bar, Baseline suspension control arms, QA1 front and rear shocks.
 
@ Boston GN: Are those 255s in the Rear ? Nice Ride.. :cool:

@ Heskahoka: Thank you ! :) It really looked like your GN is slightly lowered ;)
