Do the GTR wheels feel any different than oem wheels or no different?

Nice ride

ODB! Nice copper man.....

 

[myl168]

i didn't have my oems on long, and i had 22's before the gtr's.. it's definitely a better ride than the 22's. easier to brake also. I'm glad i was able to get gtr wheels. feels more nimble.

Nice Wheel +1

thanks guys. i'd recommend 30-35mm spacers in the front if you guys get GTR wheels. match the offset of the rears a bit more.

30-35? Sounds kinda meaty =) maybe 25mm with the 9.5's? What are you running myl?

I have 25mm's in the front. it's just that the rear's stick out a bit more.

no problem's so far. it's my daily driver. the gtr wheels are great. everyone that has complemented them thinks that they are the oem's, but powdercoated.

 

[Chubac]

What tire size did you get? 265/50/20?

 

[myl168]

the fronts are 265/50/20 and the rears are 295/45/20.. Staggered setup with gtr wheels.

 

[4myfreedom]

How would I powder coat oem wheels or blacken them??

 

[DaveButcher]

The OEM wheels have a center cap that is plastic and cannot be Powdercoated. I would just get them wet painted.

 

[la_fx35]

Power coat can only be done at shop only. If you wanted to DIY your wheel, Rustoleum Wheel paint comes out really good. A couple members on here did it themselves and turns out great.

 

[GetLuckiFX]

^ Exactly, wether go with a pro shop or tackle the paint job yourself if you're comfortable with doing it. Just take time prepping the wheels and don't rush the paint job. Plan on a weekend project

This color don't exist on 2012 FX

 

[myl168]

sorry guys. for what ever reason i wasn't subscribed to my own garage. :bulgy-eyes:

Thanks! I love the color also. I've been going back and forth on wrapping it, but the liquid copper color is hard to cover up. I originally didn't like it, until i saw it in person.
