Got my 19" Staggered Gravana wheels on!!!

Motivated · 09-19-2008, 11:45 AM

I've had the car almost 3 weeks now and I haven't even put rims on it yet! So last week I finally found a set I liked from Gravana and ordered them, luckily they were on sale!!! Went staggered with a 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear. Decided on the Bridgestone RE050A Run Flat tire mainly because the car doesn't have a spare lol. The tires are 245/40R19 up front and 275/35R19 in the rear. I could have gone wider on both ends, but them I'm over stretching those rims and the tires look goofy when they start to roll over on wide rims like that. Yes the car is lowered also.

Wow! I ordered a set too. They just showed up today. Now I really can't wait to get them on. I went with the silver 19's to go on my Techno Gray car. Great pics man! They do the rims and the car so much more justice than what is on the website. Thanks for posting those great shots. By the way, what springs are you running? I have Kappasphere/Eibach on mine and am very happy with the results. Great looks and no real difference in ride. I'm gonna have to trim the plastic lip underneath though. Thanks again!

Motivated · 09-19-2008, 12:52 PM

No need for plastic lip trimming on mine. I also have the Eibach PRO kit, not the lower sportline. I still like my car to handle, not just sit on the ground lol.

SKYLORD · 09-19-2008, 12:54 PM

very NIICE! ! ! how much. . . lol

MaverickFlash · 09-19-2008, 01:19 PM

Be sure and post up pics! Id like to see that combo

Nice looking setup Motivated

Those are bad boys that really look bad a$$ on your ride. Nice choice!

BSRL · 09-19-2008, 02:57 PM

Nice set up. I like the black rims on a black car. Looks great!

bun1t · 09-19-2008, 03:02 PM

Damn those look good! I ordered the same wheels for my Yellow Sky. How much did the tires run? Do you think the the rear wheels would poke out much if I were to get 265's? It looks like the 275's might hang out a bit but its hard to tell.

Motivated · 09-19-2008, 03:45 PM

Nah the 275s don't hang out at all. For all four tires shipped it would be right around $1,600.

I don't know what is up with mine. As for as I know the Kappasphere springs are not the lower Sportline set, but this thing is slammed. The little plastic scoop under the front end is literally not an inch off the ground. Just driving on a typical crowned street around here causes scrapage. I will be interested to see how the new wheel and tire setup works out on mine.

Agreed. I generally don't dig on black wheels but they look sick on a black car. Color coordination is a good thing.

Polar Wind · 09-19-2008, 06:27 PM

Dude outstanding!! Sometimes you can get a rim and car color that really pops...you got it

The two tone with black and chrome on black paint is ballin'

Jaysmith2000 · 09-19-2008, 06:35 PM

I have the identical setup and love it. I went with the Falken tires though (like to live dangerously I guess....

)

Oh yeah my car scrapes that part all over the place. So what? It's a low car. Ever seen a lowered C5 Vette?

Darkwing · 09-19-2008, 07:53 PM

Looks good! Thanks, I now know how black rims would look on mine.
