Finally got a chance to get the car out of the garage today to get some pictures of the new Intro Wheels. And WOW...does it look different outside

It really looks GREAT! I like that you took the pics in the same area as some of your old ones. That baby is slammed.... You need plates that say TUCKIN' !!!
I know everyone is gonna ask... What are the specs on the wheels and what size tires?
thanks guys, it's kinda hard to get used to how it looks.....sooooo much different than anu other wheel I've had on the car. The wheels are:
Front: 19X8, backspacing of 4.75, P245/35/19
Rear: 20X10, backspacing of 5.75, P275/35/20
Like I said....these are not a direct bolt on. I had to do some metal work on the rear inner quarters and lips in order for these to clear within millimeters....just enough so they will tuck under the car when all of the air psi is out.
I'll get back to ya on the hood light man, glad to hear you got an SS hood
Man Shawn, those look killer. I gotta ask how do the 20's handle on less than perfect roads though, with the air ride system? Do you really like the air ride kit? I was thinking about putting the new Cool Ride on my car but couldn't swing the price at the time, maybe sometime down the road after I get what I want done with the car mechanically first.

Dam thats sexy Shawn, now I hate you even more....hahaha. I love how she sits with those rims, I bet you can't STOP staring at her. I know I couldn't, now we need to see some videos with the bags & rims in motion . Im so in love with the new look of her, awsome job. So whats next on the list for her?
You got it right...I think these wheels look way better than the 18/20 irocs. I think part of it is the 19/20 instead of the 18/20. I love the air ride. I will be looking to get some type of air ride on my car in the near future. How do you like it? Keep up the good work!

thanks guys, it's def. hard to get used to the new look! As for the air ride....I love it. Expensive....yes, but well worth it. Everything is 100% hidden....you can't even tell the car has an air ride setup by just looking at it. I wish it did pump up a little faster. I've only got one compressor and one 3 gallon tank, but that's about all the room there is for the system.
Here is kind of a crazy picture..showing how high the rear can go...
Shoot, having that air ride system sure would be nice when you're going oil changes. I have to drive the car up on 2x4's just to get a jack under the car.

I think what would complete your car, is if it were sitting in my garage...lmao. Looking good. How high does the front go?

car looks amazing!! What type of metal work did you have to do? I'm in the process of changing to some 20x10 in the rear. Is it extensive work of slightly modifying a couple things?

I was asking what kind of work has to be done to the inner wheel well. My fender lips have already been rolled and smoothed out. Is it something a shop has to do or can it be done in the garage, cut metal out or add metal??
Looks decent. Thought it would look different but I guess thats the bags dropped all the way down? Not 100% with what you did but it's your car so it's all good. I will admit that the car itself is f*cking badass though dude!
thanks guys, as far as the inners....I just took a 2lb sledge and shaped the inner....probably 1/4" up....you don't see it at all. The tires do rubber the bottom of the iiner quarter.....not enough to damage the rubber while sitting though.

they look big on that car when its slammed like that...
I'll have to agree.. I bet it looks much better at ride height then it does sitting slammed. The rims look proportionally too large for the car when its sitting soo low, looks like a DUB hot wheels you see on the shelves in walmart.
With that being said I think the rim style looks excellent for your car... a definate improvement over the irocs and tt2's.

Wow...that looks amazing! Looks unreal man...like one of those hot wheels with large *** wheels.
What would be cool is if you could drive around 'slammed' like that.
Do you have any pictures of what it looks like at 'driving height'?
