My new wheels
Here a few shots of a set of wheels that are going on the ride. They are HP Racing Evo rims 19x9.5 rear and 19x8.5 front both with 38mm offset. The tires will be 265/35 19 rear and 235/40 19 front. I bought them from my bro who had them on his E46 323i. I will be using 1.5" spacers front and back. Not bad for $300

Re: My new wheels
A little to Euro for me. Also the Rear Spoiler. But I guess to each their own.

Re: My new wheels
I like the HPs better than the ADRs.
Good thing you saved $ on the wheels. The 19" tires are gonna eat your wallet!

Re: My new wheels
It's already lowered about 2" all around. I'm worried that my tire selection is going to rub. I decided not to go with the 265/35 19 rear because it's such a rare tire size. I'm going with 275/35 19 rear and 245/40 19 front.

Re: My new wheels
Here's an update. The 1.5" spacers came in yesterday and got them installed. I got the tires installed and mounted them on the car. I will have to roll the rear lip for extra clearance but I couldn't be more happier with the way they turned out. I'm making custom polished aluminum center caps. Time to update my sig

Re: My new wheels
Did you run spacers on the rear? Seeing how deep the dish looks, I'd be surprised if you needed them.
Even the fronts look borderline, depending on how thick the center hub is.

Re: My new wheels
I ran 1.5" spacers all around. The wheels have a 1.5" positive offset(38mm)The front wheels are exactly even with the inside lip of the fender and rears are the same but the rear fender lip has to be rolled because there is about 1/4" clearance between the tire and lip and I only have a 1/4 tank of gas in it. There will be less clearance with a full tank and me in the car not to mention if I pick up any blonde hitchikers with big ti.....you get the idea.

Re: My new wheels
Love the deep dishes.
Put in a 4th gen rear end & you'd get bigger brakes (which you'll want in a 19" wheel), better limited slip/posi unit, and you should be able to ditch the rear spacers & have the wheels end up in the exact same spot!
Oh...You take the blondes....I'll take the black hair or redheads.

Re: My new wheels
Those wheels look Sweet! love the dished look, I was looking to go a similar path with my car, but the only ones I saw that I lilked was the BOZE wheels, I'll have to recheck some options. For $300, that is excelent! You had to roll the fender in the back, but not the front?? Did I read right?
BTW, I'm not a big fan of most aftermarket wings, but the one you have there is very tastefull. All around, the car looks great, nice combo of parts!

Re: My new wheels
Here is the final product. I made some center caps out of aluminum and polished the crap out of them. Enjoy!

Re: My new wheels
Im an ADR fan myself...I like they way they show off the brakes. That way once the CTS-V brakes are installed they stand out. Im not too sure about the rear visor or the spoiler but to each his own. Nicer than most camaros I see.

Re: My new wheels
I love your car... but Im not a huge fan of the EVOs... I think the ADR's looked better.
Still a good looking ride though, I'm sure you'll continue to turn even more heads with it.
I especially love those headlight covers. Didn't you make custom covers for people for a while? Do you still do that?

Re: My new wheels
I did a thread about never really seeing some eye catching rims i like on our 3rd gens. But these are the first. Nice look! Whats even more strange is that i came across some very similiar rims in my new issue of Camaro Performers mag and wondered how they would look on my RoC? Now i know.

Re: My new wheels
I'm not sure how much they cost brand new but one thing for sure is that these wheels are HEAVY compared to the centerlines I had on before. The centerlines weighed in at 47lbs each with the tire. The EVO's weigh in at 61lbs each with tire for the rear and 59lbs each with tire for fronts. I added 52 total lbs more unsprung weight with these wheels.
