I got these 17x8 giovanna gionelles of craigslist at a good price. They had some curb rash and scratches on them and were silver when I got them. I sanded out the damage and sprayed them graphite gray. I put 245/45 and 255/50's on them. They are BMW bolt pattern and I am using 1.25" adapters. The car will be getting a color change soon, a shade of silver or light gray. It was origianally gunmetal.

 

Ah not bad looking. Car needs to come down from 4x4 status though

 

Agreed^^^ you have some "gap" my friend. get you some sportlines and that thing will be looking great!!! not that it isnt already. Good looking car. what size tires are those?

 

Fronts are 245/45/17 rears are 255/50/17. I have been considering lowering it. But paint is next on the list.

 

Monster truck! I would lower it before I even drove it around.

Wheels do look pretty good though. Nice and clean.

 

I was croutched down when I took the pics. Thats why it looks so high. It's way better in person. It sets at stock hight and it also has v6 front springs.

 

Wow I expected the fugly when I saw Giovanna. Then I saw the wheel and saw there is no lip, no backspacing at all. I was really expecting the ugly. Camaro with civic wheels - gross.

Then I saw the pic of it on the car, and I gotta say I was VERY impressed. You need to lower the car with the bigger wheels, but I think you know that. Looks great dude! I stil lwish it was a deeper wheel ,but it looks good. I love the color too. That's my favorite wheel color, looks great on any color car if you ask me.

 

I just got these today off craigslist from a guy about 5 miles from me. 1 3/4" drop Ksports. He only put 50 miles or so on them. I gave him $100. Half the price of new.

 

great looking car, im suprised how good those import rims look on a thirdgen, you said their off a bmw?

 

Yes BMW .65mm difference in bolt pattern. They bolt right on no problem.

 

You guys ragged on him so hard he put off the paint job for drop springs lol looks good im considering using gunmetal rims and i think this made me make up my mind thanks

 

Not holding off on the paint, it will happen soon. I already have the paint, titanium silver pearl. Here are some pics with the Ksports installed.


And here is a paint spray out card of the new color.
