I think I may have found my new wall paper!

Very nice and clean. The lip on those wheels are sweet. They match very well, like they were made for your vehicle.

How are those Toyo Proxes T1-R's holding up for you?

If you decide to just paint your calipers instead of a BBK. They make a gold caliper paint somewhat similar to the Aztec gold of the Brembos.

The new rims look awesome. I'll have to get used to them on there or I won't recognize your car. I think you'll be happier with center caps so there is complete order with the wheels with nothing unfinished.

The silver calipers don't look bad. I wouldn't do a faux Brembo though. Look for someone selling their OEM Brembos.

Looking forward to seeing it in person on April 1st.

So what's the next mod?

Thanks, Matt! Gotta keep in step wit your Laser Red machine. I think we ended up pretty close in tires/wheels... I think you're a bit more aggressive than me.. both look good though!

I just got back from RZ Motoring in Tampa where I had my rear fenderwells sheared for clearance. Antonio did a great job... nice to be able to drive it hard again without worrying about scraping.

Thanks, Chuck! That means a lot coming from you.

We've both got a lot of new stuff... life is good! I keep hoping that something will change and that you'll be able to come to the April Lakeland meet. I want to see your car, too.

Thanks, Marshall2K.

The Toyo Proxes are holding up fine... I've only had them for about a day. They sure are quieter than my Bridgestone OEM 19" tires.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do for a BBK. The brakes are way more noticeable with these wheels though. Good tip on the paint, thanks!

Thanks. Funny... I've been thinking about taking the molding off... I dunno... I keep changing my mind.

Thanks, Winston!

I kind of like it without the caps, but, I agree... I think I'll like them better with the caps.

It's funny, but I don't recognize it myself. I think the offset of the wheels make it look almost as different as the wheels themselves. I agree on the centercaps.

I will either buy a set of used Brembos or buy a complete BBK. I'm probably leaning towards the BBK. I've been researching them for a while... still thinking.

I'm looking forward to seeing your "new" G, too! I might hit you up for a ride if you aren't too tired from giving everyone rides. I've never ridden in a supercharged car in my life. Lakeland should be fun!

Thanks, Dan... The wheels sure do make it look different.

Thanks, Jose!

I ended going with a more aggressive offset than I first planned, but I like the way it came out.

Haven't heard much from you lately. Hope all is well with you.

Wow! It's amazing how a nice set of wheels can really transform the G. Excellent choice and I concur with Sean.......you should go w/centercaps......and that 14-piston BBK of course.

So the saga of JB's rims finally comes to a happy ending. Congratulations, they look great. Do you notice much difference on the ride besides them being more quiet?
