Awww missin the teal, but the new setup is clean.

Teasers are brutal. Looking forward to the next show!

... You had to say it! I am really going to miss the old set-up. I loved it. Some people will prefer the new set-up, many others will not. I realize that... I received many PM's about the Advans, and not just from people interested in buying them, but from people telling me that I was crazy to sell them. But it won't be too long before you see another member posting pictures of his G with a set of flat black RS-D's...


Thanks, Mike. I'm trying to be patient as I wait for the new parts...


I know you liked the teal. Honestly, it was really growing on me, too. It was a last-minute/game-time decision to powdercoat them. But I am very happy with the end result.

And I apologize for the teasers. I don't even have the car in my possession. The picture with the wheel "mounted" was sent to me via text message... I will do my best to get some quality pictures soon.

I liked the teal color too. Kinda wished I PC.ed My caliper to that color as what I originally planned LOL

I have a few pictures of the teal Project Mu's with the Advans, but I only have one very poor quality phone picture of the TE's mounted with the teal hats before powdercoating. It was taken during a test-fit. (If you want, PM me your phone number/e-mail address and I can forward it to you if you care to check it out. The quality is so poor, it's not even worth uploading here.)

I was debating doing the complete PMu BBK in the original teal, but I went this route because I thought it would complement the theme of my car (red GT Spec bracing, seats, steering wheel, hub, shift boots, etc...). With the fabrication needed to pull off these brakes and the custom parts, we didn't even realize that the hats were going to come in teal. I just assumed that they would be black. However, once they came and I saw the teal, they really grew on me... And, honestly, the pictures never really did them justice. They were really sharp-looking. But, ultimately, I opted for the cleaner look of the black hats.

Still looks great man.. The SL version of the TEs are so nice looking in person.. Pics don't truely capture the finish. I saw them first hand on the ARK Genesis. I wanted to take them for myself. Lol. Can't wait to see final pics, don't make us wait too long.

Thanks, dude.

I have had these for a couple months. They were just sitting in the corner of my shop waiting for me. I had viewed quite a few images of these wheels, including pictures of my own that were sent to me. However, I just saw them in person for the first time last week and that is EXACTLY what I said. The finish is beautiful.

And, yes, I will work on getting some good pictures up soon...

Bump!!! Any updates?? Haha. Curious to see what offset you are running? +22 all around?

^^seriously!

It's coming along... We had to raise the car up a little bit until I have some camber arms installed and an alignment is done. I'm waiting for the parts to arrive. It will be in the shop next week getting the suspension tuned.

The only pictures I have now are with the car at a height about which I am not particularly psyched. So, once I have the suspension tweaked a bit and the alignment done, I will post some good pictures...

what tires size's you're running?

That's one place where I think I'd like to make a change... One of the main reasons for going from a 20" to a 19" wheel is for the bigger sidewall. So, I'm now running a 255/40/19 in the front and a 275/35/19 rear.

Even if I had gone with a 245/40/19 front and 265/35/19 rear, I would still have a bigger sidewall than my previous 20" set-up. I don't think it will be as big of an issue once I get my alignment and camber squared away... We'll see.

let me know how that goes. my new wheels has similar widths, offsets and i'm planning on running 275-35 and 245-35. trying to go for an aggressive offsets without stretching the tires.

(seeing how Japan is right now idk if my wheels will make it here)

Sweet. Sounds good. Can't wait to see that type of of offset and tire size on a g.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I didn't want to stretch, but I still want my semi-aggressive drop. It takes some work. I'm anxious to see what I'll need to do to obtain the look I want...

Tell me about it... I am in week five, I think, of a fourteen week wait for some parts. I can only imagine the additional delay that will ensue now.
