Garrett Powered Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 mask the lip and shoot them black and those would be $$$. silver makes them look like a 92 GP or something, still look good and nice choice! how wide are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought black would be more of a match for the interior. I have been thinking about getting some but only if they are 8 inch wide like those would be perfect. where do you get themfrom?

AWeb80 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 looks nice but you need to space the rims out a bit.....o, and 17x9's pwn......a 265-75 tire would be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krenzy Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Jeff, you're doing the right thing: making the TGP the way YOU see it. I respect that. My own opinion is against the rims, but who knows they will probably grow on me with time. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Powered Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have seen that style before somewhere. I think thats as close to the x-lace look you are going to get. jeff m had some chrome ones but this style is much more suitable for a black TGP. I like how its almost x-lace style. matches the car perfect. I am jealous. If I could just pick up the phone right now and give them a part # and order them I probably would. but actually the 17x9 sounds like it would be cool if it didnt rub...

futuretgper Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 wonderful!!!! i applaud you for choosing some wheels that you dont see on every other w-body under the sun...they really make your ride stand out...not that it wont once you open the hood (or throttle)... ok so what wheels are they? did you have to run spacers/adapters to make the wheels fit right?

Ever since i bought my tgp with the 077s ive noticed several other members here have the same rims. I think i have the only tgp with them tho.

He no longer has those rims on the car. Those rims go on the Z34 in the summer. The TGP is back to rocking gold cross laces. FTMFW!

Addicted2bass Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I love the way the 077s look on my car! Although i like the x-laces to....look like they would be a pain in the ass to keep clean tho. The 077s were on the car when i bought it. I dont know what happened to the x-laces....maybe they were sold to someone on here. Or more then likely scrapped. I kinda wish i still had them so if i ever wanted to switch to the OG look i wouldnt have to go searching for replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Powered Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 for me chrome looks better with red than black. I dont even know why yet either. maybe the red needs it to look better. or its flashier...I cant figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Chrome :thumbsdown: I hate chrome... I know I'm odd... the last thing I want on my car is something that screams "I have something to steal" Not to mention, I just find chrome to be gaudy... If I wanted Bling factor I'd be driving something other than a w-body. JUST MY OPINION... its why you will never see a piece of chrome on my car, the closest I will get is the polished lip of a cross lace, and the brushed aluminum pieces I made for my dash.

Why did you mount the turbo soo far ahead....more room? ya its going to be loud, the one horn of the BOV will be directly out the vent on the hood. so boh will be very loud ya just didnt really felll like wraping the headers as they look so good, the turbo is mounted so far up for a coule of reasons more room for the intercooler piping (so it doesnt have to go ontop of the turbo (stays cooler) there is alot of room up front as there is no stock intercooler over there anymore so the filer can be put on with lots of room to spare.
