I finally got rid of those stock hubs on my LS. I upgraded to some 17" BSA 333's in black and chrome and are wrapped in nankang rubber. Just wanted to show it off a bit and see what everyone thinks. I am interested to get some opinions on what color to paint the calipers as weel. I will be taking some better pics today. It was dusk out last night when i took the pics and i could only get a couple where the sun wasnt glaring up the pic. Also I noticed that the car needs to have some new springs to make it lower and look alot better.

 

Looks good now lower it.

 

looks good. i'd think about lowering the car about 2 inches now, look cleaner then

as far as calipers... i like subtle.... paint them black or gray or something neutral. the car is orange, too much bright colour would be distracting.

 

Congratulations on your trophies

 

looks good... lower it and throw some tint on that beast

 

Drop.

 

what size tires are those? They look small but could just be the wheel gap.

 

did u take the side molding off? almost thought it was an ss for a sec. looks good

 

Pork:
Thanks for the compliment.

Brandon97Z:
They are 215/40/17's The wheel gap does make them look significantly smaller

roccobladr:
The side molding was an option in 06 and i opted not to pay around $100 for something i think looks horrible on the car.

Thanks to everyone else for your comments.

 

thats size is still a little smaller. Next time go with some 225-45-17's and it will look much better. Not to mention they will protect the rims better, give a better ride, and hook up better at the track. Would love to see it with some Sportlines.

 

looking good. all you need is a drop now.

 

It came with 195/60/15's and i have to keep relatively the same dimmension so that the speedo isnt off very much I should've gotten 205/45/17's to be as close to stock dimmensions as possible but i opted for the 215/40/17's which are only 1mph off at 60mph. If I went with that big of a tire I would be off around 2mph off at 60mph also the size i have now is a very popular size now and i got them for very cheap. I will take it into consideration tho the next time. I am only using these until the winter and then switching back to the stock rims. Also these are already a little wider than stock and hook up nice. I use to break out very easy at a stop sign now there is no wheel spin. Can't wait to take it to the track and see if it helps my times

 

Anyone know if the dealership will install the new springs? I dont have the tools or the knowhow to do it myself

 

I'm sure they will but expect to pay about $250-$300

its worth it to learn how to DIY

 

yea but for the price of tools to do a job one time is gonna cost quite a bit too
