Alright well the title is self explanatory, picked these up yesterday adn threw em on today...

Motegi MR7 Gunmetal with Sonar 215/45/R17's

 

They look really good on your car, BUT you need to drop that car ASAP.

 

drop that bitch!

 

Next project...figured i should get rims before dropping her....although it may be a while before i find the $$ on account of work issues and the fact im putting myself through school...

 

Well I guess you not gonna have prob. getting through big snow drifts then

 

yeah....makes sense...hopefully i wont be encountering any as it is...

 

looks very nice... great wheel choice!

 

Looking good! All you need is a drop.

 

I concur. Once that drop comes into play, you'll be runnin 10s! I'm just messin. The drop will welcome the wheels very nicely.

 

I was thinking of painting the calipers, what colour do you guys recommend? either black or green to match the interior im making...

 

They look good. They will look even better when you paint the calipers and drop that bad boy!

 

what colour should i go?

 

I would go red or black but that's it. Red would look real good. Black will just dress them up.

 

I was thinking green...does anyone/has anyone used green caliper paint before?..if so made by who....havent seen anyone use this colour in the how to thread...

 

Green??? No way dude, go black. BTW, do they make that rim for the SS/SC 5 lug?

 

Motegi MR7s are made for damn near every bolt pattern out there. They are all dual pattern wheels in both 4 and 5 lug designs.

 

Nice dude, very nice. Same style of rims I'm goin with this X-mas. Is that pin stripes I see on the car, or a reflection?

 

pin-stripes..came with car....i didnt mind it.........so i havent taken it off..

 

Why does everybody hate green?...anyway...il try it, if its no good il just paint black over it..

 

Good luck getting it to stick once the orginial coat has dried and hardened to the caliper.

 

green will look bomb dude, esp if your interior will be green. but if you dont go green red stands the most out and looks good. but go for green man

 

NoLeaf,

those rims look awesome, i have liked those ever since they came out. Nice job

 

Personaly I'd say get the big disk brake kit front and rear then paint the calipers and brackets black. Only shinny metal to be seen will be the big drilled rotors. That would look badass, little more expensive than just paintin what ya got but badass none the less

 

Tight man! What matters most is what looks good to you. Red and black is common. The green, if you did it right, could look good. Excellent wheel choice though!

 

Thx, i love these wheels, gunmetal looks sick with the black and dark tinted windows....im gonna go green to be different, everyone has black and red....and im thinking about painting the drums black so..black/green again...if i do a good job it will look good...just need to get the right colour....and duplicolor doesnt make a green so ive got to order it which will take time...hopefully have it doen for the Sept 9th meet
