Default Gettins come off for the last time, on go the replacements. (56k No)

Well the time has come for change. I never thought this day would come. I always thought these would be the wheels I would keep until I sold the car. Well the day has come to go in a different direction so the Gettins came off today and I just wanted to share with you my last moments (can you guys tell I'm attacthed? ) Yes call me a loser but I wanted to take pics of them coming off for the last time..

Well here is the Jack ready to start..

Here she is getting lifted..

Here I have taken off the 1st, no going back now ( well technically I could but lets make it sound more dramatic by saying I can't)

Here is one of the fronts off..

And here is the last wheel. This was such a sad moment. The last wheel, its like the end of an era, well maybe not that big of a deal but its sounds better..

So what could possibly replace the Gettins you ask? It wasn't your conventional new set of 20's as everyone would think. No, I am taking this car in a whole different direction...

As Gold Member used to say....."I Love Goldddd!!!!!!!!!!"

Even your floor jack is blue... someone is obsessed, lol. Surprised you didn't go with the blue Rotora's.

That blue with bronze is funky... very different for sure.

Did you cry, there's no crying in wheel swaps! As for the new look, I needed my Oakleys just to view the pics, good luck with drifting.

ah yes..smaller wheels with beefier looking tires. I'm a big fan of those

The blue/gold combo makes it look like a subaru WRX

Reminds me of a Subaru now. Can't say I like where this is going. Your car looked amazing with the 20's. Although I bet it performs much better now without all that weight.
