car looks great Joe! really diggin the wheels; i like how the bronze/gold is muted, goes very well with the GFM. since you had to raise er up a bit, did that help with the vibrations at all?

Hey Ryan,

Actually, it did help. What I did was raise the driver side a 1/2 inch higher than the passenger side to get as level as possible to compensate my 200 lbs when I'm driving. Vibrations at idle are still there, but the wobbling during take off is barely noticeable now. I'm very please about that..but I'm still monitoring it and will keep you posted.

Thanks! These rims were an expensive lesson. I had the chrome brushed off on the faces to leave the nickel finish. But all the wheels started to leak air because the shop who did it messed up the silicone seals when they took the faces off so I had to send them to SO CAL to get resealed, straighted, and the lips re chromed (damaged when taking the tires off). never again!

i've thought about doing that, but i didn't think it would make that big of a difference. lol. since i'm 250, guess i'll have to find a lift kit. do they make those for the 3gs? lol. well, once i get my kit on, i'll be tweeking the suspension anyway. awesome job Joe; she looks freakin sweet :

Telmz, your car looks great! What wheels are those? Any mods to get wheels to fit or rubbing issues? Thanks.

Amazing the difference the wheels do for your setup.

Wow that is one good looking car.... As much as I hate white as a color for cars, some of the sickest I've seen have been white. You've got some nice wheels on there too. Everything compliments eachother well.
