Got new wheels... Again!

[sleepyalero]

Well the bbs wheels sold, and i found a great replacement. Just need wheel adapters for these... Got em for a steal. Tell me what you think!

[Redog]

I lilke them, they look like the Pegs in the Volvo community :D

[sleepyalero]

Haha well atleast you like them, :)

[S8track16]

I really like bronze rims, especially on the subaru blue color, black is nice as well.

[tw0123]

You already know my opinion on them ;)

Have you decided what you're going with for the adaptors?

[sleepyalero]

Adapters i have not thought of yet....

But thanks all for the positive remarks. This just makes me want the car to be back on the road more and more, cant wait to see these on the car... Already have tires on stand by for them too. Haha

[03glgold]

They arent bad, but your bbs wheels looked about 10 times better imho. Your car, your choice though.

[sleepyalero]

Fair enough. Ive always liked 5 spoke wheels, and im curious how a bronze wheel on a black car will look.


Also the BBS wheels weighed in at 25.9 lbs a wheel without a tire. In an 18x8 wheel.


The TSW's, well they are 18x8 and weigh 19 lbs a wheel... Much better number.


Basically wanted to get a lighter wheel.

[03glgold]

I like 5 spokes too, but dont see aleros as a car that goes well with them. Especially if you are doing any racing I fully get the weight aspect.

[Papa Rad17]

When I finally get rims they will be 5 spoke, fits the alero very nicely. I will withhold any further comments until I see them on the car. Let us know on what you think of the quality of those TSW's. They are what I've been looking at as well.

[strtrydr]

I think those will look good on your car. IMO, bronze wheels only look good on three colors: White, Blue, and Black.

[sleepyalero]

I agree strydr. and good to see you here! Very rare you come around. Nice to see the older fellas who had the nice builds back in the day still stop by frequently. :)


Also, yeah i do some racing. 26 lb wheels are just a little rediculous on a car thats built/being built for speed. I think i made the right choice though. I have been very curious to see how bronze on black will look with the alero, i am quite excited to be honest.

[strtrydr]

I still browse the forums almost daily but I don't post that much. Never really been much for posting/replying unless I have something worthwhile to contribute.

I got MY first real start modding vehicles once I was a member on here when it was on the old forums (my old account was lost during migration. )

You're right though, there had been some nice builds happen on here. I have also made a couple good friends through here.

[sleepyalero]

Yeah i wish i was around sooner to see all the nice builds. :( now i can only reminisce on pics from the past, of cars sold, destroyed, or parted out at todays date. Or sold and havent been seen since. Very sad. :(

[Papa Rad17]

You're right though, there had been some nice builds happen on here. I have also made a couple good friends through here.

Indeed! on a side note- as soon as things warm up I still plan on coming to get the suspension. I feel like I'm driving a squeaky boat right now :cry:

[tw0123]

What suspension are you getting papa?

[Nas Escobar]

Those look nice! I've contemplated them for my Cutlass for a long long time. Just too pricey for me.

[strtrydr]

No big deal man ... it's all just chilling in storage.

[Papa Rad17]

What suspension are you getting papa?

Intrax springs with GR-2 struts.

[sleepyalero]

Those look nice! I've contemplated them for my Cutlass for a long long time. Just too pricey for me.

I found one set on ebay at 599 for the set. Others want 1200$

I got the 599 set. Lol

[tw0123]

Sweet papa!

And Nate hurry up with the pics would Ya?

[sleepyalero]

Wheels arent in yet!

[JLw7123]

Going to look good sleepy. Your alero is a show car.

[sleepyalero]

Hahaha idk about that..... I mean she looks good, but shes not the trailer queen type. ;)

[fisdad]

Pics or it didn't happen! Lol

[Oldsnut]

You change your wheels about as much as Oldsman changes his Depends. ;)

[strtrydr]

You change your wheels about as much as Oldsman changes his Depends. ;)

Rotflmao

[tw0123]

I think that is almost sleepy sig worthy isn't it Andy? Lmao

[sleepyalero]

Hahaha omg, ill be changing my sig later with that quote. :) :lol:

[sleepyalero]

My phone dillutes the bronze color a bit, its more bronzish in person.

[sleepyalero]

Only test fitting on daily to make sure bolt pattern on all wheels were correct, plan on getting tires put on tomorrow just making sure they fit.

[Oldsnut]

Those would look good on my Lt Bronzemist Aurora. How much did those run ya?

[sleepyalero]

Well, all over ebay they are about 1150 a set. I found one guy selling these at 599.25$ free shipping! Frickin steal!

[S8track16]

What's the offset on these?

[sleepyalero]

35mm

[Papa Rad17]

I know thats just your beater alero but... it has dirt. I'm going to have a stroke! those look good!

[sleepyalero]

Yup its dirty. Lol

And glad you like em!

[Nas Escobar]

I feel it needs more concave but still looks nice. Can't wait for official pics.... on your higher mileage ho:p

[sleepyalero]

Im not to worried about the concave really. But they will look great.

And don't forget, better looking ho too!

[sleepyalero]

[sleepyalero]

[S8track16]

I don't really like the light blue, When are you going to put them on your other car.

[sleepyalero]

Well, some people know im a sucker for light blue. Its my favorite color. Lol i think it would clash great with the bronze.

Umm, well car is still ripped apart. So its gonna be a bit, maybe spring time.


I just ordered hub centric rings yesterday for the wheels.

[sleepyalero]

Now im thinking black or bronze lugs. Dont worry about the blue.

[Nas Escobar]

I'd try to find Bronze lugs... or at least dark silver.

[tw0123]

Lol i was gonna say the blue would clash horribly with the citrus brake calipers!

I'm thinking either some black or maybe one of the bronze/purple/gold iridescent for a bit of flash...

[sleepyalero]

Well if i got blue lugs the brakes would go back to blue, but i think im just gonna do black lugs,


Then leads me to the center caps, they are silver.... Dont know why TSW thought silver center caps would be good with bronze.

[Oldsnut]

I would color match the centers if it were me. Silver, WTF were they thinking.

[sleepyalero]

I was thinking color match or black.

[tw0123]

Just have a 3D domed olds logo made to go over the silver cap! Problem solved

[sleepyalero]

Thats a possibility too.

[sleepyalero]

Lugs and hub rings on the way.

[S8track16]

What color did you pick^ Black I'm assuming.

[sleepyalero]

Yup lol

[Papa Rad17]

Black lugs, Black centers

[sleepyalero]

Im doing black lugs, working on center cap details

[sleepyalero]

[tw0123]

Get it fixed!

[sleepyalero]

Working on it

[03glgold]

I will say they look a lot better than I expected.

[sleepyalero]

Thanks!

[Papa Rad17]

I like, a lot actually.

[strtrydr]

Looks good sleepy!

[sleepyalero]

Thanks!

[fisdad]

Get it fixed!

He doesn't know how. Plus he keeps spending his part money on guns, wheels, headers, lug nuts, caliper paint ect... That's no way to get a transmission fixed.

[sleepyalero]

bahahhaah shut up ryan!

[tw0123]

Bwahahaha....

[fisdad]

bahahhaah shut up ryan!

Not my fault you can't prioritize! You're like a squirrel chasing a nut on a golf course.

[Papa Rad17]

not necessarily bad things to blow money on, but I expect that alero at the show this summer!

[fisdad]

We'll see if Sleepy and I both have driving Alero's for Homecoming this year... I'm at Milzy's mercy and nate can't stop wasting all of his money on other stuff.

[tw0123]

I'd be all over Milzy... you're paying him for the job... give him a deadline or take the car somewhere else... there's no excuse as far as I'm concerned

[03glgold]

I learned a long time ago to never tell a business to get something done when they have time because it will always be on the back burner.

[sleepyalero]

Pretty much, theres also some things to the car not being done, but its not my business to speak about it, but the car will get done.


My next step is transmission for my car, 2 weeks or less and ill have that.
