Dr Jkel's Transformation

[Dr Jkel]

OK boys and girls, I have the photo shop of the wheels that are completely chrome. So let the debate begin. I really like both of them.

[Darth_Emma]

I like both too. I think if I was forced to make a decision, I'd go with the all chrome. Either way, they will look amazing on your car.

[Dr Jkel]

I guess I am a real redneck because I definitly like chrome. I will look at these for awhile and decide but it's good to get others thought as well. They do look sharp on the car.

I will be putting 315's on the back, but still need to think about either going with 10.5 or 11's. No price difference just need to learn more about that 1/2" and see if it really matters on wheels this size.

The 22's definitly look better than the 20's.

I think with the spoiler, wider wheels, a little lower stance that it will look just right.

[Darth_Emma]

I went with the 11's and the 315's. They fit fine. You might have to use some sort of clamp to hold the ebrake line out of the way if your TPMS sensor stems touch the ebrake. That's what my shop did. The 315 look GREAT on the 11's.

Terri,

I am really impressed and appreciative of your knowledge and help. I would have never thought about the e-brake lines. I didn't even realize that the valve stem was on the backside of the wheel.

Do you know if PQ had the same issue with the brake lines, because I think he went with 10.5's.

[Darth_Emma]

He did indeed. He used zip ties to hold back the ebrake line. It all depends on how long the stems from the TPMS sensors are and what angle they stick out of the wheel. Some don't have an issue, some do. It's not a big deal and easy to fix. It's so worth it to have the 315s in the back.

My vote is the chrome.

OK good to know, one more question just to make sure.

I have the same suspension you have sways, lowering springs, and trailing arms and will be going with the same diameter wheels and tires as you, so have you had any issues rubbing when you put the 22's on.

None. Nine Ball did a great job making sure I got tires and wheels of the right size and offset. I have the 22 x 11 in the back with 315's. No issues with rubbing. The only thing was the tpms stem touching the ebrake line in the back which I mentioned before.

[Dr Jkel]

Do you happen to know what off set that you have?

[Darth_Emma]

You'd have to ask Nine Ball. He took care of all that for me. I guess Savini would know too.

Yup. I zip tied mine back. It was hitting when I took a real hard corner real fast.

Not sure how the GM ones will do.

Ok. Did you see the other page with both chrome and painted?
