Decided on Wheels/Tires(Finally...)

[Obsol3te]

So, against what my heart desired by going with a drag radial and wanting to be able to just punch it while in second gear and hook I decided to go with something more practical and would actually last me a while. I will just have to get a dedicated drag wheel setup when the time comes, and that just makes the most sense because of my daily driver.

I went with some 285/35/19 MPSS fronts and 325/30/19 MPSS rears.

As for the wheels themselves, I finally decided on the Project 6GR wheels in a gloss black. They'll be here on Friday so I'll be posting pics when theyre fully mounted. Unsure on the offset but Edgar of N4SM assured me theyd be right at the edge of the fenderwell.
He was able to get the best pricing to my door as close to my budget as possible, so I do suggest ya give him a call. I do appreciate the help from some of the other vendors as well Paul from PK for example. He was also very professional and helped answer a lot of my questions

Here's a couple pre-shipment pics for the time being

EDIT:
Welp! Wheels came in some fancy large boxes. Had to jump right in and do the install...
325 is such a massive fucking tire. That's all I can say.
The weird top down pictures show the tire RIGHT at the edge of the fenderwell so fitment is PERFECT.
Overall i shaved off almost 40lbs of rotational weight over my old setup as well as adding more contact patch.
Not bad!

Those look pretty good, few buddies of mine down here have them have been telling me to look into some new wheels for the car. I'm having a issue getting her to grab off the dig when we run her this whipple is a hell monster to control.

Nice!! I kinda wish I would have gone with the 6grs but in 20" in gloss black instead of my Velgens but oh well. I see you also got a set of black wheels with those gray tpms sensors like me lol. It bothered me enough that I just bought some black caliper paint and painted mine. Nice choice in tires too!

Tell me about it...
I was on the fence about grabbing a drag radial for the street on my daily driver. But I do drive in the rain, and I want them to last more than an oil change.

Yeah, im noticing that too. Maybe I'll tape them off and get handy dandy with some of the wifes nail polish or something.

That valve stem color is horrible. Why would they ever think that grey is acceptable on a black wheel like that. My P6gr wheels came with black TPMS sensor valve stems, so WTF N4SM? Don't do a brotha like that.

nice setup! but my ocd would get the best of me knowing the rear tires are slightly shorter than the front lol

 

[NHEcoboost]

I have the same set coming my way...but with 305/35 rears. Seeing these, I can't wait to get mine. But I'll be sending N4S a message to have black stems, haha.

Your set came with those center caps? I was prepared to use the factory...now I might have a choice!

it's only .2" difference between front and rear

Yeah, those just came out I guess.
There are plenty of options for center caps so Edgar was telling me

Looking more at those stems its starting to bug me. Why would they do that? I'm talking to I believe its Ed right now and I wont take something like that at all.

Those are pretty bad; can't see how any reputable company would miss that?

I would be very unhappy if I paid several thousand $$ for wheels/tires and got those stems.

That's going to take some masking off and careful spraying of some type of rubber applicable paint or plasti-dip to cover.

Beautiful wheels, but what were they thinking with that valve stem???

Damn once you see the stems, it's hard to unsee them but cant go wrong with black 6GR

 

[Paul@PKAUTODESIGN]

Even thought I dont carry the 6gr wheels nor speaking for any other company ill speak for my own company (PKAD). I do know this if I may kindly say and not saying it in a bad way. When we started we only had silver stems as well, we did our best to atleast paint them. Now we have black stems we install for black wheels or dark colored wheels in general.

Quick fix is to touch them up with some paint but not sure how you feel about that. Id say bring it up to them see what they say im sure it may have just been a mistake possibly.

Just my 2 cents
