6Syxx6 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Did the Steeda lowering springs, added the Steeda strut tower bar and wow what a difference. The car handles great with the stock 18's and handles just as good if not better on my 20's. However, I went the "looks" route with the rims. My oh my these are a heavy wheel combo!!! At least 12lbs heavier than stock... The wheels are 20x8.5 "Hipnotic C-Notes". I had the removable inserts (40pcs) painted to match my Sport (White Platinum). I have them wrapped in the newest tire available from Nitto called the "Motivo" (245/35R20). Awesome tires...they are an all season tire with a 60k treadlife warranty. A quiet ride with plenty of grip. I live in Florida so the roads here are hot as f@*k or wet as f@*k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusion0389 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 This set up looks completely unique, although I probably wouldnt change my wheels i gotta say that those rims look cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6Syxx6 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Here are some shots before I started the makeover. In these shots you will see how my rims looked when the arrived from Hipnotic and the tires premounted. Just gives you a better perspective. I bought all new TPMS sensors for these wheels as well. They are very pricey but I wanted it done right. Plus, now I have two sets of wheels to run without worry of a code popping up. I am toying with the idea of throwing some street/drag radials on the stock front rims. Just to see what 1/4 mile times this can get. I know it isn't a racecar but it would take away the guessing what it runs. I want the CAI/Tuner first...

BlackBetty Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Looks great! The wheels are pretty different and although I wouldn't put them on my car they still look awesome! Keep it up! Do you have any other plans for the Sport? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhazher83 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hello awesome car btw! 1 question about the wheels, what offset are they? Mine are a 39 offset and the overall diameter is 26.7" tires and I was wondering if u had 2 use spacers or if the offset on those wheels took care of the clearance issues. Point being that w my offset and 245 40 zr19's "they" say they won't fit on my car, but if ur wheels fit with a 26.77 diameter then mine should? Being that the offset is the same that is. Thanks for ur time no response is understandable due 2 the old thread I'm on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzkill657 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 That car is flat out sick! I wanted a white fusion so bad but didn't. Looks good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
