Lookie at what the nice UPS man brought me!
Monday, July 18, 2005 7:21 AM


And it's about time! lol I ordered these rims (19" Alba Banks) on April 22nd so needless to say I had a long wait. They have been in 3 different countries in the last month haha They took so long because they had to be shaved and drilled out for my offset. But I totally love them, I can't believe how big and blingy they are!

I have to wait til later this afternoon to install them. I apologize for the bad picture! I am no photographer!

I have to wait til my brother gets up to jack up my car cause I can't...fear of a falling car...lol

The tires are 215/35/19 Pirelli P-Zero Neros' , I went with them because they were cheaper and not all that much smaller than 225's. With my 3" drop I really don't think I could fit a 235 or 245, not too mention my rims are only 7.5" wide so why go wider?!

I will definetly take some pics this afternoon

Well, Thank you for all the good and bad comments...

I like them, that's all that matters...

I am kind of confused about the offset cause my front wheels stick out abit...We don't have any pics of them on cause the front spring plates (or whatever you call them) are hitting my tires so we need to work around this first but the back are on fine and looks amazing

What did you have to do to get them shaved for your offset?

^Take pics of the back of the rims?

They are all on now, I have to upload them, so I will have to post them tomorrow since my brother was having a photoshoot with my car lol

They had to shave the back of the hub to change the offset.

That pic doesn't do the car justice. We got some nice updated pics of the car today.




Big brakes are on order next.... Its in the works...
She decided to go with the 215 35 19's not only for the cheaper price, although that was somewhat one of the deciding factors. Its more the fact that the 215's are closer then the 225 35 19's are to her stock Z24 tires... Which is better for the speedo and all that other good stuff....

its coming along baby....... Looking good for a j-body...

I like mostly all wheels, especially those! But to me, they don't look like they have a lot of protection from everyday driving. It looks like you will be cleaning them and praying that you don't scrape them up.....no lip protection there. But anyways, I like them.

Good luck

I feel your previous rims were not only more tasteful, they suited the car much, much better.

Rims like that belong on SUV's....

Sorry but that's how I feel. Glad you enjoy them.

that is photoshopped. you can see the ground and @!#$ like behind the rotor

Thank you for posting my pics baby

Well thank you for the good and bad comments, I wasn't expecting a big love for them on here ...which is fine by me cause I got them for me and not to please everyone else. Like most people on here like black, gunmetal or silver but It's not really my taste, sometimes depending on the car I like it but I love big shiny rims on truck, car, basically anything.

I got rid of my old rims cause I bought them used off a friend and they were curbbed, too small and all pitted cause he drove in the winter with them so the salt and sand ate at them.
I don't drive the car more than 20 or 30 times a year and I drive this baby like a grandma...I know like every pothole in my city so I'll be alright. I don't drive into parking lots or over speed bumps..I only drive on flat streets...lol
Either way thank you for all your comments

Actually that isn't a photoshop cause I was right there when my brother took the picture...That's my @!#$ty paved driveway and the reflection of my house in the background!

Thats cool that your a good driver because your wheels will last longer....lol.

I like the chrome wheels, I dont have them because I can't afford them...lol.

Like you said, as long as your carefull, your wheels will last a long time, I know if I owned them they would have a curb check once a week!
Re: Lookie at what the nice UPS man brought me!

^I am going to baby these, they are my biggest purchase so far and my very first pair of brand new wheels so I am going to take such good care of them!

I used to be a bad driver (not so much bad but careless with potholes and speedbumps) but now that I got these & my new kit I have changed my ways especially since my new front piece is soo much lower than my old one.

I think I would die if I curb one of these!

You can tell its not photoshopped 'cause you can see her brother's reflection in the far left spoke. Rims proved me wrong. Didn't like them in the pic of them, but they look good on your car since there's so much done to it. Don't think it would look that great on stock.
