My new rims finally came in. 18x8 Motegi MR122 with +35 offset. They had to be custom drilled to the 5x100 as they don't manufacture the gold with that pattern. The pics don't do the rims/car and justice, but it will have to do for now.

I like the style, not too sure on the color matching with the burnt orange. I gotta see them all on to tell really.

Fitment is gonna look gorgeous up front! Very undecided about the rim color myself but photos can be deceiving.

I like the wheel a lot! Props on having them redrilled!

They definitely look all of 18"s thats for sure. Not a huge fan of the color or spoke shape but nice job on getting them re-drilled to fit.

Anything else done on the car?

^ If by anything else done on the car you are inquiring about engine performance, then sadly no. A supercharger is in the future plans but I am more of a showoff so I focus on looks first. Basically what you see is what you get. What you can't see in those pics is a 95-99 trunk, dual exhaust, strut bar and short throw shifter. The gold rims might attract a lot of hate, but the car is getting pieced together exactly as I envision the finished product and nothing less. The rims really are one of those things that you have to see in person to truly appreciate. As always I appreciate all the compliments.

With a tad bit more low, this thing will be spot on.

Good job.

Very interesting combo. Did Motegi redrill or did a shop do it for you?

I honestly don't like anything about them unfortunately.

But props for getting them re-drilled so you could get what you wanted.


Club Jeffie, Yea we can make that. Text or Call(908)866-1882

Like said above I'm not huge on the color match with the orange, but those rims are sick!

I had Motegi drill them from a blank wheel. Unfortunately the blanks were already sprayed so the drill holes aren't gold.

Im a big fan. Dig the gold with the orange. Carry on.

I actually like the colors, too

I like the fact the holes aren't colored!

I do too.

Those look awesome Brent! Can't wait to meet up this year, there will be a BBQ out in GR on May 4th BTW, I'll keep you in the loop.

Thanks for the heads up! I will definitely be attending. I will do something to space out the rear similar to Jay's car. I haven't even put a rear wheel on yet to see how much it will need to come out.

Also, thanks everyone for the compliments!

I know he's selling a set of 3/4" hub spacers if you wanted to go that route, but might be overkill for your setup with 35mm wheels! Worst case, studs and hub-centric spacers!

I really like it man. Looks good.

Rims aren't bad. The color combo is my issue.

Those are long gone! Thanks for the plug though Joseph!

On my setup I was running a 17x8" 45mm offset rim with a 25mm spacer bolted down with GMPP long studs (grand total of 20mm offset in the end, for the math challenged lol). So going off this information I would say you would be golden with a 10-15mm spacer which will require longer studs. I am also running 1 degree of rear camber. My 1/4 panels are rolled for clearance however.

Hope that helped!

I like gold wheels, undecided on how i like them on the orange. almost every color can pull it off, but that color is so close it's an odd contrast. i love me a 5 spoke wheel too but HATE wheel designs that stick the spokes out beyond the rim. Personal preference. I do like the size/offset on there though.

That was just the info I needed, thanks man!

very much like those. what size are those tires? 215-40's? I need some new tires for my 18"s that better fill in the fender and those look like they do the trick quite nicely
