Pedders and New Wheels Installed @ Haddad's Today

[BlownG8GT]

I love the suspension, and the service and treatment at Haddad was second to NONE. So far I can say the car does ride a bit rougher, BUT it is performance suspension, so it rides as expected. The car is more predictable now in corners and turns, and the nose dive on braking has seemed to reduced. Below is a picture I took @ 7 pm so it was a bit dark, I will post up more pics tomorrow. This car sits EXACTLY how I wanted it to, so I am VERY pleased with the stance.

Thanks Charlie, I appreciate the complement! The centers are Silver, its hard to see at night in that pic.

I saw the wheels on the other board:

Would these stagger nicely? http://www.wheelmax.com/_images/products/AZA-Z-02-HL.gif

1500.00 with tires, mounted and balanced.....I could not pass it up! I am not a big fan of expensive wheels, they just get bent, stolen or curbed. These are light (enough) and look REALLY good IMHO.

[GRRRR8]

Excellent choice. Did you do 275-285s in the rear?

[Featherburner]

The car looks great!

Holy Shit!

[Blown396]

NICE!!!! Looks awesome, Man!

[Slizzo]

Shawiiiiing! White was my first choice and no one had 1.

My thoughts exactly.

Had a white one on the shore, but it had the two-tone interior, and the second half wasn't too keen on it, so I settled on it's darker twin. :)

nice rims... car does not sit to my liking and they tuck in too far but hey... I have really odd taste so my not loving it is probably a good thing...

that said. Really like the rim design... nice choice.

This is pretty much how I want my GXP to look. Very nice stance and great looking wheels.

To each his own ehhh? :) I chose to keep the wheels inside the fender well so I did not need to worry about ripping the fender off in a drive way.....They are JUST inside the fender.


very very nice

Thanks :)

Thank you sir!

[djchubbs]

looks very clean love the stance

[-Ray-]

Not bad for a white G8. J/K!
Looks awesome.

[EcoBrick Bob]

Are these the same wheels that TireRack sells - ASA w/ 39 offset on rear w/ 9.5? What brand tires did you buy?

I went with Beyern Multi's and 45 offset as I wanted to do Bridgestone 050A 285's on rear. Almost went with same spoke design as you which is Beyern Mesh.

With all the minor issues I had, probably should have gotten what you did!

Look great on WHITE!

[mmarsh]

That looks great. Prefect. I love the stance. I love the lip on the wheels. What sizes are the wheels. I think I just found my new first choice.

[Jag]

Car looks amazing! That is the look that I'm going for. Which kit did you go with exactly?

[Brodkill]

Hmm, nice rims.

[BigRob]

Dude, i have the same car...

minus all the cool stuff!! im stock!!!

ahhhhh!!!!

i dig the rims and stance, thats what im going for... but the magnacharger.... whew... one day... i guess i have the hard part done... lol

WOW! Now I am forced to decide between these and Breytons GTS. I was sure my mind was made up too w/ the Breyton's.:boxing: Beautiful rims you got, love the car!

Thanks! I will tell you what; I love the Breyton wheels, they are some very nice and high quality parts. The AZA is a less expensive option, the wheels and tires only cost me 1400 bucks.

That being said I hit a pot hole this past weekend that might have been the porthole to hell it was so deep. Not one scratch on the wheel or tire. If that had been a more expensive forged or spun wheel I would have been looking at a very expensive repair or replacement.

To me, it is not always the cost, its the function and look. The look Good (IMHO) and they are round, what more can a guy as for :)

Thanks for the complements!

[TNTNT]

Definitely a nice looking setup. Love the look with the white car.

[Featherburner]

My feelings exactly!

[99-LS1-SS]

Blown, can you tell a noticeable difference in traction?

[BlownG8GT]

Blown, can you tell a noticeable difference in traction?

Actually, yes I can. I noticed that under a WOT accel from a stop the tires spin "less".....but they still spin.

[Jag]

Which Pedders package did you get? I really love the way your car sits and the rims look great as well.

[G8GT721]
