Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

mark.r · 09-04-2007, 05:56 PM

+1 I hope to get a set of these for my "street" wheels in the off season.

InFlight1 · 09-04-2007, 07:52 PM

I bet VBCARGUY has them on order. Anybody??????????????????

85percent · 02-02-2008, 09:25 PM

A7594217 · 09-08-2008, 09:34 PM

I know this is an old thread but i would love to see some pics. Maybe somebody has gotten them by now.

SweetDaddyD · 09-08-2008, 10:10 PM

Not my car but I striped it. Awesome looking wheels. Even better when we powdercoated them to match my stripe samples then added the stripes.

couple more pics in this thread. Post 72/73 Official Stripes Thread: Post Your Pictures Here
I think Mick posted some on the LLSE yahoo group as well.

I LOVE those wheels. I would buy a set for my Evo X in a heartbeat if they made them in the right size (Shinoo, you interested in entering a new market?).

m4mica · 09-09-2008, 07:10 AM

I think there's a good picture of them in the first post of this thread

NICE. Keep them coming if you got them. I love these wheels.

Greenstreak · 09-12-2008, 11:37 AM

The remind me of old Blitz Type 03 wheels.

Alek · 09-21-2008, 08:55 AM

Here are some more pictures.

Unfortunately, I've had them lying in the garage the entire summer, but finally got the time to put on the rubber. Had them painted silver as S111 sent me the wrong color due to wrong labeling from the manufacturer (black)
I haven't had time to put on the Nitrons Sport yet but i can safely say that the A048 creates a totally different car compared to the AD07. Braking is now just incredible. I've always felt that the wheels were undersized up front, but now with the Stellas and the 048, the car is behaving the way it should have from the very start. Almost impossible to have the ABS kick-in. I don't understand people who say there is not much difference between the sports pack and the standard setup. To me it feels like night and day on the rubber alone.

Nonetheless, as for the Stellas, I think they look great. Now the front rims are more or less aligned with the wheel liner, which gives a much more aggressive appearance.

As for the projects this winter, I’m going to have the headlights repainted to become matt chrome, and not silver as they are now (the paintshop I used didn’t know how to paint chrome, and therefore came up with the silver color)

Secondly I’m going to replace the cheap plastic grilles with black mesh.

Finally, I’m considering replacing the grilles in engine lid with transparent plastic (more or less the same way as a 360 Modena)…

And, of course, I’m going to have to have the front clam repaired as my girlfriend managed to hit the side of the garage door

That’s the plans at least, time is the constraint…

I actually really like the black and blue car.... Very beautiful, IMO.

timmp · 09-21-2008, 09:40 AM

I think the silver rims look great on your car! Reminds me of a ferrari daytona look, or perhaps renault alpine.

very nice

IamBatman · 09-21-2008, 02:19 PM

if the stock Exige wheel wasn't already so gorgeous, I'd be all over these wheels as well. Lets see them in evil Black! (Looks like a pentagram doesn't it?)
