Default Hyper black or regular black.. help me decide!

Finally found some new wheels..will be getting them this week!

my car is aero blue with 5% windows all the way around.. so, black.



i'm looking at the ADR Propulsion wheels.. either in black or hyper black.. this is where YOU come in!!


black...



or hyper black..




i think eventually i may get my headlights / tailights tinted as well.. so maybe go for the 'all' blacked out look?

If your car was black, I would say go with the Black. I feel with your body color, the windshield surround, side strakes etc., the Hyper Balck would look best.

I agree I think the Hyper Black would look great on your car.

Where are you getting them from and how much will they cost ?
Are you buying the stock rim sizes ? New tires ?

Thanks guys, looks like i made the right choice.. hopefully i get them in time for woodward dream cruise!!

And Stan, to answer your questions...:

I bought them from a vendor I found on eBay. "wheelconnections" also owns the site AVN Motorsports - Your performance experts for tires and wheels.

Me and them went back and forth a few hundred times getting everything perfect, so we will see. They were $650 shipped, and he threw in 20 tuner lug bolts, and 10 longer lug bolts, for free. The reason for the 10 longer lug bolts was that I ordered 15mm spacers for the rear.

The wheel sizes are as follows :
  • Size: 18x8.5 FRONT & 19x9.5 REAR
  • Bolt Pattern: 5x112
  • Offset: +35 FRONT & +35 REAR


    The stock rear offset is 22, you can get 10mm or 15mm spacers, so I got 15. This will put it down to 20, so it'll look even a tad better IMO sticking out a bit further.

    Also, I am getting 4 brand new tires as well. I'm staying with the stock 225/40/18 tire size up front, and in the rear i'll be getting 265/30/19 tires. I'm getting TOYO Proxes 4. Aroud 750$ for all four from a local tire place, one hell of a deal. The previous goodyear f1 a/s i had were around 1100$ for 4 and I absolutely hated them. The stock rear tires are 255/35/19, so i'm going 10mm wider, and 5mm shorter in the sidewall. It might look a little goofy in the wheelwell so I MIGHT have to lower them.. i'll be sure to comment / take pictures after everything is installed.

    I'm really excited for everything, and the company AVN and ebay member "wheelconnections" was a pleasure to deal with. They gave me quick responses even late at night and were more then accomdating to any questions I had.

    I also owe Max (maxcichon) my life. Me and him went back and forth and he was helping me out more then I can even thank him enough.


    I also asked him what other adr/stern wheels they could do. Their response was for $650 shipped they can do...

for the propulsion we have them in hypersilver, black, and hyper black. we also have the battle exe, st-7, st-8, st-2, and st-1.

Dude, you're welcome, BUT, the 265/30 will actually be a little taller. And will fill the wheel well better.

The "30" is percentage of tread width-a ratio. Not the true measurement.

Ya' done good!

With those 19x9.5 rears you should go with a 275 or 285 tire....that would look VERY good.

The new setup will look very good as you have it planned. Contrats!!

Oh yeah.....HYPER Black

the reason i went with 265 is that the toyo proxe 4 tires i wanted / am getting only come in 265/30ZR19 and 295/30ZR19.. so i dont really have a choice unfortunately... i really want to try these tires out since i've heard nothing but the best about them

Sorry guys,
I am not the best at these rim and tire size conversions.
So if I wanted rims that I could just swap my stock tires onto, what size should the new rims be?
Stan

Get the 295/30-19's !!! They will work on the 9.5 rim and the outside diameter is the same as stock, so no minute differences in speed-o readings or tire height.

Do it!
