Nor300Cal's new rims and meet

[fatchance]

Nor300Cal is in So Cal area and today he finally got his rims and we met for about a half hour. Just a great time and with good conversation. I took a few photos of the cars. The two cars have 22" rims, lowered tint, and Nor300Cal has a E&G grill. He was still getting use to the look, I thought it looked great.

Those rims look insane NorCal...especially on that silver beauty of yours. Sort of remind me of Asantis...

May I ask what kind of rims those are,where you got em and how much you paid? If they made those in black itd be even better!

Very nice ride! I loved mine the instant that I drove it off the lot but when I got my 22's it went off the charts for me.

Nor300Cal will update give an update on Monday. He drove down to So Cal for a cruise out of Long Beach. He came down a day early and had the rims installed and this morning (Friday) he's heading over to Zoomers to have Ron put on his exhaust. I'm sure he'll give us a nice update when he returns, as he has a 400 mile drive home.

Nor300Cal knows that you were going out of town. I wonder how he feels today about his choice. He told me yesterday "man these rims are big". But that's why we do 22's.

Ok since I enetered a post in the wrong thread. I will say that NOR300Cal got his Zoomers today.

Hi everybody.

Thanks for the nice words about the wheels! Thanks for posting the pics fatchance. Just got back from my cruise to Ensanada with some buddies for a bachelor party....eeeewwwww, it was ugly. I certainly am not 21 anymore. My body had a heart-to-heart with me this morning about ever trying to put it through that again. For those of you who have not seen fatchance's car in person, it is GORGEOUS!! Sorry for the drool . I'll post pics hopefully this weekend. I have to fly to Vegas for work for a couple of days on Wednesday. Here's some specs for now:

D-forged wheel...Site
3-piece forged
22X9.5
+18 offset

fatchance is right...it's taken me a little time to fall in love with these wheels just because of the huge change. But I dressed up my baby on Thursday night in LA before I left for my cruise on Friday and it was a million times better. I typically would never allow someone to wash my car, but it was a 100% hand-wash. It made all the difference in the world to see them with a clean car with dressed tires. Now I'm in love . The other issue is that the front driver's side was rubbing. Just eye-balling it it seemed like the camber was off. So I was a little dissappointed that they weren't perfect out of the box after my fiasco with the Gianelle V5's. So I had to stick around in LA today so that Shoreline down in Huntington Beach could roll my fenders. Now...she's perfect. Those guys are a class act and squeezed me in because they knew I needed to get on the road home. I do have some insight for those of you shopping 22s...make sure that you are prepared to do a little extra work. Personally...I think that the tire you choose makes all the difference in the world as to whether or not you'll rub. What I mean by that is that if you take a Pirelli Asymetrico, Kumho, Hankook, Michelin Pilot, NITTO, etc in a 265/35/22...they're all gonna fit different due to sidewall design. I bet if I had put Hankook's on I wouldn't have rubbed because their design has a low profile side wall which avoids the rub in the front. Oh...I'm just gonna be quiet. It's a complicated subject honestly. I'll leave at if anyone has questions about my wheels or the fitment let me know. If any of you are interested in D-forged wheels the address and phone number are on the link. Ask for Ernie (owner) or Chad. They'll take care of you...their great guys. Ernie pretty much carries every wheel label known to man, but these D-forged are made especially for him by Intro Wheel who makes iforged. The chrome on these wheels is spectacular and the quality looks great. I'll post pics as soon as I can. Sorry for the scatter-brained post...I'm just running on fumes.

Will check in later....need sleepy

Thanks again everyone!
