unless its white or black, metallic paint makes a huge difference in wheel color. plain purple i think would look ugly.

these Blitz wheels are a stunning example, there are loads more examples out there as well.

 

Mine will be Chameleon.

 

I believe he was commenting on the fitment, more than anything else. Owner of that car is going for a certain look, but is a couple steps away.

On a side note, I think dark purple wheels can look great. A long while back I wanted to rock a dark purple multispoke wheel similar to these Advans:

 

Exactly! I love purple. I like lighter more vibrant purples though, but that's just me.

 

those advans look sweeet!!!!!!!!!

 

Those wheels looks sexy!

 

Yes, those _________ do look __________.

 

I see what you did there

 

Nice advans, too bad they have that terrible color. Would look a lot better in white, black, sliver, gold or bronze.

 

^ Agreed those RGs would look better in any other color than that... Burgundy/purple?

 

Although, I'm just a fan of classic wheel colors. Never gets old.

 

lol, can't please everyone.

 

On another note, wheels are taken apart! Faces ready to be refinished and then relipped with 4/5.5" polished reverse lips!

 

 

Exactly! This guy was my motivation to get Rezax, I'm doing a really similar finish! This is Milt's 350z from low n' slow crew, real nice guy. Thing is absolutely ridiculous. I like reverse lips though.

 

They look different.

 

Never fully pleased anyways, lol at the dice valve stems.
Almost as good as my buddies cobra valve stems.

And your rezax's look different than any pics I can find. Odd.

 

Yeah that's why I posted because his look different. I guess there were different versions maybe. Rezax seems to be a line of wheels rather than a specific one. I see Rezax II (ones above).

This

vs

 

I like the version II much better.

 

Damn you guys beat me to it, Rezax I's and Rezax II's, lol

I think Rezax are pretty cool wheels. Looking forward to the progress Danny

How aggressive do you think the setup will be? Pics of other cars for examples?

 

The rezax's on work's website look like truck wheels.

 

lol, coworker sent me this from Derek's instagram ->

 

Yeah I have the Rezax I. I'm not gonna rock the waffle though. So they'll look similar to a vs-xx without it. AND I MADE PROGRESS TODAY. Actually did some test fitting. I'll post the few pics I took.
Turns out when I measured I forgot to include 1/2" for the face (noob mistake) the the lips I ordered are technically too big. Fortunately It didn't make a difference in front, I can still run the 18x10.5 -4, rather than 10 +4 like I had anticipated. The 4" front lips came in so I was able to test direct size, no issue there.
Thank God the rears were special order and haven't shipped yet because if I was stuck with those 5.5" lips I'd be running a 18x12 -4 rather than the 11.5 +4 like I thought it would be. So I'm going with a 5" lips instead to make it right again. Good thing the lips mount over the faces on these wheels so if measured from the front they're still about 5.5".

So lets start with the rear fitment: Since I had no lips to test with the actual size I used a Work Meister S1 in 18x10 0 offset with 255/40 tires. Car is on stands, so the wheel is jacked up touching the fender, measuring to the lip of the wheels from the fender was about 48mm of poke. But, these wheels are about 15mm less aggressive then what mine will be. But then we also have to consider camber; on the ground my rear camber is -4.5, jacked up like this its probably a little less, close to -4 or even lower. I'll be running -6 in the rear on the ground so that new difference should take care of about 25mm of poke. So it would be 48mm -25mm from the camber, then +15mm for my wheels being more aggressive. That puts my rears to poke about 40mm from the fender when sitting on the ground. Keep in mind I'll also be running 255/35, smaller sidewall then the tire pictured. Realistically, I can probably pull my fenders about another 15mm without repainting, that's the plan. I'll have about a 25mm, an inch, of poke from the pulled fender


Moving on to the front, I have to apologize for not taking a picture of the wheel jacked up. This pic is just of it mounted without the jack underneath it. but for the sake writing a **** ton I'll paraphrase: After a similar pull in front it will poke as much as the rear, and that was the goal. Having different amounts of pull and poke looks off, as with running really different amount of camber from front to rear. I don't plan on running more than -5 degrees of camber in front.


And here's just a shot of the fronts with the 4" lip. Only being held on by 4 bolts since the faces are being refinished. They look massive! Can't wait for the rears!

 

Good **** danny, hope it turns it out well man!

 

if this guy drives his 8 in the winter this low .. he is my freakin idol
