MS3 Owners: Show us your wheels

[jri4]

Your wish is my command.
To reiterate, 18X8 +50 Enkei Imola, 235/40 18 Star Specs. Stock suspension (coilovers are on the wish list).

New 235 Star Specs next to the stock size (215, as if you didn't know) Blizzaks

I'm also thinking about painting the calipers red some day.

Thanks! That looks really good. I just want a slightly more aggressive offset than +50... Perfect tire choice as well!

I just bought the G2 caliper paint kit too. N00b question - What kind of tools did you use to remove the wheels and paint the calipers? I'm guessing some type of jack and stands? I haven't removed my tires since I bought my MS3 so I haven't gotten any tools apart from the standard scissor jack and lug wrench.

You'll want a decent floor jack and four jack stands for sure. No way to do one at a time with the G2. It starts hardening quickly after you mix the two-part system. You'll have a few hours max to do it. Depending on if you had the dealer/etc. tighten/take off your wheels lately, you may even need a breaker bar to remove the nuts. My rears were fine, but my fronts had to have been torqued to AT LEAST 150 ft. lbs. Needed a breaker bar PLUS a 3 ft. pipe to break them loose.

yea the guy above is right..i needed a breaker bar to loosen my lug nuts. you can rent it for free at autozone with a small refundable deposit. take off the wheels, prep the calipers with some painter's tape so you dont get it on any hoses or rotors or anywhere else, and then lay down like 3-4 layers. i used a couple other artist brushes for better application. it probably took me about 3 hrs to get all four done meticulously..felt like i had to rush cuz of the time span stated on the box. jus imagine the plan of attack in your head haha!
