I finally got my new, to me, wheels. I was going to wait to post pics till I had them all cleaned up along with a paint correction on the car, but I couldnt help myself. Car is dirty and the wheels need some serious love but damn thats a good looking combo. I've ran multiple high end wheel set ups on the car (classics, tf chicanes, bbs rk's ect...) and this to me is the best yet.
Ccw sp500s
265 35 mpss, 305 35 toyo r888
14" brembo GT kit
MM coilovers up front, h&r race with no isos out back

Will do a full paint correction and full correction/polish on the wheels next week hopefully then I will get some better pics. But for now enjoy these!

Looks great. I’ve always wanted the SP500s.. maybe one day I’ll swap my TF’s for those.

Sharp car

Thanks. I've wanted a set for a while and across these. I have nothing against TF wheels, just wanted a different set up

Looks so good! Always been a big fan of sp500s. Someday after I get my mod list shortened I’ll be looking at a set of these. Thanks for posting.

I'll get you a pic of the clearance of the calipers by both the face and the barrels. But its more than enough. I can tell you what, it's much better than it was with the classics. Here's a pic of those, and that was with a spacer

Thanks. Those are ideally the front brakes I would like to get. Do your 500's have a Big Brake cut on them that you know of?

Finally got a hace to clean them up. Overall they were in good shape but definitely needed some love. Wetsanded them in the spots that needed it and the hit them with mothers aluminum polish. So far this has been the best stuff I have found for polished aluminum. Hopefully they will be easy to maintain now.
Side note: since these wheels are so open and the barrels are refective I need to make sure I keep the brakes and suspension up. They show everything!
