Finally ordred my wheels...

07FiJiSi · 07-18-2007, 03:22 PM

...about 2 weeks ago...Gram Light 57F's 18x8.5 in bronze. I have a Fiji coupe. A little shaky at first for the bronze but it grew on me. Well, today I call and found out that the wheels haven't been shipped from machin yet. Maybe another 2 weeks or longer he doesnt know. I made a phone call and found the same wheel for $200 more in the silver color.

HELP!!! Should I hold out for the bronze set or take the Silver set that will ship in 3-4 days?

I'd opt for bronze. I think it'll stand out more. Nonetheless, dentrecords has silver on silver and that also looks great as well.

good choice those wheels will look hot on your car

07FiJiSi · 07-18-2007, 04:11 PM

ya I think that style will no matter what...Im concerned with not liking the shade of bronze. What about powdercoating forged wheels if I dont like the color? Is it just the same as powdercoating a cast or steel wheel?

Asif22 · 07-19-2007, 02:49 AM

Bronze is cool. I love bronze

07FiJiSi · 07-19-2007, 09:51 AM

ya I think bronze could look cool too...I just dont want to spend that much money on a wheel that everytime I walk out to the car Im unhappy with.

bsramzy · 07-20-2007, 09:22 AM

i would wait. a lot of us had to wait to get ours too but its worth it. my vote is w. bronze

Bronze on Fiji looks awesome.
Makes the color stand out more as well as the car overall.

JeShUa · 07-20-2007, 11:26 AM

Ugh, I'd see if Groupe S has any of their sets left that are 1,000. Otherwise get the bronze.. why not wait for the color you want AND dont pay 200 more.. lol. 2 weeks is nothing.. thats what I had to wait for my first set of rims.. this second set is rounding 3 months.

Anubis · 07-20-2007, 12:28 PM

Bronze

I Vtec, do you? · 07-20-2007, 02:54 PM

Don't settle. Silver rims are generally plain, and bronze would look immensely better on a FBP.

07FiJiSi · 07-23-2007, 07:20 AM

Cool, thanks guys. I'm going to wait for the bronze. I'll post up some pictures when I get them.

i think gummental will look sexier on blue car.

Axian · 07-23-2007, 09:23 AM

if you dont wait for the color you really want... you'll regret it every time you look at your car. Be patient young grasshopper!

rmfa · 07-23-2007, 09:54 AM

Please don't do bronze on Fiji. It doesn't look good, imo. Go with the silver...

JeShUa · 07-23-2007, 12:02 PM

How does it not look good?

07FiJiSi · 07-24-2007, 02:59 PM

Thanks Jeshua rub it in...Looks great man...I cant wait...but...I HAVE TO WAIT

How long did it take for you guys to get your Volk, Rays, Gram Lights?

JeShUa · 07-24-2007, 06:24 PM

Rays - ordered 5/8 - still waiting.

07FiJiSi · 07-25-2007, 08:06 AM

...meaning you dont have your TE37's anymore? I guess I feel a little better then. Mine was ordered 7/5 and I am already

But the place I ordered them from said that they had them in stock and they would be about a week. Now he says that HE doesnt have them but Mackin does I'm just waiting for Mackin to send them to him to send them to me....so hopefully they aren't that far off.
