R278 Gloss Black

[Charm City]

Need a little help and guidance. I am strongly considering the gloss black 278's from VQMotoring for my torrid red. One thing I would like to know is what are the pros and cons of getting the 19's? I have no problem rolling the fenders if there is someone in the St Louis area. I've read about Pedders 0' drop springs. Is this necessary? I ordered hub rings from JamesBiz months ago, just in case. Those of you who run this wheel (and others) please provide your valuable input.

Other wheels that I was considering:

AZA Z-1
AZA Z-2
CSL

If you can recommend a wheel (black center/chrome lip), please do so.

I personally love the CSL's... Ive got them in Hyperblack on my CGM, and love my choice.. Seems like everybody on the street loves the look also... A bunch of people on the board also have CSL's and they would recommend them to you as well...

Get 19's if you can afford them, no matter the wheel choice. Makes the wheel look so much better.

This will be a good thread for me. I was considering the 278s or the AZA Z1s and im stuck between 18s or 19s .Im also a 5 spoke man and my cars torrid red so id like to see where this goes.

[morrison84]

Damnit. I think I'm gonna jump on the CSL bandwagon.

Thats a bad looking ride. Wheels make me think of my rocket, had an 06 cbr600rr and i put a red stripe around the wheels.

ruff racing r280s. staggered with 4'' lip out back and 2/1/2'' lip up front

[doublered06]

are they 18s or 19s? Looks killer.

[05TRa4GTO]

The only reason I didn't go with 19s was because of the cost of tires

[Sean058621]

mine are 18's....I like a little tire :)

I almost bought csl's but went with R278's instead

Loosecannon - Those black CSL's are awesome. 19's?

Rick James - What size wheels did you get? Any mods necessary for them to fit?

[Loosecannon]

Yes they are 19's. Staggered fitment. I'm gonna head out in my GTO right now and try and take some night time pics. Wish me luck. Hopefully have them posted in a few hours.

I really like the looks of 19's, just 18s are a lot cheaper and not a lot smaller.

[FLEX05]

I'd go with 19's, I personally think they are the perfect size for our cars.

I am running 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear tire sizes are 235 35r19 in front and 265 30r19 rear . There is no rub in front or rear but I will roll rear fenders because it's very close and might rub if car bottoms out.

[nsurge]

I wanna see some PBMs with black 278s....

[FLEX05]

What kind of tire are you running Rick James?

[doublered06]

05TRa4GTO your car looks great. I just found a pic of it on a thread about from splitters and after seeing it 18s look even better to me.

[05ls7gto]

I think 19" CSL's on a GTO are perfect.

05TRa4GTO your car looks great. I just found a pic of it on a thread about from splitters and after seeing it 18s look even better to me.

Thanks!
