My friday is shaping up real nice, Nitto Invo's arrived today.
Here's my mod list, in picture form:

275s and 245s up front

H&R Sport (not super sport)

20" wheels from efx1 (these were on his car about 5-6 hundred sets ago )

Going to be almost 70* here in Jersey and I can't see a better way to celebrate than getting the car worked on and looking exactly how I want! I'll post end results in here!

Spec_Davis

are you going to be doing it yourself? Today's weather was great 63 degrees.

I started my 2011 tan today and loved every second of it
I'd love to tackle this, but I'm real busy with work, so I'm taking it to my friends over at Car Toyz, they'll be in and out with the car faster than I could shake a pry bar at it lol
First major mod, in my life, that I'm not taking care of, but I'd rather it done right than me screwing up something on such a nice car too.

Should have some pics to post by tomorrow afternoon, really can't wait! I don't think I've ever disliked 17" wheels so much in my life. Even worse when I see 5-10 C's (one lives down the street from me) a day driving around with stock wheels, so it's time to stand out.

Wow post pics when finished!!!!

Spec_Davis

Yeah man! It'll be my 6th year in a row. It's wild how big it got, I remember back when 75-100 cars was huge, now it's hitting 1000+! Exciting stuff, and a great cause!
Need these wheels to even be seen at the show haha

I held out for them, hard to find the 275s but the reviews kept me looking, glad to hear another confident rider!
Dropped off the car a few minutes ago, can't wait to post results!

Can't wait to see the pictures !! A beautiful day to get the ride back with the nice mods !!

Wow. Those rims are EXACTLY what I have been looking for!!! Are these oem, aftermarket. Also, how much do they run? Any chance of getting them smaller than 20's (as in 18 or 19)?

08SEA300

They are made by a company named Hannover. They come in 18" and 20" sizes, at least what I've seen. These were on efx1's car before, and I bought them from him. Prices will vary depending on where you find them.

First- my man Terry took care of the springs and wheels and did it all in about 5-6 hours worth of work. Everything fit great and these H&R's ride better than stock imo. I'm AMAZED at how smooth this car rides, even with 1" drop. I couldn't be happier with these results. And the car look's AMAZING with the 20s!

ok ok-

Here's a shot of the car this morning- for reference:


The moment you've all been waiting for





(iPhone 4 pics, I know- I'll work on some better ones soon)

So- what do you think? I know I love it and I think this is exactly what I had in mind for the C, and I've achieved the exact look I wanted!!
Thanks again for efx1 for the whees and everyone else I found parts from.

Da..mn your car looks different those wheels really make a good change on it those 20 wheels looks spectacular

gwai_jai

omgitselaine

Looks sexxxy and it looks as if you won't have to bother cleaning the wheels too much yaay !!

Spec_Davis

wait until the springs break in the car will look even meaner. very nice btw and yeah the rims did change the look of your car.

EASYDOES1T

I think... we need a photoshoot soon :P looks great man!

mwaldron

Looks mean and really awesome! How is the ride quality with the 20s and the H&Rs? And with wheels that big does your car feel any slower?

I had 20s on a 2000 911 and it felt a bit slower compared to stock...

efx1

Looking good

Wheels look perfect on your car

Thanks! I will have to get a new pic soon, and change the mod list even
Thank you! I'm down! That'd be fun for sure. I may give my friend a call and see if I can get some photos done soon. Always wanted to have something more than the standard.
The ride quality is nearly stock. It's just a tad stiff on whoops and hard bumps, but other than that, smooth surface riding is impeccable! I don't notice any loss in acceleration, I had that sensation as well, but the car definitely scoots as well as it did.
Thanks much! My kind of cleaning schedule
Couldn't have done it without you! All those PMs back and forth finally made me get the tires! Thanks again bud!!

Thanks for all the kind words! I got a bunch of compliments tonight when I went out with the lady, and she liked them a lot as well. Win win!

I thought about all black, everything, but I'm trying to use the chrome strips as accents. We'll see though, that might not last.
My next project might be painting the headlight housings.
