New wheels on the sky! (56k warning)

[Dietcoke]

18x8, 18x9 J1 wheels with 245/45/18 and 275/40/18 General Exclaim UHPs. Sorry it's filthy, rain > black car.

Sure beat the chromies I had on there... now it needs to come down about an inch and then it'll sit perrrfect. Pics dont do these wheels justice... they really complement it's look. I want to put faint pearl silver/blue ghost flames on the front, have the windshield surround + brake calipers painted black to match the body, smoke the reverse light &front side markers, and then its onto the interior. I'll post pics of the huge RPI intercooler when I get around to putting it on, for now you can see the stock one through the front grille. Also needs a custom plate, taking suggestions. My goal is to get it into a magazine by the end of 2008 :) Work in progress....

This one with my show taillights in which are painted body color (with the old huge antenna which is now gone, as you can see in new pics)

Nice! I love the quad tips... Personally, I would have gone to 19s or possibly 20s with that platform, but it looks great.
As for a custom plate. Maybe "No Limit" or LMTLSS or anything playing off of "The Sky's the Limit."

Reps to anyone who can make me a sig.

19s/20s are just too heavy/big for what i want to accomplish. They dont fit well either without rubber band tires, because of clearance issues. Tucking the 275/40 street tire or 295/30 hoosier A6 is the limit of space available

hey please dont post car pictures in the picture section. There's a section entirely for cars. Thanks

[Dietcoke]

I forgot -_- can someone please move this?

[Nemesis]

I really like those cars. Great start on the mods.

[Glides]

Looks like a moon buggy. Cool car, lowering springs would set it right off the top. Nice start.

I agree with you, but only so far. Offsets are more critical to width of wheel and tire set ups than diameter of the wheels. If you found the right 19" wheel with a favorable offset that allowed you to run something crazy wide, you would think differently. My tires are about 40 mm wider in the rear than some S2000s, and that is largely thanks to the offset I am using.

although i do like the car!!! i dont like the wheels =C sorry man it just does not look right to me. maybe its the tires seem to tall or something... i dont know just does not look right to me. Nice car though =D

The more I look at the Saturn Sky the more I want one. Nice job. Now drop it!

[Nismo]

I like it just no ghost flames please, what are we in 2003 again?

[Dietcoke]

Lowering springs are due here saturday

[240sxturbofr]

not bad at all

[JohnnyC.]

I have also liked the Sky since it was released! In my opinion, Saturn (GM) made a brilliant move by rebadging the Opel as a Saturn in the states. Reps!
