I happy rolling with you on the color for the 33 wheel. No hurry…best to nail the color.

 

Hey, while we are talking. I can’t find what everyone thought was the best tire pressure on 225/40-18 and 255/40-18 Michelins. Not track, just hauling ass in the mountains. Sorry folks, this might be off subject for this thread.

 

So will a gloss clear-coat lighten the colour a tad? If so, that may be a cheaper way out.

Gloss will slightly.

This is a function of it being brushed though (both wheels are satin). Brushed is a clear over the raw aluminum. It's lighter because you see the aluminum through the color (e.g. the color is itself a tinted clear coat).

 

In a bit of a rush today but I grabbed a quick pic. Gabriella, 18/19, Hyper Black

It seems…silver😯

 

17/18 Stefania double brushed gunmetal! Absolutely beautiful wheels, pictures really don't do them justice. I wanted something that would match the carbon fibre on my car as close as possible and these are pretty much an exact match. Received them on Friday and got them mounted the same day, and on the track less than 24 hours later!

 

Looks awesome! I love that you got them on track the next day. Great stuff 😁

 

Just wow!!!!!!! If I had to do it over I would get hyper black over double brushed gun metal. Hyper black, wow

I was always curious how a classic wheel finish would work with the depth of Rosso. I kind of didn’t doubt it would turn out nice, but I admit I’m beyond pleased with the outcome here. That said, it’s tempting to try other finishes. They are all so nice looking! Maybe in the future we will all start a wheel-share program 🤣

I received mine. I didn't think I'd be able to mount for a few weeks, but I couldn't stand it...so I did. 😊
Unfortunately the weather had been horrible and I have no pics worthy of the wheels. They are great though. Double brushed gunmetal. Again, the pics are terrible. I love them.

 

Those are way cool. They look great!

 

Finally got to fit the tyre of choice to my rear 9” wide Stefanias. 245/40x18 Conti SportContact 7. It’s just been on the Quickjack and the suspension hasn’t yet settled.

 

And here we are!!

Fronts - 18 X 7.5 Gabriella 26 et with 225/40ZR 18 Super Sport
Rear - 19 x 9 Gabriella 30 et with 255/35ZR 19 Super Sport
Centre caps - 60mm Giulia QV caps.

All on Standard Launch Edition Suspension

Was a bit over whelming at the beginning but once the car was on the ground and especially watching my son drive it with me from behind. It Looks Effing awesome.

If anyone is on the fence JUMP OFF! You really need to see the car in person as Photos dont do it justice.

@John4C big thanks the car looks awesome, I'll PM you as a mate want a set also.

 

Lovely, Joe….Very pleased to see the discussion on offsets wasn’t wasted. They look perfect to my eye.

 

These showed up yesterday. Looks like the actual wheels are still crossing the United States.
Thank you John, the pictures don’t do the richness and depth of this finish any justice!!!

 

I found (here on the forum) that there have already been those who have "dared" red...👍🏻

 

Every third week I think about having my wheels’ colour changed to something a little lighter. This is not one of those weeks. Today they looked beautiful in the early afternoon light. The phone camera didn’t quite capture it but jeez they looked especially nice today.

 

Hello gents

60mm is the size. Fits more snug on the front, takes some real finessing and some fighting, but will get in eventually.

I'm in the UK so these are the ones I purchased (Shop4Parts)

Sorry @davenorcal, but I think Euro Compulsion sell them on your side of the pond.

$65 per cap?? Ouch!

 

For all four….from Shop4Parts….The EC price is ridiculous.

Well she finally came home from the body shop yesterday.
Damage repaired, paint corrected, Novitec front spoiler, Koshi grill inserts, and of course Johns awesome wheels (and that’s a 275/35/19 in the rear).

275s??!! That's a ton of unsprung weight only semi neutralized by the lighter wheels. What size fronts? THose have got to rub under hard cornering loads

 

I was already on John’s recommended 225 & 255 in Continental Extreme Sports. One of the rears were destroyed when it was hit. When I tried to order replacement rears, I found tirerack had the line on clearance prepping for the new model. They were out of 245,255,265 and 275 was $5 less than my originals, so I couldn’t pass trying them. And I’ll admit, I do think they look awesome on it.

Perect you got the Michelins in oem specs! Always wanted to see these on this wheels.
Which spec are your wheels?
I've got the oem pirelli's on my gabriella's. They are a little overstretched.
Do your michelin protect the wheels ? my Pirelli's do'nt anymore....
very nice set up!

 

Answers:

The front wheel is 8 inches wide the rear wheel is 9.5 inches wide. Michelin's manufacturer's recommended specs allow for the tires to be mounted on both those widths. They are stretched but it looks good. The wheel lips are completely unprotected.
Brushed Champaign has a satin finish... at least these do anyways.
I reached out to John via private message and he had exactly what I wanted. A wonderful experience and an incredible product. Gorgeous wheels.

 

Quick update, the 205 on the front is holding a bead just fine but the 235 on the rears were not holding air. Looked super cool but the tires were not enjoying the stretch. I switched to 255/35/19 on the rears and all is good.

 

What brand and model of rear 235 tyre and wheel width do you have? I found 235/40x18 Conti Sport Contact 6 do fit 9” width wheels do. The lower profile of the 19” ones simply can’t stretch that far it seems.

 

PS4 and according to Michelin, they would make the stretch but on these particular wheels after a few days of sitting they were down to 20 pounds. It was worth a try, I already had the tires and they were brand new. Another brand may bead up just fine but I couldn't get the Michelins to do it. Rear wheel is 9.5".

 

I have been biting at the bit to throw my choice of wheels into the mix! Thanks to BSPKForged; I'm so excited and closer to realizing my vision for the 4C! Thank you! (The following photos are in no way of the professional sort..) more to come..

 

There was good reason LLagos was banned from the forum relating at the time to supporting evidence provided for the certification of wheels. This is a post photos of your wheels thread not a plug another vendor one. Be amazed, they’re great wheels.
Now please show us your 4C.
