COLD day for a BLAZE! - USWheels!

[SublimeDaytona268]

OK, so this is one of the projects Ive had in the works for a while now. As much as I want to wait to get the car cleaned up and do a more "official" photoshoot, I just couldnt wait any longer to share this with you guys...

Unfortunately, it snowed here in Chicago today, but I just couldnt wait to put these bad boys on the car! Therefore, I had to drive her home in the crappy weather, but Ill get it all cleaned up soon enough. Once I catch a good day, Ill get it washed and call my boy Motor to go and take some better pictures, so be on the lookout for those! :mrgreen:

I got into contact with USWheels a while back and decided it might be time to go the extra mile for some completely custom, multi-piece forged wheels. After much debate, I settled on the "Blaze" model, so I got to planning a color scheme for them. I REALLY dig the black lip on wheels, so I had to incorporate that. And what better way to carry out the color scheme than go Sublime with the five main spokes, and black on the thin spokes in the background. Ive always been a fan of chrome, but I decide it was time to move on from that, so this is where I stand now.

The wheels are 22x9 in the front, 22x10 in the rear with 265/35 and 295/30 tires, respectively. The car is lowered significantly on Eibach coilovers, for those wondering about the stance. Without any further wait, here are the preliminary pics:

[bookeem]

those wheels look great and the perfect match for the car...

[Rollin on Dueces]

that is just awesome!! I really liked your old wheels, but these are perfect for the car. Great Job!!!

[fireman2118]

Those are absolutely "SIC" as hell!

[slayer213]

Your Sublime rocks. The Rims are sick. Ever since i saw Freebird's car i wanted them for my Sublime. They're just too expensive for me. But they look totaly awsome. Keep up the great work. Your truely an insperation.

[smoove7410]

Pat,

First off..>DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, now then....sickest sublime period. I have looked at your car and thought all he needs is to ditch the chrome, and the door molding. ;) 1 of 2 aint bad...lol. The wheels, tires and stance are dead on. The tz hood and challenger front are I think the best possible combo you can put on a charger. I love it man and can't wait to see it at SF.:beerchug:

[SublimeDaytona268]

Awesome Pat! It keeps getting better and better!

Don

Thanks Don!

Right on! Thanks!

Hey Pat!

Couldnt gree more with that comment. As much as I love these bad boys, the old ones were tough to say goodbye to! Hopefully, they will find a good home on another LX!

Those are absolutely "SIC" as hell!

Great work man......You got me wanting 22's again.....LOL

Lol, you cant resist the force.... 22s are just "right" for these cars!! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help when you decide to make the move back to 22s.... ;)

another US Dubb rider! lookin' tight!!

Im followin in the footsteps of a number of other members here.... you bein one of them Icewood! Thanks!

[SublimeDaytona268]

pat they look great, sorry i did not get to see them before they went out. they left the day before i got up there. can't wait to see them in person.

It's all good Ralph, no worries. I got to see some pics of them before they shipped out anyways, so I had something to hold me over until they got here.

Thanks for the kind words my man! Im in the process of ditchin the chrome (more to come on that soon..... you'll see), but Im afraid the door moldings will never go! Im really loving the way the Grip front and Chally hood combo worked out as well. The car has come a long way.... trust me! Im almost embarassed to put up old pics of it, lol. Thanks again for the comment, and I look forward to meeting you and a lot of others at Spring Fest!!!

Same here bud... There are only a small number of wheel companies I would ever personally buy due to my taste in wheels, and USW is definitely one of them. Gotta show em to you soon!

i think i saw those pics but they did not do them justice.

You are absolutely correct.... no justice at all! Much better in person and on the car! :mrgreen:

Pat, I got a gllimpse of the wheels last night. You were on a stop light on Harlem and Higgins around 10:15. I was turning south onto Harlem from Higgins and I saw the beast. The wheels just jumped out at me. The car was looking nice and clean too.

Yep, that was me Ernie!! Was heading to grab some TBK! And yea I just had the car washed that day.... had to get it cleaned up before I locked it away in the garage for this ridiculous snow storm we are having....
:blam:

Looking good bro! love the new rims, bad ass charger!

Right on, thanks!

Holy $hit....Looks soooooo Good

Thanks bro, Im real pleased with the way it came out. Once this weather clears up, Ill have some more/better angled pics for everyone!

nice the modding just does not stop with you, just saw the other thread

Thanks Sergeo..... Still have the black Lorenzos sitting in the garage..... All 6 of them, lol. I have four 22x9.5" wheels (two have tires, two do not), and I have two 22x11" wheels in the garage just sitting there for now. They will be for sale.... interested? :mrgreen:

they look really sharp !!!

Thanks! I think so too.

hey thats hot . it looked good ass hell at first but now even sweeter. i dont know which ones i like better. but it still looks good. what did you do wit yo old wheels?

I agree.... the Lorenzos were a tough setup to top if you ask me. But every day I see this car with the new USW's on it, I know I made the right move and went to a whole 'nother level. Real happy with the change! And like I told Sergeo.... all of the 6 Lorenzo wheels are in my garage and are for sale.... :mrgreen:

Beautiful what a car

Thanks for the nice comment! She's a beauty!!!


Thanks for all the kind words to everyone.... I appreciate all the comments.
