racerx78 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I've been missing the 5 spoke SHO wheels from my '10. So after searching i found some reconditioned wheels on eBay for 700 a set. They came in last week. Their condition was amazing, they looked like there were brand new OEM wheels. Got them installed today. I'm quite happy with how they turned out. These will be my winter set from now on. I'll have more pictures once i get the car cleaned up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Very nice aquisition at a good price... I kept my 2010 rims too, sold the 2013's to the dealer and he gave me an extra 1,500$ for the exchange... I wanted to buy a set fir summer and use the 2010's for winter as well, but I used the money for downpipes and tuner instead (2010 tuner not compatible for 2013). It will look better with car lowered tomorrow. The only thing I miss from the flower rims is that the car now looks very similar to my 2010, but I still prefer the old rims.[ATTACH]2073[/ATTACH][ATTACH]2074[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulford8 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Both look great guys!!! Yeah I love the look of the 2013's - the wheels..... I think the earlier wheels look much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjht Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Both of them look good, but I have to say that most of the looks and comments I get are due to the wheels and the grill on my 2013. I was unsure at first but I have now come to love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx78 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yes the 2013 wheels have grown on me. I couldn't think of any thing to replace them that wasn't crazy expensive. So i'll be happy with the OEM wheels for the spring summer fall season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 It s true, we get use to them... But, they certainly aren't unanimous. When the dealer put them (2013's) on the 2010, they looked very nice. But I think a lot of it is due to the fact that any wheels look better when car is lowered...

mhenne4 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I've always prefered the 10-12 PP wheels to the 13 PP wheels. I cant get over the "flower" aspect of it. That being said, I'm sure a little paint could change the focal point of the 13's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx78 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Got some the SHO cleaned up and took a few pix. It looks good all cleaned up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing them in person and driving on them for a few weeks, I cant imagine the car without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 [ATTACH]2141[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]2142[/ATTACH] For me, i am starting to dig into those flowers too, even though I prefer the older mags... The big difference for me to like is if it is lowered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fa-SHO Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I've always been a chrome wheel guy, but I like the look of the '13 wheels surprisingly. I think they're good enough to keep me from buying wheels, so that means more money for HP mods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
