I finally had some time to get this upgrade done, after the Mrs tires were all but gone, plus I was sick and tired of the 2009 4.6 wheel flaking issues, even after resurfacing them twice!.
Upgrade one (the easy one
)
The Mrs got a nice upgrade from 18” to 19” (standard issue):
Since she is going to inherit the R-Spec in couple of years or so, I was left with the dilemma of finding a ‘delicate’ set of wheels with a little presence. In the end, I settled on a Niche EYNO 20” Black with Machined Face and Double Dark Tint staggered setup, wrapped in a nice FALKEN ZIEX ZE950s (20x245x40 and 20x275x35 for the back) .
Got them installed today and I must say these pictures don't do them justice:
What I found so special about these wheels, is the way they catch and reflect the light! Where by, looking at them directly they are almost silver and they get progressively darker if viewed from an angle.
While I was at it, I could not help but remember that “OCD” thread and how the back calipers looked silver! therefore, that had to also be addressed at the same time, but finding something equally special. In the end I settled on a custom engraved caliper covers:
Then I thought, the front had the LED upgrade, the sides got the royal treatment, might as well get give the back a little touch while I was at it..
It was one of those times, ‘in for a penny...’ but I think the results were worth it..
