X-Nickel · #1 05-28-2013, 05:42 PM

So i have been waiting for about two months for these wheels and they finally came in. Along with the wheels i did the xpipe and a set of H&R's. Blacked out grills and thats about it for now.. Sadly i have to take the wheels back off for now until i install the new dogbones and rear camber kit this weekend but she will be back together sitting a little lower after this weekend.. Here are some pics, hope you guys like.

PS. Wheels are Niche milan wheels 20x10 front 20x10.5 rear
on 275's and 315's Nitto Motivo tires. No spacers no bub rings
needed.

Offset is right on and like that it shows how deep the wheels are. Lowering it will pull it all together. Nice job!

X-Nickel, who did the X pipe install for you? I'm ready to pull the trigger on this, just need to find the right guy to do the job. Is this the magnaflow 2.25 inch x-pipe? Looks like nice work from the pic.

Thanks guys and yes it's the 2.25 magnaflow. Just had a local meineke shop weld it in. Total cost for the X-pipe was 240.00 with the part and some filler pipes.

LOVE the wheels.

Very cool. Three more questions:

Do you think you lost or gained torque with the x-pipe over the stock resonator? Or no difference?

How is the sound? Louder at idle or just when accelerating?

Your Niche rims look great. Are they a 20 offset in the front or 40 offset? I'm assuming 20 in the rear and 40 in the front?

With the X-pipe I noticed a differance in torque, I would recommend it to anyone. As for sound it has a little growl under ecceleration but just like stock at steady highway speeds. And as for the wheels the fronts are 40mm but a 10' wide wheel and the rear is 10.5 at 35mm offset.

Do you think Niche (MHT) makes good rims? Do they balance easily or require a million weights? Bend easily?

I like the Niche Apex in silver.

The wheels are fine.. Balanced perfect with minimal weights. MHT makes wheels for a lot of other name brands so its a good quality wheel. I know a few guys in NYC running Niche wheels with stretched tires on them and they hold up fine.
