Vibe GT7-R Wheels DELIVERED

[Deleted member 37397]

They look great! And nice garage man.

I'm dreading soon, with barely any miles on my 19 due to a late delivery, dealing with the winter storage of my non R with it's SC2's on the car. Seems to be no good options without different wheel sizing & related costs & logistics.
I wonder what others in similar shoes are doing.

Thank you, my plan is to put the stock wheels back on for winter, and if I need to take it to the dealer for any reason I’m throwing the stock wheels back on as well.

Beautiful car and beautiful garage!

Thank you! I’m very pleased with how the garage came out. Wheels are so damn nice.

Beautiful wheel. Couldn't find it on the web page. How much do they weigh? Do they feel similar to the OEM wheels and tires when you pick them up?

If there was time I'd love to make up a rolling dolly to get wheels up & off for warmer storage and that breaks down during driving seasons. Jack stands seem too risky given where mine is to be stored and wheels & tires that can tolerate freezing are expensive for what they are needed for. Tough 1st world problem I know but its been a lot of cash burned for what has been so little use this year with a ridiculously late build cycle.

Hope to hear your update on how the new ones feel/drive soon (before the cold weather dashes our fun - I hear already a low of 37 here for tomorrow night - waaay too soon!)

I'm probably going to put mine up on a quickjack and take the wheels and tires off to store inside. Probably block off the suspension so its not at full sag all winter.

Yes, Scoobs - I thought of the same thing - I even visualized making a carrier for the quick jacks out of 2" sq stock that can be rolled....but then I realized there's no time for more projects. Anyway have been on watch for QuickJack deals @ Costco but they're not happening now.

So I like you plan - will see if that fits with my buddy's storage needs - he might have even suggested the same last month. I'll be nested between 3 60's era vetts. I'm at least a year off from a garage construction assuming plans & permits happen....so making due with a little generous help from my friends.

Here’s the original thread from the vendor. Yes, the wheels are a lot lighter than stock, I believe 24 pounds on the front and 25 pound on the rears. And I can tell just by removing the stock set and installing these

I just got the Costco deal last week, haven’t had time to open the box yet but $899 couldn’t pass that up

Did it expire? Damn...I might have been looking at this months coupon book.

Yeah Sept. 23rd I think was the last day

Are these on their website somewhere and I’m just missing them? I don’t even see the GT350 as an option.....

 

[Deleted member 37397]

No I just contacted Vibe myself. Ask for the GT7-R

It got by me....now its $300 more until the next sale.

Took the car out for a ride today, stopped for gas and an old guy loved the car and couldn’t believe the size of the tires haha. Anyways, the car rides great, it does feel a bit more nimble, temps were about 65 degrees and heavy traffic so I didn’t get to really play around much. Anyone know how I can change my speedometer? It’s a few miles off from my Waze gps. I only have a Mac computer and I’m admittedly ignorant on using forescan.
