Not mine but these are from the stungbystinger insta page.
I’m considering buying the new TSW pescara wheels in gloss black this spring.

Do you know the weight of the pescara, didnt see on website.

I’m assuming they’re around 30lbs in the 20x10 size like other similarly styled TSW wheels. In case anyone was wondering what wheels were talking about (pics related). Ignore the hideous Supra bodykit as these are the only pics I could find with them mounted to a car aha.

Anyone know the make of these wheels? Trying to work a deal on this vehicle. Not digging the wheels

Appreciate it man, they are ARK GT-F springs (~1" drop).

Honestly, I like the stock wheels already on the GT & GT1/2’s. The thing I’m impressed with in this thread, actually, is noticing the lack of black wheels- especially on the lights colored cars. Seems like the fad is waning.

I think the stock wheels look great in black , there are a few of us that have painted them ( plastidip , paint and powder coating )

Hey man- yeah, I agree. I have a generous quote for a power coating in black if I want it- but I might actually use the dip and glossifier I have here on them b/c I can see myself wanting to go back at some point. I was just commenting on how shocked I am to see so many light colored cars with anathracite, instead of black, wheels. Looks like the combo isn’t as prevalent outside the US.

That’s beautiful, though. I had that combo on my last car- which was white. Are those painted?

Thanks ! dipped , no glossifier

Really?! I’m sold. I think we talked about this before, but i’m actually glad to be reminded on how good this looks. Good job, bro.

can I get a slew of more photos, and if you are on it, your instagram? Im very seriously considering running the same size set up, but with Ace Alloy AFF05, or Stance SF07
thanks

I had my OE wheels powder coated 2 weeks ago. Had the done at about 130 each with a nice warranty against peeling, flaking or any bubbling. I went with Satin Black and I really love the look of them. I have gloss black winter wheels and I wanted something more subdued. Ignore the center cap color difference, i'm working on figuring how what to do with them. Either replace them or change the color.

The center caps look good that way. But they would look better matching. If you never changed them, meh! I paid $25 extra per cap to get matching gloss black paint to match the gloss black powder coat.

So.. Looking for a 2nd set of wheels, maybe doing some HPDE (OEM tire has been plugged and tore a few chunks off at auto-x). Looking for somewhat lightweight/strong, but not looking fully forged.

I see decent deals on Konig Ultraform (flow/rotary forged), looking at: 19x9 ET35/25 and 19x10.5 ET40. Can also do 19x8.5 ET35/45 in the front or 19x9.5 ET35/45 in the rear.

Currently looking at maybe General G-Max RS in 255/35-19 front and 295/30-19 rear. That's the OEM rear on the front (661.1 mm) and 659.6 mm on the rear. I'm doing Ark springs (~1 inch drop). Am I better off doing 245/35-19 and 285/30-19? Want to avoid rubbing first, widest tires possible second. Well, and save some $$ obviously - the Konigs are around $250/wheel.

Any thoughts?

You're making me want a white GT2

See I told you

I did black plasti-dip and glossifier on mine.
