Installed Magnuson and Vossen wheels!
 

So I've had a busy winter so far spending entirely too much money on this car. I worked a deal with Vossen to get into a set of their custom forged wheels for a considerable price break. They are their newest wheel from a new forged line they are building called the HC-1. They are 21x9.5 and 21x11 with 265/35 and 305/30 Pirelli tires. I opted for the upgraded brushed aluminum finish, with a Dark Smoke Transparent powdercoat finish. As many of you know, I've had quite a few custom wheels now, but this set really is absolutely perfect in finish and quality. I even made friends on Instagram with an employee in the Vossen shop that sent me over 30 videos of the entire process of my wheels getting manufactured and finished - it was really badass. I posted a number of them on my Instagram - @AbsolutHank13


Around the same time I placed the order for my wheels, an opportunity came up with a local tuner shop that I use for all my wheel mounting/balancing and tint. I reached out to the owner since I knew he had recently installed a Magnuson SC on a Tundra. He currently had two other customers about to pull the trigger on ordering Magnuson's for their vehicles, and if I were to purchase a kit for my car, those three purchases at once would allow him to become an official reseller for Magnuson. He agreed to sell me my kit at his cost, and he would eat the sales tax and shipping! I figured I'd never run across a deal like that again, so I ordered the full intercooled kit. I'm still on their supplied tune and haven't even hit the dyno yet - they advertise 550whp on 91 octane for the manual transmission cars. I hope to add a smaller pulley and maybe methanol to get close to 600whp next month. I also added a Corsa Axleback and new X pipe to get rid of the raspy NPP factory setup. I grabbed a few pictures of the new setup earlier today

Looks sharp!

Whats the weight of those wheels?

You know I'm not sure, but they are forged monoblock construction, so damn light :)

Very clean. Diggin it.
Nice job.

Yeah, very nicely done.......

Great pics rims look great

Man they take up the wheel gap GREAT!!!!!! How much for the SET up

That's the only mod I would do. Enuff said.

Hank, that thing is really bitchin looking. Isn't the Maggie pretty stellar? Have you had yours on the dyno yet or was the 550 just advertised? Mine made 544-555

Thanks Glen. I appreciate that

Well I'm lowered on BC Coilovers too.

Custom Forged wheels range from $6000-10000, plus tires. I paid somewhere in the middle :)

:bonk: ok yea......That's above my pay grade....lol

Yeah man. Lots of fun so far. I chatted with Ted @ Jannetty about some upgrades soon too:cool:

Hello,

They look great.

Kindest,

Donner

$6000 Maggie

$8000 Wheels

$400 Stillen kit - Awesome:w00t:


Seriously. Incredible looking wheels. Every model you pick looks great.

Looks great! Can you explain the ride and handling Pro's and con's between the factory suspension and BC coilovers while you were on a smaller wheel setup?

Very well done all around. I like the S/C with the Rotofab and the wheels:thumbup:

May I also add that pictures truly do not do this car justice, it is a thing of beauty that you must see in person! And it looks good beside my 1LE haha

Wow. Best wheels so far. Congrats.

Car looks great man, congrats !!!

I went with the FOOSE Look.....8.5 front 10 in the rear.Great price also.....

What bra is this, where did you get it and does it come on/off easily. I am looking for something for long trips to try and keep bugs off of the front end and maybe save a few rock chips.

Haha, thanks. Gimme some more expensive options then :lol:

Would love to hear a sound track of the Corsa and X pipe.....nice set up all around...

Also would love to hear your review on the BC Coilovers

I really,really,really,REALLY like those wheels

I had the BC coilovers on my SC G8GT, they are pretty trick and probably would have went that route if they'd been out when I lowered mine.

Looks great! I love those wheels especially the less surface area for brake dust to accumulate on.

Honestly, I've been pretty happy with the BC Coilovers so far. On all my previous cars, Coilovers made it ride worse. These really smooth out the ride. I do think they allow a little more body roll than stock springs. I've also noticed a tendency to "pogo bounce" while cruising in traffic, around 40mph. Overall though, I'm happy, and they allowed me to get the front of the car much lower than with lowering springs.

I've got a few clips on my IG

By FAR the cleanest and nicest looking 6th gen Camaro.

very nice ride

What is the displacement of the SC?

High praise...Thanks a lot!:thumb:

The Magnuson is 2.3L

those wheels look amazing on your Camaro!!! glad to see a Camaro with the vossen wheels i actually might consider getting in the future. im speechless

Thanks brotha!

Love the dry filter on white cars!
