    G55 Build

    Sorry for the lack of updates, I'm in the middle of moving from LA to Portland! re: brake clearance - the naturally aspirated G55's use the same brakes as the G500 so no issues with 17's. However, the Braid's are a motorsports wheel and are built with larger racing brake in mind so the inner...

    G55 Build

    No drilling required....clamps to the gutter at the top and the bottom uses hook and loop pads to keep the ladder from moving around. I've used it 10x already...so far so good!

    G55 Build

    I picked a 2003 G55 several months ago from Hawaii with 60k miles on the clock. The deal seemed too good to pass up and I bought it based on pictures from the internet ad. It was a rough start, but it's getting close to being where I wanted it. I took the LA subway (yes, there is a subway...

    what new wheels to get?

    If you want more wheel options, I would look into Braid wheels. They make a 16" and 17" rally raid wheel that you can custom spec (offset, center bore, etc) and it only takes three-four weeks from order to delivery. I just received a set of 17" Winrace Dakar wheels. They weigh 32 pounds per...
