*night pics, post #31* new wheels are on!

[atlanticblue98]

well some little middle school punk thought it would be funny to puncture my old tire with a roofing nail the other day. so instead of buying a new tire for the 15's i thought it would be a great opportunity for some cheap wheels.

bought these for $150 with all four tires, they are almost brand new

Re: new wheels are on!

Nice! I want those wheels too. Spacers will make a huge difference. I just got 1.25 spacers for mine and it looks 10x better, but id go 1.5in if I were you.

Looks like it could use a 5% tint job as well!

the tint has faded over 12 years lol

i have a lifetime warranty and i work at a car wash that has a window tinting service. the guy will redo it there for me. im not going to go with 5%, but i'll go about 5% darker than legal

Re: new wheels are on!

True, I have 5% all around and 35% on the windshield and I love it.

I've always loved those wheels. They accent your car perfectly! Nice execution bro.

Looks good, now have the weights take off the outside, it looks tacky. It's just one small thing that can be done.

You probably already know this, but dont just "take them off" or you're likely going to have some balance/vib issues. Take them into a reputable tire shop and ask them to rebalance them and keep all the weights on the inside - if possible. I've done that with both sets of rims I have. Much cleaner look, although yours don't look to bad.

Very nice change!

I have a set of these sitting in my garage that I don't use, and probly never will.

Is that really worth 40 bux though. If so, giver. lol

I didn't notice them either.

Re: new wheels are on!

you should look into painting the inner spokes black... similar to jmstang66, it looks awesome. Definitely better look though. Nice man.

Re: new wheels are on!

Someone did that to me many many years ago and now every time I see an Awesome picture of a great car, it's the one thing that stands out and makes me go... "Ehh, could be better." But your car does look great!
