Onyx, you were right...

[Steve-Oh]

I got the "new" rims in the mail the other day. Same finish as the old one's but now they are perfect again. The one rear wheel had a chip in it that really bothered me. Never the less I got some Saleen center caps which I'm finding out don't fit on the 10" wides so let the modifications begin for that. New front tires and I'm good to roll (once the trans is done though). :crazy2: Originally I was going to get black chrome Saleen's but after seeing Danielle's car I decided that it wasn't the look I was going for.

So I stand corrected Onyx lol! They look exactly the same! Deep down inside though I really wanted them to be the same.

heh, that's decent man. I think they look sick, i just need to bite the bullet and buy them already. Then getting tires for them will bend me over but oh well. The finish does look sick, though...

 

[Javi]

good stuff

 

[Steve-Oh]

JUST DO IT!!! it might hurt the wallet a little but you'll love yourself later!!! Here's a better one of the 315's mounted. Still haven't gotten the front tires yet and the car isn't back together yet so i'm in no rush:

 

[Red96GT]

Did you get 4 new ones and what are you doing with the old ones?

 

[Fets]

Wait you got 4 new rims which are the same as the old?

 

[AaRoN]

Wait you got 4 new rims which are the same as the old?

Different finish.

 

[94darkhorse]

Good choice! I was depressed when you sold your other ones.

he just said they are the same as the old ones.


Steve how much were those 315s? I was leaning towards 295s for the rear unless i can find a deal on some 315s...

 

[Steve-Oh]

Yes, they are basically the same finish as the old ones! Bare with me I'm strange :crazy2:


Red: Yeah I got four new ones and I sold the other set a few weeks ago.


Onyx: I bought the 315's for $229 a tire back in December (they were on a special on Tire Rack). I just looked now and they are back up to $429 a tire :nonono:.

 

[OnyxCobra]

hah, u know I remember seeing them back then for that cheap since I'm always looking at the prices and shit. I didn't want to buy them because I didn't know which wheels i wanted for sure yet but now i'm kicking myself :wall:

the 315 BFG DRs are cheaper than that and they are better...

I have issues with BFG DR's

My old one's dry rotted maybe 2 years into owning them.

 

[rgs]

ive never ran the bfg's so i can't really say much comparison wise. but i am on my second set of 555r's and i absolutely love them!

 

[OnyxCobra]

Yeah I like my 555Rs also but 305 is really an incorrect size for 18" wheels and the 285s are too narrow for the look I want, and they are just overpriced in the 18" sizes I think.


Steve you must be doing something wrong if those DRs last you two years
