[QUOTE="KillNThrill24, post: 1072806, member: 16906"] I know I know yet another wheel thread. Ontop of other things that have been going on I was at my buddy Brian's today for a minute and he pulled out his 95 R's from under his car. Don't worry hes not 4x4'n lol its up on jackstands. They're 17x9 and 17x10.5 and they're legit R's with the 2.25" centercaps. He said he'll sell em to me tires and all, which are Nexen N7000's which arent the best but they are almost brand new, for $300. He also doesn't care when I get him the money cuz he's that kinda guy. Now for the reason's why he want's to sell them to me so cheap. He had them plastidipped awhile back then took it off, so the chrome is all scuffed from sanding I think. I don't know if that's exactly why but they could definitely use refinishing. Issue 2 is the inside of the wheel. With age, it's like any other chrome rim (my Camaro's did the same thing) the inside is peeling/chipping off or whatever you wanna call it. That I could just scrape off I'm sure and not have to deal with it again. And finally the center caps have circular holes in them. I didn't ask him why, don't really care why, but they are there. Maybe the sticker logo came off? Not sure I'll find out tho. So what do you guys think? I could refinish them, or I could paint them black. Question is, would it be a sin to paint real R's black lol? I like the chrome and all, but chrome just isn't my thing. And having a silver car with solid chrome rims... It's just too much lol. What do you guys think? Should I get them? Won't be till January or February I'm sure since I have no money to spare right now, but I'd like to reserve them as mine should I want them. Any sweet pix you guys can find of either color, or even just yay or nay's would help! [/QUOTE]
