Got them for a great price. I always wanted a set and now I have some, what car are they going on? My imaginary car with 4 wheels 2 seats and an intercooler, nothing else.

Re:Looky what I picked up today!
 
I wish they were HX rims :-\ But I am happy with these 13" VX's, for now.

Dibble- tires are gonna be the only bitch. They have some nice potenzas on there now, so it's currently okay. Maybe in the future I'll slap on some Sumitomo or falken 512 tires.

Murdizzle>> what did you pay for yours?? I got mine for $50(can) :-*

Re:Looky what I picked up today!
 
djfob- yeah I'm trying to gather stuff together that I could actually keep. Hopefully I will have another CRX or a 92-95 Civic hatch soon, I really want the EH hatch though, had a few CRX's maybe it's time for an EH :P


Spoon fed- I'm a greedy asian, I want your VX's too!
By the way here is a pic of the HX rims, it's a pic of the stock car which the rims came on stock. Pat (beerbongkicksass) has some better pics though of the rims and of them on his EJ.

stillnoturbo- I'm thinking about making them mini type r's, we'll see soon enough. I wanted to do them bronze too though, but I might just do the white. Depends on the car they are going on I guess.


Spoon fed- since I just noticed you posted again, there is no way i could beat the deal you got :'( So GIMME!

Got these puppies for free from my buddy BoostinLS. I put a set of Mickey Thompson 20.0x8x14's on them. Notice they don't hold air for more than a few days :P Also notice how the rubber compound between slicks and tires differs, these are so much more flexible etc. But aaah, don't notice the messy room. I've got the junkyard bug bad in here... Front ends of cars, engine parts etc... :o

Re:Looky what I picked up today!
 
Spoon fed- I hate you and your girl... I want that car dammit!!! Maybe you should find me a cheap car and deliver it to me ;)


Stillnoturbo- I am really considering white. And a nice little ricey red H, it shouldn't look too shabby. We'll see.


Trance- Nice wheels. I'm actually thinking about getting some Hoosiers for these rims, but I wanna find 2 more before I do, and it would be after I 'finish' the car. And your mess ain't got nuthin' on meh! 8)

Yeah if you call a bone stock CRX rice, it's all out rice.

Thats just one corner... in corner number two we've got unfinished ITB projects old turbo parts, B series manifolds, and all sorts of junk. Hey... now that I've got a digicam I can snap some pics and attempt to sell it all!!! Woo, keep an eye out for the tranceman's sale ;D

AgentMurdoc 11-23-2004 06:00 PM

Re:Looky what I picked up today!
 
haha... at least you have it confined to corners, mine are just all over the place :P

Re:Looky what I picked up today!
 
Come on now, you gotta save a little path to walk through to get out :-X

AgentMurdoc 11-23-2004 06:06 PM

Re:Looky what I picked up today!
 
pathway? you see my pics, to get in the garage I gotta pretend like i'm playing in a jungle gym and start climbing :-\

Re:Looky what I picked up today!
 
Haha ok, You win. I remember the pictures. Actually I just remember there being a hidden stash of money under some magazines and ---- :-X...hhmmm (searches aroind on floor for hidden pot of gold).

Those rims look nice.. I think you made the right choice! :D

Re:Looky what I picked up today!
 
here is some ideas for ya. I tried to polish the lips of mine, but the oxidation was really bad. So I said to hell with it, and did a basecoat of bright silver, and then painted the inner parts a sort of gunmetal. The centers are going black over the winter.
Here they are after the silver
http://www.turbod16.com/album_pic.php?pic_id=2456
http://www.turbod16.com/album_pic.php?pic_id=2456
Here is the first one completed.
http://www.turbod16.com/album_pic.php?pic_id=2457
http://www.turbod16.com/album_pic.php?pic_id=2457

I can't wait to do them in black:) And slicks! Anyone know the price of some slicks to fit these? I come across these rims all the time for sub $200 canadian.
