Re:new wheels
 
hey looks good for 180!

You should paint the inside black with a polished lip, that ---- would look sicker than slips!

i agree they would look in black with a polished lip.
i polished my lip by putting the front on jackstands
and letting it idle in first while holding some 400 grit sandpaper
on the lip, then progressively moving up to 2000
then mother alum. polish came, out looking almost like chrome.

OMG, why the ---- didnt I think of doing that, throw the car on jack stands and just get em spinning, ---- I spent atleast 15 hours sanding the ---- out of my slips, but I polished the entire wheel

Thats an awesone idea though, sounds feasable

b00m3r I think you hit it right on the dot!

And bambi, those ssr's look like ass, I'd rather rock those american racing rims. :-\

Re:new wheels
 
they arn't the same. the words and #'s on the inside lipe are different.

AgentMurdoc 02-03-2005 05:02 PM

Re:new wheels
 
yeah I noticed the words in the inside too, but they are still the same to me, who know maybe they redesigned the rims and transfered those words to the inside of the rims. We all know that a good percentage of the time, the stock photo isn't exactly like the product.

what about the rear ;)

by the way they look good, would look better painted like they say, black or bronze, depending on your car's color
