Yeah your taste not mine. No biggie! Some are 50/50 on mine till they see them all the way on the car. Aaron I think doesnt like them at all. But oh well. :) I love them.


They look fine on your car. They look better on a dark color. They just aren't the color/style I would pick for my car.

Not busting your balls but get the other 2, we need some outdoor pictures.

Thanks guys! Glad you approve so far. I know I need two more. I also have alot of things to do before I actually can move the car. Notice the suspension is out. I just pulled the axles today. They will be sent in soon for new boots.

They sure look small, but I think it's because of how big the other ones looked. I like 'em ok, cross my fingers for ya that they don't sell out and you're stuck bicycling it on 2 wheels

sleepyalero 01-12-2014 09:19 PM

Ive biked to work before coop. And doubt it will. Lol but they are 18x8 wheels. I think it just the pic.

bricooper78 01-12-2014 09:21 PM

Yea, you're right, chrome looks bigger, it's the whole white vs black thing, just looks bigger. I meant driving it on 2 wheels tho lol

Something that may look REALLY stupid, but might look ok, I can't make up my mind, what if you found blue lugs that matched your stripe? I think it may be too much going on, but then again, it might look kinda cool... maybe

sleepyalero 01-12-2014 09:32 PM

Hmm idk... depends on how blue the are really... it might look r!cey or look good. I might try it... but idk. 10% I will 90% I wont.

On a side note. The blue calipers look good inside the wheel :)

TDavis 01-12-2014 09:36 PM

R!cey isn't the correct term, would be tacky or gaudy. There is nothing racing inspired about lug nuts lol, I bought some black ones for my wheels once they get put back on.

I think they look small because the car is partly in the air, which brings the wheel gap up.

I know if I put my car up on jackstands the wheels hang down they tend to look smaller as well.

They look like wheels for a newer maxima. Not bad what so ever. I like it much better. More of a grown up look than the other wheels.

TDavis 01-12-2014 10:22 PM

Also looks like the wheels off some of the new Focus'

I agree on the maxima wheels! I actually told some people thats what they look like.

And also the rear is all the way on the ground.

MAC the KNIFE 01-13-2014 04:39 AM

Technically that depends on what lug nuts you buy. There are lug nuts meant for performance. The longer open end ones that are meant to use on extended wheel studs for more thread engagement and strength. They also make them out of titanium and forged aluminum to make them lighter for people looking to loose every ounce of unsprung weight possible. But yeah, most people just buy them for looks.

One thing I love about silver metallic...it hardly ever looks dirty!

bricooper78 01-14-2014 02:43 PM

Yay silver!!!

I was finally about to get the Chrisms stuffs out of the ground, been froze in, and it went from sunlight to snow falling in about 3 minutes. The wind is about enough to blow ya over out there.

Turrble, just turrble.

Tell me about it. I ran it through a free wash about 5 weeks ago, it's been sitting outside since... but it looks like it just got washed yesterday.

Spruce Green Metallic is better..last time my car was washed was a few years ago (I seriously stopped giving a sh!t after my second run in with "nature" in the "winter wonderland" that is the midwest)..and occasionally people will ask me what wax I use on it..lol


Seriously, you guy's don't want to see how my car currently sits..mechanically she's fine..but the body..yikes!
