Finally got my rims on...

Nessuno3400 · 06-07-2005, 11:19 PM

I finally put my rims on about a week ago...let me know what u guys think....

Next I'm gonna paint my calipers, and get lowering springs (hopefully next month after I buy my new system).

tonystewart · 06-08-2005, 12:07 AM

I love black rims. F'n mean looking.

KeyserSosa2000 · 06-08-2005, 03:22 PM

/\/\Agreed. I think you should tint your tails, that would set the car off perfectly.

Braves299 · 06-08-2005, 04:22 PM

Looks great! I think you need to lose whatever that is thats in front of your front wheel though.. Something blue but I can't tell...

Rich · 06-08-2005, 04:28 PM

kind of looks like a side blinker.

RAZE · 06-08-2005, 05:18 PM

The color scheme is no good and the wheels need a polished lip.

JWeavis · 06-08-2005, 05:43 PM

The blue is a overlay on the 3400 I believe.

I like the black rims, the first pic makes them look really small on the car though, not sure why. They look right in the second pic...

Twisted_Reality · 06-08-2005, 06:35 PM

The rims look good, don't like the blue overlays though maybe another color would look a bit better.

Below that, on the bumper.

Looks Good.Time for a Drop!

michslpgt · 06-08-2005, 08:32 PM

Looks good man. I suggest paint them calipers bright silver and drop it!

AMRAAM4 · 06-08-2005, 08:55 PM

looks good.

lowering springs are more important than the damn stereo. A radio is already in the car to listen to for a bit longer...retarded 4x4 look on aftermarket wheels cannot.

Bob, you never fail to make me laugh out loud.

Nessuno3400 · 06-08-2005, 09:17 PM

yea, color scheme will eventually be gone....it was an idea I had before I decided to buy the rims...shaving my badges sometime soon and I was actually also considering tinting my tails...not sure how to go about tinting them tho...I kno the spray on stuff, but spray it on the outside, or open them up and spray on the inside...my only concern is the red reflectors

Rich · 06-08-2005, 11:39 PM

the thing on his front bumper is a borla sticker. check his car domain. yeah i think it would look better off. kind of ruins the flow. thats just my .02

shadesofnight · 06-08-2005, 11:49 PM

I guess Im not really a fan of black rims unless they have a chrome lip. Looks cheap, like fancy spares, but thats just my take.

Ditch the badges and stickers and its still a sweet ride though. Oh, and the tinted tails would really top it off nicely. If youre skeptical on that, check out whats goin on here:

Who's interested in a Taillight Film Kit for their 99-04 GA

I havent really read the thread because Im not interested, but could be of interest to you if you havent check it out already.

Like everyone said, color scheme is a bit off. The wheels make the car look "dirty" without that chrome lip. Other than that, nice lookin' car. Do the tails and get rid of those badges, lower that biatch and you are ready to rock 'n' roll

RaGePsYch0 · 06-09-2005, 09:43 AM

i second all that was said.

06-10-2005, 11:09 AM

imo theblack would look good on a black car, and the only thing that looks nice on the silver car is chrome rims since it shines and doesnt blend in like a plane alloy rim would be...But that could just be because I like shiny things

Kdawg207 · 06-10-2005, 11:18 AM

nice....now debadge
