New Rims = Happy Brad

shadesofnight · 07-14-2005, 02:26 PM

The UPS man arrived today, I'll get pics up of them on the car when I get my hub rings in.

They were $450 w/ tires... so they are a little worn...

That's the only significant damage I could find, and I can definetely live with that. They just need a lil sprucin' up, and they are good to go! Im pretty pumped because I didnt think Id ever come across a good enough deal for me to buy rims, but

UNCTYPE-S · 07-14-2005, 05:40 PM

Hodge · 07-14-2005, 09:03 PM

, thats pretty sad.

Yea, I know they are pretty much the standard rim, but that doesnt mean they are ugly. I pretty much want my car to look like Kyle-SC/T's, I dont care if thats being a copy-cat, its just a smooth azz looking ride.

As for my foot, sorry, I was getting ready for work when they came and I was a bit excited and wanted to post pics immediately. Pretty childish really, considering everyone knows what they look like, but I was just happy they werent completely thrashed for the price I payed. Anyway, it does look like I have 4 toes, Ive broken that pinky toe about 1,000 times and its not a handsome toe.

For the rest of you... Hodge, very true. The rest are in real good shape, its just that one thats a bit rough. As for the specs, they are 18X8 5X114.3, w/ 245/40ZR/18 tires. 2 Nittos and 2 Yokohamas. Price was $550 w/ shipping. I hear those tires are too wide and have an effect on the speedometer accuracy, but thats okay. I can always improve the situation later on.

Like I said though, I'll post pics of them on as soon as I get the hub rings and a chance to get out to my old work to take advantage of the hydro lift.

coolGT · 07-14-2005, 09:59 PM

nice looking rims none the less especially on a black gt. Yeah you might want to go down in tire size to something like 235/40/18 later on. Good find though! Let's see them bad boys on the car now.

GTracer86 · 07-14-2005, 10:23 PM

i agree on that...lets see!!

laxjax13 · 07-14-2005, 10:53 PM

those look sweet on black

DrFabulous · 07-14-2005, 10:57 PM

For the price, damn good wheels. Who cares if everyone has them on this site? How many people in your area have them? Probably not many. It'll look hot on your car. Good work.

Rich · 07-15-2005, 01:37 PM
