what do you guys think? yay or nay? im liking this on my car very much! =)

stockers with powdercoated centers

Nice. I was a fan of your car to begin with. The orange and tint work well with that color. Now just clear those headlights (vinyl, ebay ones, or cover mod) and do a moulding overlay.

boost21 · 10-11-2005, 08:23 PM

noooo hes winterizing

....i will be soon, if i didnt have chrometeks i would paint mine the same...looks good

SC/TGrandAm · 10-11-2005, 08:23 PM

They look too small. What was the whole idea of going from some good looking aftermarket wheels to these?

chill03sct · 10-11-2005, 08:23 PM

im getting the black ones off ebay, gonna take my fogs apart spray tint the chrome backing and do some tinting work with the rear lights and backups as well. that and the sct lip on the front will look great

chill03sct · 10-11-2005, 08:24 PM

oh yea, mine are the chrometechs, it can be done.

Get the whole kit if anything at all. Bits and pieces look very bad and out of place.

CUSTOMGAGT2000SEDAN · 10-11-2005, 09:35 PM

i like them . seen them on a red gagt also. if you don ' t plan on going bigger . then go for it

chill03sct · 10-11-2005, 09:39 PM

im wanting the front lip only right now. i like the rest of the kit dont get me wrong, but im still going for performance first while keeping a clean look on the car. i may get the whole kit one day we will see. i figure if people say hey do more appearance wise, i can just happily say look at the paint in any light and you wont see a swirl or hair line scratch. its completely clean! =) and i love it that way

HiFiCarGuy · 10-11-2005, 10:19 PM

Stealing my idea huh? Looks good.

GregFarz78 · 10-12-2005, 04:24 AM

no it won't.

If your all-around look now doesn't include the buddy club wheels, and this black powder coated sh1t isn't just for winter......congrats on destroying the car. If I was looking to cheapen my monthly car payments and still have a nice car, I actually considered yours when you were selling it. Not now I wouldn't....

I think the rims look very nice, I definately admire them. I think that if you painted the actual lip itself black or had some kind of CF overlay on it, it would look super sweet.

yay... i saw these wheels on hifi's car and loved them, i'm tackling pinting mine this weekend if i can get enough time off, i'm doing mine in gunmetal.... not too familiar with powdercoating so i'll offer no opinions.... overall, they look good

Exodus · 10-12-2005, 06:42 AM

I dont use this word EVER, but your car is DOPE!!!!!!

5-lO · 10-12-2005, 10:07 AM

If its for winterization, good move. If its going from nice rims to those, bad move you lose.

Powdercoatinig is just a more durable way of painting. Supposedly the Duplicolor paint I used is supposed to chip (although mine still look perfect after 4 months of abuse down dirt roads, and such). It'll yeild the same appearance, just more durable and much more expensive. Chill, I say do it. Be different....and trade me wheels!

well every one has there own opinions my man. and the buddy clubs have been gone for a long time now, they looked like crap to me, they were not black they were the gunmetal, didnt look good. im going to get 18's black with polished lip this is a winterizing move. congrats on destroying the car? haha to you... i was going to sell to get a yellow m6 gto and go with the black on yellow theme, but i chose not to as i dont feel the need to get rid of this car ever.

to everyone that does like the look, thanks very much. alot of time has gone into preserving the car the way it is, i guess the hard work payed off!

Hodge · 10-12-2005, 01:39 PM

I wish those buddy clubs came in black, (correct me if i'm wrong if they do) but I REALLY loved those wheels on ur car, but for winter, that looks good.
