So i bought these rims, $150 all 4, with tires, but they were all over sized and shot. So i went out, ordered me some new Falken FK452s, got the wheels sandblasted, and painted with engine enamle. So for all in all not even $550, not a bad looking set huh?
  Now, just gotta replace 2 of my calipers (1 the bleeder is rusted and fused to the caliper, and the other one the retaining bolt is sheered off half way inside of it) and then gonna paint em all red again, and ill be good to go. UPDATE: go lower *new rims on* This post has been edited by Valo666: Aug 3, 2006 - 11:13 PM |

Very nice bro! I just did something similar, I need new rubber (14" steelies, lol) so I bought some 15" GT rims, painted black, with 75% tread tires off this forum. They're in the mail now, can't wait to get 'em on!

So, i love these rims, but...they are kinda..meh. The colour suits the car, but im not 100% on the actuall style of the rims. So, im at work looking for something i like through some of the companies i like. Looked through Fast Co. Rims, didnt like any thing, American Racing/Motegi Racing...didnt like any thing really. So i was kinda gettin pissed off, so my friend showed me this brand that American racing makes, that ive never heard of before. They are called Riax. Took a look on their website, found a nice looking rim. Checked my cost..$86 each!!!!
 So just want some imput on them and see if maybe some one could work some photoshop magic. so...

   So, there be the first pics of the new rims..and yes..they are silver..oh wait..sorry.."Hyper Black"...NO!...american racing said they call "hyperblack", also chromium black and super silver. Super silver yes. Oh well, they look pretty good. They have a O.Z.-ish look to them. Not bad for $400 for the wheels eh? Opinions??...more pics tomorrow when its light out. |
