7gc gt-s wheels!, got some Options

[96bluevert]

ok, mabey I wont get them then. Besides, the wheels look better w/out the center caps . They have tires and are now on the car, pics to come soon! question though...Since I don't have center caps, will the weather and elements of outside do any type of harm to the spark plugs in the center of the wheels?

spark plugs? never heard them called that. anyway, the threads or nut might rust up a bit, but it shouldn't be an issue until you go to change an axle and even then it shouldn't be that bad.

That's what they look like, spark plugs, not sure of the correct name though..but rust wouldn't stop them from functioning or slow down thier power output at all?

hub nut, axle spline, axle end. I guess whatever you want to call it. I'm pretty sure it won't do anything besides make it really hard to remove the nut. which doesn't really need to come off unless removing the axle.

alright, well the CV joints were just replaced last year, so I shouldn't need to replace the axles anytime soon. thnks

looks good

again, it won't be impossible to get off, you'll just need to spray it with a bunch of PB blaster before taking a whack at it and it'll be really tight.

anyway, I think you should still get the center caps, just do some research to make sure you get the right ones.

Was looking at these center caps on ebay for the gt-s wheels since they didn't come with any. Are these the right ones? I'm pretty sure I just want to be possitive before I bid on them.

Also I'm getting some GoodYear Eagle GT tires for them today so they'll be on the car soon

they look like they are the right ones to me but i'm not sure what the dimensions are.

That's the right ones. And they look way better with them but thats just IMO.

Just won the center caps in the link I posted earlier. $27 shipped beats $17-$55 per cap (not including tax) anyday. Just thought I'd share that, and I even have a little mod planned for the center caps when I get them that will add a nice touch to them

Gonna paint the Toyota symbol? I tried it's a bitch. I did manage to get rid of the pink [that's right - it's not red] circle around the circumference.

[96bluevert]

yep, changing the red (or pink) circle to blue. How'd you get it off?

[DEATH]

A sponge that has that green abrasive side and a whole lot of elbow grease. Expect each one to take a 1/2-1 hour. Painting the circle will be diff cause it's so smoothed out it's hard to find a line to use.

alright well time and persistance I have, so it should be a nice little project Thanks.
