My Baby Has New Shoes

[NA_Goodness]

Hey all,

Just thought I'd share a few photos of my cars new rims. I wanted some cheap rims to last me for a few months until I sell the car, so when I found these for $800 of this forum, I was happy to have them. I need to lower the car now, so that'll be the next thing, but let me know what you think. I'm going to get them powder coated soon, so I'm open for suggetions as to colours.

dude looks great...

lets go get you some cheap springs in the meantime though eh

awesome

[chunda]

Glad u like them!

The offset looks good/they hang out inline with the guards. They did also on the 180.

Get the thing down on its ring now lol

[Trent04]

Factory NA's came with 4 studs..

On its arse.. it needs it..

I like it white..

Gunmetle grey looks very good an silver cars too!..

Could take a risk and go bronze?.. that wouldnt be too bad..

Block goes with everything..

[DNGRUS]

looks much better than b4! But u need to lower it

[Mr Eps]

have you tried cleaning them? just a suggestion...

[POLICE]

I liked Michael Jackson b4 he was black

[inthisglass]

looks way better mate

gun metal grey would look good, also bronze

now dump its ass

[NA_Goodness]

Yeh, I'm scared to go around corners, becaue the centre on gravity is like a 4WD!! And yes, I need to wash them, but I was so excited to get them that I just wanted 2 get them on.

Big thanks to Fei Sti Rex (Andrew) for finding them, AND going to get them for me! Thanx man, I owe you big time now!! And Chunda, thanks for doing the 5-stud conversion!!

I'm not sure if I want to paint the rims now! It off-sets the car nicely. I was thinking metalic gun metal grey. Something dark, but not black. I'll do some photoshopping and see how me go.

Next up is the new exhaust and cat, then lower it. Maybe a body kit and fibreglass bonnet? Dunno yet. Damn Andrew!! You have put too many ideas into my head!!

Angle grinder spec. Failing that, King Springs are cheap.

Paint them red.

[ali-turko]

black on silver cars look tuff, look at the ztune for example

[adam-__-]

The wheel and tyre package looks crazy undersized. Is that normal?

[NA_Goodness]

It needs to be dumped on its arse, the 4WD height probs doesnt help. It does look small, but i think when its dumped it will look bigger. Any ideas on cheap kits? I was thinking Trust front bar, with VIVA Type 3 side skirts and rear bar.

[inthisglass]

how big are the rims?

they look like 16's to me

[KezR33]

Leave them silver, or go gun metal gray.

Very hot BTW, like Enkei RP03, only cheaper.

[NA_Goodness]

They're 17in, altho they do look smaller . I think they are Enkei. Thats what the add said anyway. Either way, they look cool. A bit dirty, but cool!

How low are they mate? and wot do I need to do 2 clean it up?

[Pal]

think they will give you about a fingers gap between tyre and guard. a good sanding to get all the old paint off, then a quick spray.
