Nah... I say tint your side markers, lower it, and put some wheels spacers on. That is all.

Sidenote: I;m about a can short on white plastidip, the wheels are coming out ok so far... One got a drip because the nozzle got clogged but I think I can repair it. I'm going ot hunt down some tomorrow at home depot or some auto store. all lowes had was black..

Man, I want to say know but then again your rims are pretty beat up and could use a touch up. But painting them can go really wrong if you do it poorly. What about gun metal color? That color looks good when clean (ahem, shady).

Woot! Hector... If you want I can paint your wheels for you. Just buy the paint, it'll take us about a day to do the whole project.

Dude... Be careful, the rotors are still in good shape. If you pop an apex seal you need to get all new irons, rotors, and housings. As of now you most likely just need new housings.

And that **** is expensive!!!

Anyways let me know when you want to rebuild!

Well if you don't end up pulling it on Saturday I can help you Sunday. FYI, the 8 things listed on the Texas8 shirt are lame.

Just wanted to post this somewhere else...

**** PLASTI-DIP.

I just layered enough on so I could peel it off easier, going the spray paint route like I did with my stock wheel. Except I will be using white paint and a metallic clear coat. should look great.

Yea man... I'm just glad I was smart enough to try it on my wheels before I tired to paint my whole dam car.

Even if it went on evenly and filled in every knock in cranny it still has this weird textured finish.

Plasti-dip gets shadys 5 thumbs down aware. It takes its place next to K&N,weapon-R, and HKS intakes, Tanabe lowering springs, 4 port automatics and anything made by SR motorsports.
