Looks great! Very clean.

This would be my first time saying this to anyone, though; that really needs to be lowered!

I will get some pics up after I get a chance to clean first. A little bit of dirt on the front from driving it home. And it is ready for a good coat of wax.

I am prolly just gonna hold off a little while and just get stance or Tein coil overs. I don't thinking buying springs is really the way to go. My rims are bronze so there not exactly the same. They are sick rims someone else is bound to have them.

Nice lookin rims PB

We need to try and find a date when everyone can make it to have a big meet well not big but im sure theres like 10 of us on here that we could get together if we plan it right.

I wish I had more money or no car payments either one would be nice. I want rims and a million other things.

And quick question for you guys what does everyone think will look better. If i paint the OEMs black or polish them so they are like you know polished aluminium? Already started sanding them so keeping them the stock color is not an option.

I wouldn't do black wheels... from a distance it just looks like a void. I wouldn't polish either. Stock chrome/polished 8 wheels look tacky. Not to mention the work involved. I polished a set of IROC wheels... wasn't fun. Paint them the shinka color and then have them cleared.

I hate the look of painted stock wheels i think it looks ugly...if you want a different wheel look then buy a different wheel lol just my opinion..i think the stock wheel itself looks 20 times better than a painted one
