I couldnt take it anymore I missed chrome
Thursday, December 28, 2006 2:25 PM
After deciding not to sell my car afterall, I figured the reason I wasnt too fond of my car anymore is cause of the "flower" wheels. So I decided to go back to chrome. I just wanna see what people think, though I know the majority werent fans of the previous wheels.
I ordered new 22s yesterday, from a company called Gio Wheels. Anyone lookin at getting larger diameter wheels on their Js should seriously look into this company. The wheels I'm running are 20x7 +34mm offset for the front and 22x7.5 +34mm offset for the rear.
Here are the wheels.

I just had to see what chrome looked like on my car since I've never had chrome on my car with this paint scheme, so I borrowed my friends Arelli Ghensu 22s and tried them out.

Here are the old wheels, that the girlfriend now owns.


Opinions everyone? Just wanna hear what people think.

I still have the 19" Hagens on my ride, they are almost 4years old now. I love em too, but some new wheels would be sweet, then my 03 could INHERIT the Hagens!

Is your hood alright?





Re: I couldnt take it anymore I missed chrome

yeah my hood is fine. When the car was in for paint we notched the hinge a bit and now it can go all the way back.
And Laffs, I was trying to sell it but not aggresively. Had a couple offers, but nothing materialized so I decided to keep it and push the '36 back since its going to take a while to build anyway.

Jeff...Okay...WTF man. You didn't tell me you were keeping the car and on top of that getting new rims...You are one crazy mofo buddy!

Honestly, I'm glad to see you're keeping the fire around. You put so much effort into that beast it would have been a sad sight to see it leave your hands.
So are you still going with the '36 still?

The new wheels look way better, IMO. 22's are very heroic on a j-body. Around here, people would get bamboozled seeing a j-body on 22's.

And he comes out of left field, lol I know when we were talking last night on MSN that rim manufacturer is awesome 22x7.5s talk about a weird rims size but I think the chrome looks 100x better. Hmmmm I beleive I told you that when you and I were looking for the original set of 22's last year. lol

Hey Jeff, car looks good man....I still have your lusso's hahaha. I still owe colin a few bucks for them...im sure he thinks I died or something by now, but i didnt forget about him. Chrome is the way to go with that car for sure....not really big on the 22's but sick either way.
