I got some rims for my car thought i'd share some pics i took after i washed it today. I used my Palm to take the pics so they're not the best. My near future plans are some rust repair and Tein coilovers. Let me know what u guys think.

Looks like it, Didn't know the paint was scraped that bad on them.

Looks good though!

yep they are and i'll prob end up paintin them black or gunmetal when it gets a little warmer

yay. thanks again for getting them.

your very welcome

IDK, After seeing them bronze for so long, I think that is the only color that will work on them for me haha.

Besides, there is nothing better than an indigo blue Z on bronze wheels.

do the have the caps? is you shaft just sticking out to car for it to fit?

looks pretty good with the colour.

Yeah i might leave then that color but just repaint them not sure yet



http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3877823

those wont ever look right on any car other then vince's

there's no center cap and yeah the shaft sticks out of the fronts

not a fan of the bronze.. would definately dig them in black or gunmetal.

Gunmetal would look awesome, I like your car a lot, the paint seems to be in great shape, the lighting makes the color look a little different, is it the standard Indigo blue metallic?

the tails are kinda iffy and it could stand to get some lips on it, but I think this is a great start.

The 2nd pic is why I would leave them bronze.

Yeah its standard indigo prob the picture quality and i'm gonna lightly smoke the tail lights cause i don't like them very much either lol and also front and rear lips will be in the future too. I also have tint in my room just need to put it on when it gets a little warmer and i have motor mounts and and a shift plus on the way too.

Smoked tail lights, they're a little too dark i'm gonna buff them down a little though


This little problem is my next project

man, black gloss rims. That would drive me crazy. I would have to clean them every day.

everything looks good so far!

I actually like them gloss black. thats the one color I never got around to trying. I like them. Get that cancer fixed and you are all set!

^^^^^^^^^

Lovin' the black on blue, that rust i have also, took the lazy way and just sprayed over it for now so its alot less noticable

Black looks much better
