So it starting to get cold and they are opening up all major slopes here in colorado, so its about time to winterize the Z. So i got a a new roof rack for my boards and some pretty sick studded tires to help around. So when i was getting the new tires i was thinking next year i am going to buy new rims for the summer so i can just swap the wheels for the season. Well i figured i get ahead start and although i didn't get new rims i decided to paint the stock Z ones black. I've seen it done before and figured i have a weekend to do nothing so i might as well right! Any way after a lot of prep i mean a lot of prep, adhesion promoter,primer, paint and clear. The look sick in IMO.








P.S. I really suck A@$ at posting pics i''m sorry there not better quality.

mmm yummy tires I wish we could stud ours

Those studs look useless. Are they all worn down?
On another note the rims look dope.

I don't think you know about studded tires those are 2 weeks old.

holy roof rack.. haha

Yeah i didn't know so many other states had laws against it. But i can see why they definetly jack the road up it gets really apparent when you start to head into the mountains from all the semi's with chains and cars with studs.

ive wanted a roof rack for years, but was always worried about damaging the car itself.

looks baller.

its got some VW and JDM onto it.. looks good for the winter season! gotta love those snow tires on snow and ice!

Just threw my snow tires on, 15" steelies! Factory hood back on too, it handles like a$$ now, yay! Time to move to a warmer climate where you only have to own one set of rims.

^ i thought you were ?

All I am saying is they look pretty worn out already. Are they not supposed to stick out past the tire a bit?

when you drive on them, the pressure from the car pushes them out

looks pretty dry there... this is a pic of me on my sled on sunday Nov. 11/07

Damn Sleepy Sunfire im really jealous, it's been way to hot here the past couple days, i want a blizzard.

Oh and ZspeedCav i didn't mean to sound bitchy man sorry. But no there not supposed to protrude to far from the wheel otherwise the roads would just get tore up. If you look at them straight on the studs kind of divit in and the have a single point that pushes back outwards which sticks slightly out from where the rubber on the tire ends. So they stick out just not that much. And like Derric Dumont said when the weight of the car pushes down on the tires they stick a little bit more.

worst thing about here is that is hasn't been cold enough to freeze the lakes and sloughs enough to ride on so you can't get too far with having to skip water
