New shoes for the ride

[protegeV]

Im sure most of you will recognize these rims. I bought them off of someone on the forum. Probably gonna have them Powdercoated since now its just paint on them. ALso need some new tires since the front two are worn and the rear two are totally different brands(lol2). But they'll do for now.

I took these pics last night at 2am, at the brightest place I could find...the carwash. More pics when I get home from work hopefully

time to change the sig.

sweet. kinda hard to see but nice. Let me know what size tires you need and what kind you want and ill see if i can get you a deal on them

 

[protegeV]

well one of the rims has a new Kumho 711 on it, so Im just gonna get 3 more. Found em for $51/each at tirerack in 205/40/17

 

[protegeV]

and yeah, I know they're hard to see...In fact, anyone slightly skilled in photography will probably notice I messed with the levels and the brightness/contrast bcuz originally the rims were so dark you couldnt even make out the spokes.

I'll try to get some daytime pics today after work

(werd)Im gonna change it once they are powdercoated the way I want them

[protegeV]

so thats a yes that u got them from mp5jeff ( sry just REALLLY early and im tired)

 

[protegeV]

haha...(werd)=yes

 

[EviLMaN]

lol they USED to be white then all of a sudden he went gangster and spray painted them lol

 

[protegeV]

I know, I saw the pics of them...I HATE white with a passion. I can see why he did it. Flat black spray paint is still better than white powdercoat(lol2)

 

[protegeV]

but the paint doesnt hold up too well and flat black is sorta, blah.

Im gonna get these done either a dark gunmetal or possibly dark bronze.

 

[MP5Raycer]

i was gonna say it looks like you messed with it .. the car almost looks like it has a hint of line to it lol .. or the contrast was adjusted .. looking good .. i like that wing BTW looks good

 

[protegeV]

thanks, I get lots of compliments on it

Ouch, fluorescent lighting does not flatter the yellow

Yeah, I'd be curious to see them in daylight. ProtegeV, aren't you the one that stuck your friend's RX8's rims on? I'm guessing you decided against that.

Anyway, looks good.

 

[protegeV]

nah, I put my friends mazda3 17s on...the tires were too big and they rubbed pretty bad.
The only tire that rubs is the right rear and only a TINY bit, so Im gonna roll the fender slightly...Cant figure out why the left rear doesnt rub(uhm)
