Got rid of the chrome, new wheels

[sanblaster]

I got rid of the chrome for many reasons. Anyways I bought some new wheels (Motegi MR17's) and tires (Goodyear Eagle's) and brakes for the car. One of my center caps came broken so I am awaiting a new one and my drums are red because my calipers were red but since I bought new brakes I will eventually paint the drums black since they look goofy now. A drop of about 2" may come next year if I decide to still keep the car. One of the uncles said he would help me. Talked about a spindle drop so that the suspension would stay the same. Anyways hope you likey.

I dunno, I think the rims stood out more before. I'm not a fan of black rims. Just looks like a big opening, can tells where the rim ends and the tire begins.

Maybe chrome wasn't the best, but I think that a brushed silver color would have looked the best.

I'm going with "gunmetal" as the color.

Ditto. maybe its the dark colored rims on your car that doesn't do it for me, but then again I relly don't care for those rims.

Thanks for looking and thanks for the comments guys and gals. I figured anything NOT chrome would be better then what I had. Nothing but problems with them since I purchased them a few years ago. And I have to repaint those drums now...
