Show use your rims...

[CARTUNER]

(cool)

I just got new rims a few months ago, but forgive me these pictures were taken during a "transitional" phase. I was in the middle of changing my JT Evo front bumper and WW sides and rear back to stock, as the picture shows I was 1/3 there. Also, about 12 hours before these photos were taken my motor blew, so the car is now in the shop getting a full rebuild with forged internals, all the doo-dads, yadda yadda yadda...

naw dude car wont be running by then, I take it thats importfest? Good luck with that.

On a side note to everyone else, although Im not a big fan of bling on imports, everyone has their own taste and in a community like msprotege.com people should be able to say the like something or not, but dont go off on the guys that have tastes a little different.

Cartuner is a good guy, and he could probably get some people pretty good deals on stuff if you treat him nicely.

There's nothing wrong with chrome really.. Sure some wheels are ugly in everyone's opinion, but it's their car and they can do as they like. At least they're not hubcap spinners.

There are a few styles of chrome wheels that I absolutely love.. And if my P5 was black I may have gotten some chrome wheels too.. Or polished.. either way, shiny. Unfortunately blue just doesn't go well with chrome so it was gunmetal for me.

[Brian MP5T]

^^^YUMMY, that will look great with the blue! Hell Yes to polished lip!

 

[ZG77_OzZ]

Nice

 

[N2OInferno]

I almost bought some wheels just like that (RS Limited Ricochet), but I figured the offset would kill me. Therefore, I am wanting to see pictures too.

 

[chriscrooz]

Here are both the rims I've had on my car.. the new ones I have now.


OLD RIMS:
Enkei LM1 18" (48 offset)

NEW RIMS:
MB Motorsport EXE II 18" (45 offset)

The offset is why I had to replace my rims... kinda wish I had them back... but the EXE II rims look WAY BETTER when you see them in person. The image don't do them justice.

vega, looks good, black on orange is nice IMO

 

[slyydrr]

and finally... the PICTURES of them on my car... mmm seksy -- and i must say, the pictures definately do not do them justice, you have to see them in person to get a real feel... they're unreal
