16409, My New Rims!!!! Posted by Chris_FL, Mar-05-02 08:21 AM
Ok, I just wanted to say I'm really back now. I've been a bit disappointed in my car lately, that's why I've been so quiet.
I just didn't want to do any more mods untils I got my rims. I sure you all know how it is. Everytime I got money for my wheels, something came up. Well, I finally got them and I just wanted some opinions. Tell me what you think!

I never really liked chrome rims on sports cars, but they look good as hell on yours. I especially like the color, hehe. Now drop that bitch

1TuffRS, I'll be honest, I agree with you about the chrome. I didn't want chrome at first either. But the guy I bought them from told me to let him put them on so I could see how they look and then decide. Once he had them on I couldn't resist. I loved them. Not only that I couldn't turn down the deal either. 18 inches, w/tires for 600 bucks. Tires are in great condition too! He even put them on for me :-).
Yeah, lowering is definitely next. I'll be doing that this weekend. Thanks all for your input!

Looks good bro. Im in your same shoes and I really have that voice saying lower it LOWER IT and to also paint my calipers. But im waiting to lower it until I put my Combat Front Bumper on to c how much I would like to lower it...either way im gonna get coilovers reguardless. So I can make adjustments anytime. I think that would be my best bet opposed to just drop springs.

hey chris, do you have any pics of your car from the side. I want to see what the car looks like with the windows tinted. I want to get mine done sometime b4 summer. How dark is your tint anyway. As far as the rims, thats a DAMN good deal. I paid 570 shipped for mine (with tires), shipping cost me 170 damn dollars, but I think it was definitely worth it though.

I don't have any pictures, but I'll take some tomorrow and post it. I'd do it now, but it's dark out. The tints came with the car. They're pretty dark, but I'm gonna redo them soon. The guy who painted my mirrors and door handles scratched them up pretty bad.

is it just me or do they look photoshopped? maybe im just tired. no offense to you chris, i was just making an observation. looks good tho!

ok, I finally got it lowered today. This picture was taken two hours after the install. I was tired of the gap jokes :-) Anyway I took a side picture so 1TuffRS can see the tints. Also, in response to rfpunch, I looked at the picture, I guess it does look a little funny. Hopefully this new pic will convince you.

P.S. That's my new Jag X-Type in the background... That bubble by the back window.

Looks good man, and I was wondering the same thing about your first pic, at first glance it was screaming photoshop! But again, looks good.

It's cool, I didn't think you were. The first pic does look like photoshop. :-)
