45709, My new rims and other new toy (big pics)
Posted by eklipsdrvr99, Apr-23-03 11:01 AM
Well, my new rims arrived today, and I must admit, 19s are big. They should look pretty good when I put them on. Let me know what yall think.




I also got another new toy for the car that should be going in pretty soon.

Damn, those rims look HUGE against your car in that pic! I'll be surpised if you don't get any tire rub. Looks good though! :thumbsup

Wow, those are huge! nice design though, simple.

What is the name of your hood? I need to look for something to suck air in for my quad TBs.

Why Elmo? Just curious where the idea came from and what the story behind it is :)

To answer all questions so far: No I don't think I'm going to sell my old rims, I'm going to use them for everyday driving. They are 35 series tires. Name of the hood is good hood by keystone restyling. And Elmo because I think he was the coolest one from Sesame Street.

Well, I just got done putting the rims on. Lowered the back a little bit more, so now my car is lowered 3.75 inches all around. No rubbing and I didn't even have to roll in the back fenders.

Looks really good. Two suggestions, loose all the stickers and get some dark window tint. Is your hood functional for ram air????

I kindda like the Elmo scheme..it's creative..better than racing stripes and flames that you see all the time. I think it could be a very very nice show car. is it turbo or no? do you ever go to the DSM meetings in northern virginia?

I think I really need a big brake upgrade now. Right now it's between the Baer and AEM kits. Hopefully I'll have something by next week.
