83876, my first chop with my new wheels
Posted by CarbonFiberRST, Apr-14-05 10:27 AM
This is about what my car will look like with the new wheels. Opinions? also if anyone can tell me how to "paint" the door handles in PS let me know and do it for me if you wouldn't mind :)

Usually I dont like black rims, but I think I like the old ones better. Maybe the new ones will look better when they are actually on the car.

Edit: I changed my mind, the new ones do look better. I shined them up a little bit.

yea... I hope... those wheels came from a much smaller pic so they are all grainy and i blurred my original pic to try to match it... hopefully in person without all the grainyness they'll look nice...

Thanks for the handles

EDIT1:can you post the pic of them shinned up? or did you, because the pic you have posted now looks the same...

EDIT2: oh cool thanks

EDIT3: can you tell me how you shinned them up?

EDIT4: Got the wheels from this pic... angle is all wrong


EDIT5: Naw... 4 edits can't be even close to the record.

EDIT6: Oh yea points to farmdogg55 for the photchop help, thanks.

yea after I put on the sideskirts, hood, and fenders I regreted ordering the new wheels... but oh well...

Also the main reason I want to change is that everyone around here is getting black wheels (about 15 other people and I live in a small town), and the reason I got them was to be different but since I got'em everyone decided to copy so I gave up on "different"... but now I just want my car to blend in and not stand out so I decided to go back to a more normal or natural look.

I think the new rims look better- the all black rims kinda made the car look "dirty"- also, 4 edits- i think that might be a record :bowdown

I am glad to see most of you guys prefer the centerlines... After I got rid of the CF I started to think I liked the black ones better, but then I started leaning back towards the centerlines... Hell at least they'll be lighter, and girls like shiny stuff (although I already have a gf...) but after having the adr's for over 3 years I need a change.

They finally came... not as light as I hoped :scratch (18lbs according to bathroom scale) my current ones are 18.5 supposedly...
oh well there they are.

Nice wheels! And what did you mean by srt-4 brake conversion?

turbo8u said something about stock brakes, because the brakes inside of the wheels that i photoshopped weren't the same as my 13" ones... i guess he assumed they were stock and i was saying that they were from the srt-4 because thats the car i chopped the wheels off of, get it? :+ and thanks for the compliment
