That's pretty close to what I would like to get for mine. Yes, I have some nice wheels now, but I want black with a polished lip.
Bolt pattern looks good, same with offset and size.
What color is your car? Ah hell, it doesn't matter, go for it... the only thing I don't like is the color ring... what the hell is that? Can't it be just black? But if you like them, then go for it!!! Good price too!

Looks nice, pretty similar to what I have, but mine are powdercoat silver. But the design really looks nice on a red 2gnt (like mine :-) )

They don't look too bad, just don't know about the red. I'd probably have to see them on your car.

oh man I must've been tipsy when I looked cuz I didn't even see the red on those rims. Thats kinda...meh, if you can find similar ones with just black with a polished lip, I thing it'd look awesome.

So thats what you were talking about. Don't look to bad at all, I think it might match your car pretty nice.

yeah!!! I just purchased an EGR blockoff kit from concept illusions... I could make it, but for the price of the gaskets, it's about the same. And I don't have time.
I would buy more for the car... but getting new one soon and putting the Talon in storage for a while.... while it's in storage I might be doing a couple of things to it.... muahahaha!

92603, RE: What do you guys think of the rims i want to get? Posted by EclipseSix, Feb-22-06 05:22 AM
oh if the ring can be removed then hell yeah go for it, decide if it looks good or not once its on the car. Don't forget to post some pics up when you get them on the car!!

If you want a photoshop, post a side pic of your car.

just put the back bumper the same as the front and say you are going the Dodge Caravan style.
|
92611, RE: What do you guys think of the rims i want to get? Posted by dsmmyth, Feb-22-06 08:34 AM
Yea, I've seen that one but it's hard to photoshop something at an angle.
The pic also needs to be a good size if you can manage.

Hey dsmmyth, I think you should find another picture of a red Eclipse with the 2GB front end w/ no sideskirts; should be pretty easy. Besides, the rims wont necessarily look good with a primered front end, IMO. :P
Edit: This is the best I found. Although it's a GS.

I'm sure he has an imagination... he was going to get skirts anyways.

92615, RE: What do you guys think of the rims i want to get? Posted by edxmon, Feb-22-06 11:11 AM
yea mang those are all the pics i have ATM, destruckeclipse are going out for a "photoshoot" sometime soon :P but if u can go ahead and put em on the eclipse that saikou posted that'd be just fine, and by the way i dont think the primer wouldnt in any way diminish the good looks of the rims...punk heheheh:7

Here's a real quick chop. I usually find a car with the same rims and photoshop the rims with their brakes onto another.
I really don't like doing the rims by themselves but there is NO car with these rims.
Anywho, this should give you a broad idea.

OMG 400 to install 140 pulley? Not worth it dude...
|
92630, RE: What do you guys think of the rims i want to get? Posted by edxmon, Feb-23-06 03:46 PM
:wtf i had made a post about it some time ago and u guys said it was a deal?!?! ur maybe reading this the wrong way...hes going to install all new belts and water pump. i have no idea when my tbelt was last changed. but really i thought u guys said it was fine?!?!?! anyways bring it to the meet! plus u said 130 if i picked it up! see u there :thumbsup
|
92631, RE: What do you guys think of the rims i want to get? Posted by dsmmyth, Feb-23-06 05:23 PM
Wow dude, do the pulley yourself. It's relatively easy.
|
92633, RE: What do you guys think of the rims i want to get? Posted by edxmon, Feb-23-06 06:56 PM
aside from having literally no tools, i doubt i have the skils, yet. i posted on my local dsm forum, hopefully theyll hook me up.

92634, RE: What do you guys think of the rims i want to get? Posted by dsmmyth, Feb-24-06 04:09 AM
All you need is a torque wrench, a harmonic balancer to hold the pulley still while you torque it, a jack, jack stands, and common metric sockets.

92635, RE: What do you guys think of the rims i want to get? Posted by saikou, Feb-24-06 04:31 AM
Uh, is that $400 for just the labor? No parts?
|
92641, RE: What do you guys think of the rims i want to get? Posted by edxmon, Feb-24-06 06:33 AM
no no, im making the figure 400, after i spend the money for the belts and water pump, the rest is gona be in labor, but since im getting the belts (i think) from chamucko when i get the UDP the remainder is gona be in his labor, and i dont really know how much it would have been for the belts. so in conclusion, no its not 400 JUST for his labor its gona be 400 after everything, plus im getting the Parts Dinosaur Timing kit that includes the mechanic tensioner, water pump, belts and bearings, for 170 shipped. so hope that clears that up. but im still waiting for a reply from the local guy.
