#83876, "my first chop with my new wheels"

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 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.

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? emoji and thanks for the compliment
