all this talk of polished wheels makes me want something aftermarket.

I have some blue and white decals I purchased and planned on using before I had to go this route....not sure if I still want to use them or get custom transparent blue/black ones made </TD></TR></TABLE>

so some dude asked me how much i'd sell my Sol for and i straight out said $4,500 no less and he said he'd think about it. so if he shows with the cash, she's gone. if not i move on with her. i'm not looking to sell, but for $4500 anything can happen.

Those wheels look like crap...aren't they are copies of wheels that were made from a Japanese sewer cap design?</TD></TR></TABLE>

Yes they also serve as sheilds incase Godzirra burps a burst of flame at you while you're driving down the street.

Yeah they kind of do but on the sol if I should keep it which I HIGHLY doubt it'll help the full polish tie in with the rest of the car and on the EF which they'll almost assuredly be going on it'll match some things I plan to do(blue stripe on side moldings ...similar to red stripe on JDM ones, and a full black and blue interior)

IDK if I don't like it after awhile my thought was find a place that can make them look chrome(can't polish plastic ) and redo the blue lettering.

not even close

funny thing is I actually just noticed them now the second time looking at the pics

nice

like when you notice the buttons on your jeans, shirt, jacket, etc doesn't just have ordinary buttons, but ones that have the designers/companies name around them too


oh and from all this talk and pics of the NR10Rs over the past couple of days, I think I finally appreciate/like them and maybe have been convinced/seen the light

Still not a fan of the cf48s (sorry barry ), but maybe my opinion about them will change as well with time...

Personally I've never understood why "brand name" cast wheels or steelie looking things are $$$ just because they are rare/brand name

 

Okay ******. I'm back. Someone give me cliffs on what ive missed, im too lazy to read lol.

Since ive been MIA ive pulled out the d15 out of my parts car cuz il need it to put into the white car. (im already so sick of dd'ing my eg2. Il need axles, a complete intake mani, an exhaust mani, a vss and radiator hoses, plus a head gasket, valve seals and prolly a timing belt to get the white car running with the d15 again.

Cf-48's are ugly *** ****, but they were my first set of 'wheels'
Actually when I bought my old EF they came with the car and I immediatly bought gsr wheels and took the mugens off, about 6 months later I found out what kind of wheels they were
Still only had them on my car for about a month lol
