to give you an idea of how shitty they looked before after i drove thru the backed up sewer @ my school.. this is what happened to them, i dont know why this happened either . . . but you can compare the two to see WHY this needed to be done





(yes the tires are 195/55 up front and 195/50 in back, the rears are brand new, decided to go with that, the fronts are the first set of kumhos i've had, been on the rear of the car.. first set of kumho's i've bought, lasted a long time )


Of course there was NO SUN AT ALL TODAY! so the rims aren't show ANYWHERE NEAR their full potential, heres what they look like so far though on the ride



and yes, the oil spots in the driveway are from my car, **** is leaking oil mad crazy. i got a new oil pan gasket, but i was unsuccessful on taking the oil pan off, like it was welded to the block or some ****.. got any tips? let me know

flame away

 

The middle pic looks blingin

Take out the bolts and nuts j/k, but make sure all of them are out, especially by the flywheel, and the tap the sides of the pan with you hand until it breaks loose

really? any pics?


thanks everybody! I can't wait to get the other two done

 

Looks good. Put back your centercap.

 

Those look wicked

 

I love the polished face but you need to do something about the inside of the wheel. It looks "unfinished". I know you said that you're done playing w/ them but I really think it would look alot better. I mean you took the time to get them looking this good may as well finish the job.

yeah, i'm not sure who said it, but someone mentioned getting the insides of the spokes powder coated glossy black (wasn't it you?). i'm seriously considering having that done. but for now, i'm just going to leave them bead-blasted and wait till the other two rims are done.. once all 4 are done, i'll make a decision.

thanks for all the compliments guys!

*goes back to being a brokey*
