Only a 15.2? Most everyone else on this forum was very impressed with that? did you iss the fact that it is NA? I launched at redline and dot a 2.1 60ft with bald tires i really think i did quite well, and it's in the 14s now for sure but the track isn't open yet so i don't have a slip for it.

DAMN!!! bronze does look good. Is there a way to make the black look glossier?

Or if you do decide to paint them black, leave the lip polished.

Two reasons, One they are scratched baddly on 3 of the wheels (the reason i got them for 500 with only like 50 miles on them after they were bought for like 1200), and two, i like the contrast of the black on red with the side molding and tinted windows i think it will look nice

My suggestion is to get the powder coated. It's not very expensive anymore and will last a HECK of a lot longer and look sharper than paint.
Here's my take on black spokes with silver rims (it's lunchtime and I'm bored!)

wow thanks everyone, i'm still pretty set on balck probably a glossy black, but i'm liking the bronze too. I will powdercoat them it's gonna only be like 150 or 200 bucks, but i don't have that money now so i'm gonna paint em for the time being.


Here's a pic of my car right before i bought it.

Those rims are sweet but i killed one in an accident and they are four lug and my car no longer is four lug. Too bad i love those rims. But anyway i'd like to see them in other colors too and my current rims in white just for fun.
