Got the rims for $200 shipped, and im selling my original S4 TII rims for $100. So Ive got 100 bucks invested, plus 60 for the mounting of the rubber onto the new wheels.

Also, the roof is the best place to keep the hood when youre short on space.

You must clean or replace that rear dust cover!
And I hope you have something between that hood and your roof to keep from scratching the paint.

I like the wheels though, they certainly look more modern.

Cory
has a set of vert wheels and a set of 90 GXL wheels in his garage. The verts are waiting for tires I can't seem to find and the GXLs are for sale.

Since we're posting pics of hoods on top of cars . . . here is my parts hauler bringing home my $50 aluminum hood from the junk yard:


Your new rims are a total improvement! I think they look better than vert wheels.

The problem with the vert wheels is that there only 15". I think the efini bbs are 16". Those would be the ones to have.

I think the car looks much better than with the saw blade types on. Now all you need is the centre caps.

What dust cover?

And the hood still has the heat covering crap on it, so theres no scratching going on...

Yes. I think ive heard of a few rare cases though where one had a steel hood.

You need new window trim, or at least you need to sand 'em down and paint them black.
