If you search "pic" or "pictures" you will more than likely find the correct thread with a few dozen pictures of cars and wheels.

Very nice car. I hope you don't get any gaudy chrome wheels.....

I'd still say search, a lot of threads around here are needlessly created out of failure to search. The place is cluttered with unneeded threads!

once again, i've been searching and reading posts all afternoon. making this thread isn't going to ruin anyone's day. i'm not asking if my car came with LSD, i'm not asking if I can put a turbo II engine in my car, and i'm not asking what to do when i flood my engine.

thanks for the picture btw

Again this mind set spread over a few hundred new members per day IS cluttering this forum up.


It makes searching harder because half if not more of the search results are people asking for pictures AGAIN like you. The forum doesn't need REPEAT threads of old ones.

More proper action would have been to find an old thread with a good amount of posts and images and post THERE so that its brought to the top of the list and more people will see that.

It would be pointless to have a thread of pictures of wheels on EVERY color FC out there.


We'll have dozens upon dozens of threads if we use your academic logic.

And if we use YOUR academic logic, the only new threads we'd ever see would be updates on how people are getting along on their project cars, or pictures of what's-his-face's new shitty GXL with whorehouse-red interior, or a million vague threads like "help my car idles like crap".

If you really really want me to delete this thread because the information is soooo redundant, just let me know and I'll get rid of it.

Wow I didn't know how cool a black spoiler on a red FC would look, that's so killer.

Black does look good on red FCs. I especially like matte black five or seven spoke wheels.

Every stock wheel i've seen spraypainted black has looked absolutely hideous. I'd like to see a tasteful job.
