haha, that would be nice jim. . . i know he doesnt care to go out and buy new rims just because his are out of style. hahahaha. he feels that he bought them cause he liked them. . . and he still likes them. . . and the fact that he spent QUITE A BIT of money on them kinda fuels that flame as well. theyre "STERN" wheels. . . which are pretty good quality, and are usually rather expensive. his just happen to all of that. . . except older. haha.

take up a collection!!!! im sure he has other rims in mind for his car. he just cant justify "trashing" an immaculate pair of rims that he still doesnt mind. so, if the money comes from nowhere. . . i dont have any doubt that hed put some decent metal on his car. hahahaha.

haha! Paul, The voice of god was hilarious!! Stripping him of bling privalages

I understand not wanting to shell out cash when you have wheels that work ( Mechanically not visually) If it aint broke in half,don't fix it.

Or at least get the centers repainted a darker gunmetal color so that the 3-spoke lameness is less obvious.

Maybe some good can come from dusting off a thread this old...

Looking past the gayness of the flame pattern battery hold-down and the chrome caps on the fluid reservoirs, that Stinger battery terminal with voltage indicator is pretty cool.
