look at my RX2's new shoes

yep i finnally got some rims after selling my other sets. One to Crit, and the other with my 808 ( 15x7 mesh style with a huge lip. they would have looked great) but now i have a set of american racing libre rims, which look good. they are pretty light i dont have full specs yet, but hopefully i will get them. I know i need to get a couple of new ties so i will probably jsut get a full set, I don need however a aftemarket set of valve stems as these ones are pretty weird. I mean they way the come up from the rim. and i will either get some rotor valve stem caps or I am asking to get some made that will either say RX2 or have the old school logo on them. (let m eknwo if you would like a set for under 15 shipped. but i am wondering what color they should be. they are dirty in the pics, the outer lip is polished. and the ineer spokes are kinada a slate color mayeb even graphite. but if i am gonna get new tires for them i am thinking about getting the powdercoated. Now my car is orange with black interior and white pin strip eventually to add another white stripe. so i was thinking all white, but my trucks rims are all white and they always look dirty but when they are clean they do look good. or maybe black but they have the same problem as white rims. so I am thinking jsut geting they done in the graphite color. but i am jsut not jsut how that will look.. what do you guys think.

Very slick. I've got mine in slippers now (the shoes are put away) because of the extremely high chance of bodyshop overspray screwing them up.

they made them in 14 inch. i think mine are a 13 inch, which should tuck nicely under the wheel wells. although i one of them leaks air so i can put them on for a while. unless maye i will jsut go get it fixed and burn them off through-out the summer.
