I am looking to get my rims painted, and would like to not have the car left on jackstands during the process. Does anyone have a set of rims with tires that will fit my FD. I only need them for a week or so won't be driving the car at all so I don't care what they look like or if the tires are bald. PM me if you have something that will work I woudl really appreciate it and I am sure I can return the favor somehow.... beer or helping out with a mod to your car something along those lines. Thanks in advance.

 

lol i have one 5 lug spare from my FC, and one 5 lug steelie with a bald tire, get two more and your set

 

after this week end i can let you borrow all four off my fc if they will fit....17" 5 lug...

 

That would be awesome and much appreciated. All I need is 5x114.5 I think offset shouldn't matter as long as it clears the calipers. I'm not going to be driving on them so clearance won't be an issue.

 

FC wheels should fit no problem.

 

does gsl fit?

 

just a little.

:AA:

 

let me know my 7 should be back on jackstands by monday....

 

are the stands yours or junkyards?

 

mine.....

 

Well, the place that was supposed to hook me up with the wheel painting apparently needs some more practice, so it doesn't look like this will happen for awhile. Has anyone here had any luck painting/repairng their own wheels? I have read numerous articles and think I may give it a shot, but would like to know if anyone with experience can chime in.

 

i painted my stock rims on my fd black, all i did was dismount the tires from wheels, then after i cleaned them with parts wash or brake clean, hit them with wire brush and made sure that they were super clean. i used Acid Etching primer ( this stuff is awesome) and the primer sticks verrrryy well. After letting it sit after primer for 30 min i just painted with a rattle can, came out pretty good. i forgot to add u can use clear over the last color coat, adds some shine and easier to clean up when dirty

 

Good to know. Did you use the Dupli-Color stuff, engine neamel, what kind of rattle can?
