(yeah i really dont feel like re uploading it on photobucket)

 

All that work and now you are going Deeelux! Nice

 

yeah
ima gonna still rock the steelies when i hit the mountains
lol

 

Thanks for the info. I got 18" wheels on my xBox (came with the car), and I really don't like forking over $$$ for low profile tires all the time I get them changed.

I'm gonna buy stock 15" steels instead, get them powdercoated gunmetal grey and do the chrome trim and lug nuts as y'all are saying.

Where do you recommend the cheapest place to get good OEM wheels?

 

That's why I switched to 15's much better ride and I don't have to repair the wheels all the time! I don't know on the wheels but I have an extra set of 4 rings and lugs for $50 shipped your way..

 

Nice wheels.

 

why thank you

 

Mate thanks all the same. Turns out I was able to pick up a set of Falken Ziex for $320 fitted and balanced (way better than the $800+ I paid at Sears a couple years ago, who I'll never go to again for anything auto).

 

The problem I found was that I painted my steelies, they came out incredible, but once I popped the trim ring on, the steel ridges inside the trim rims scrapes up the paint pretty bad off the inner lip of the steelie. I mean it doesn't matter because you don't see it, but paying to powdercoat I dunno if it would be worth it maybe just paint yourself.

 

how did you guys get your steelies like that? im interested in painting my steelies, black wit the trim. can anyone give me instruction on completing that task?? and what paint and metal trim to purchase? highly appreciate it.
