looks better now.

nice sticky tires!

Vanderkitten · 06-21-2007, 03:31 AM

95% there, now lose the silly black piping on your RED door and it will look 100%! I can even live with the fenders, but not that door guard thing. =)

Have fun taking hard turns ^^

slvryaris · 06-21-2007, 05:15 AM

The car looks good lowered and with the wheels. I have experienced many broken and bent rims. You will learn to remember every little pot hole in the road near you before you know it.

Looks good! The wheel can most likely be fixed if the bend is smooth. The link is for a shop that does good work and they have three places in TX.

hey thanks for that link. however, they charge $129 to repair a wheel and i bought it for $109. i think the best thing to do is to just buy another wheel at this point. i may even go crazy and buy two.

I found that the quoted prices in my area have been a bench mark and not necessarily an individual case by case repair. You might want to check them out if it is close.

Your garage doesn't say which size tires you're running... 40's or 45's?

Car looks good now!

Imagine · 06-21-2007, 01:39 PM

Very nice, the car looks great.

Nigal · 06-21-2007, 05:29 PM

Looks sweet! You should paint your break calipers red to match the car.

brickhardmeat · 06-21-2007, 05:36 PM

esola · 06-22-2007, 08:57 AM

That car look such much better lowered... you did a nice job! Thanks for the pics.

RUBBERDIPSTICK · 06-30-2007, 12:47 PM

Hey everybody, i was wondering how many other people have seen bent rims like this. Do you think air pressure has anything to do with it or is it just a common problem with bigger rims? I run about 40 psi now on 17"s. Would hate to have to replace a rim just from hitting a pothole...

oh yea, the drop looks perfect. those rims go great with the red. nice...very nice

what is your side wall? I would suggested running the correct tire pressure, that sounds high

the less side wall you have the lest cushion you have, hence the larger the wheel the less side wall you have room for
