Got My New Rims (pics)

[Dustin]

Hey man, those are sweet as hell. I love the 077's. I'm looking very seriously into gtting the 18's myself. Did they throw off the speedo very bad? Where did you get them?

I have those same rims. I hate 'em... don't wanna burst your bubble or anything like that, just wanna let you know ahead of time. get them cleaned up and get some hella good wax on them or something, the finish on those are pitted like hell and once they're dirty, they're done. I have not found a product out there that will make them shine again. Enjoy 'em while they're nice. The fortunate thing about those rims is that they're not too pricey [img]smile.gif[/img] <hr></blockquote>

OUCH...my first negative comment [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img] , i'll polish them every week, i promise [img]graemlins/dunce.gif[/img] :D

P.S. They were pricey enough for me :rolleyes:

Those rims look very nice!! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Are those chrome or polished aluminum? I have polished aluminum eagles, and I don't think you have to worry about the shine fading. They are easy to clean and they shine really nice. I use Eagle One A2Z All Wheel Cleaner. I am amazed with this product. All you do it spray it on and hose off and it cleans it very well leaving a nice bright shine. The guy at the wheel shop recommended Mothers wheel cleaner/polish, but I haven't tried it yet. Here are how my wheels look after about 9 months:

I think mine are in excellent condition. And trust me, they have been very dirty. A few times they've looked brown after going about 4 weeks with no wash (normally I wash my car weekly). But once I use the cleaner, they are back to normal, like the picture above. By the way, that picture was taken after it rained in the morning. I was at school using their digital camera so I really didn't have a choice, I wanted to wash the car again, before I took the picture, but it still looks good.

Nice rims bro. I'd get a set but my rims would hate me cuz of the snow. :( <hr></blockquote>

Hey, where in Chicago do you live? I live in Schaumburg and my grandpa owns a wheel company so I'm sure I could hook you up with a deal. You can IM me at CamaroGuy95 if you wanna talk about it.
