New Rims, whatcha think?

[tkoforpresident]

Hey guys, just bought these rims, 4 for about 500$

What do you think of em?

In any case, it will look 10 times better than my stock 93 stock firebird rims, which IMO is the worst looking part of the car.

Re: New Rims, whatcha think?

Re: New Rims, whatcha think?

They will be an improvement over stock!! If you don't get corvette wheels on this forum you won't get alot of praise. As long as you like what you got thats all that matters. :tup:

I hear ya, it's not like I went all out, 500 bucks seems like a decent price for this improvement

I had those when I bought my car. They lasted for all of a month.

Re: New Rims, whatcha think?

nice dude, i like those wheels because they arent to flashy, but will look pretty clean on ur car. And i like the bolts to with the deep dishy look. To bad there not 17's though, cuz then u could get some low profile tires on with it, and make them look even better.

i'm glad you said that, i'm not tryin to be flashy, chromes are too much for me, i don't have tints or gauges or anything like that, i'm tryin to keep my car lookin old school but new at the same time

i'll post up some pics of the car when i have the wheels on and you'll see what i mean

i'm also hopin to put some indy firehawk tires on it too with the white lettering

Re: New Rims, whatcha think?

just to keep you the thread updated, my rims came in today while I was painting my brake calipers, which turned out great by the way. Since the new rims show much more of the brake itself, i think the calipers will really look nice when the new rims are on.

Quick question however. Does anybody know how much it costs to have a shop put new rims on your car?

Also, i'm planning on getting some new tires soon, so would it be worth it to wait until i buy new tires and just have them put on both at the same time? thanx guys

Re: New Rims, whatcha think?

Wait and have them install new tires on rims. Then you'll have a set of summer wheels and a set of winter wheels. You should get all 4 tires mounted and balanced for 60 bucksish.

i like your style, your saying just have them put new tires on the new rims at the same time, and use the old tires and rims (still in tact) as my winter set... i like it.... and that should all only cost 60 bucks? (in that i buy the tires and rims already)

and whats the admin spazzin bout??
