I'm not actually keeping these on my car. I bought them locally for a friend and will be shipping them out to him sometime in the next week or so. I just figured I'd put them on my car and see how they looked (that's why it's only drivers side shots too - I only put one side on). I think they look pretty nice. They make my 16s look small now but I still like mine

VE POWER

 

Although I'm not too keen on the 5-spoke look, I like yours better. But then again, WTF do I know??

 

About time u get rid of the crappy 4th gen rims and get some nice clean 17" 5 spoke wheels

 

I actually like my 4th gens a little better. These SVT ones are nice looking too, but to me, my 5 spokes fit the look of the car a little better - they look almost like they could be stock for that car

 

learn to read

 

the mustang rims look decent, but just the concept of "i have mustang rims on my max" err... maybe get Nissan center caps on there




















oh youre not keeping them? dam i guess were still twins

 

wow! your car looks tough with those wheels they are kind of dark like the UK corners an bimmer lights...very nice! do they feel heavy? damn looking at your car I cant wait to get my UK corners and bimmer lights on...

 

I stopped reading posts a few months ago. I just look at pics now and not read. Its easer to handle the internet that way

 

nice! to bad they are just temps

 

know how much those weigh?

 

For those who dont like clean 5 spokes

 

 

I think I love sprint now! oh well...if I get sick of Intrax sprints are the cheapest to buy...I will just stick with my Intrax babies for now...Craig you need some sprints dude... they are only $112 DO IT...

 

You should consider painting your calipers and the inside of the rotor that the pad does not touch silver **Cough like mine, Cough** It gives it a clean look without standing out so much like red and other colors. It also gets rid of that unsightly rust.

I actually have mine black, very ninja and takes your attention off the brakes and just on the rims. I need to repaint mine, they have been looking good for about 6 months, now they are starting to rust. Trick is to use that engine enamel paint, dont mess with the caliper paint bs.

 

yup yup...especially since mine now look tiny behind the 18's

 

did you do yours black?

 

yup...about 6 months ago i guess

 

oh

 

hey i like how u blacked out the inside of your clear cornerss
wait a second i was the first one on here to do that
but it looks good with the gb corners

yours look better my bimmers need adjusted

 

Craig didn't "black them out", those are stock UK corners.

 

corners: yeah, I have the stock UK corners that are smoked like pezking said. I've had them for over 6 months now, LordRandall and someone else had them much longer than that. Brandon90gxe also tinted his corners a while back and I'm sure there are several others besides that so sorry but you're not the first

intrax: no thanks, I like the eibachs with my crappy 4th gen rims

weight: I'm not sure, they are 1998 Cobra SVT 17x8 rims so you could probably find that info somewhere on the internet

calipers: I did paint my calipers silver but it's been over a year and they got dirty again. I'm gonna redo them again when I have some time

thanks, I keep hearing about this gap when people install the lights, but I dont know what they're talking about

yea i know that they were uk corners i called them gb corners but they looked like some one took them apart and painted part of it black like mine

 

nice nice....there cool
-lol you only put on side on!, did you go driving around like that??? LOL
- i like the nissan rims better, just because there "nissan", i would like to see a 3rd gen. with 2002 altima rims... i think that would look great..

 

I know what you mean but just a little note. Hardly any(if any at all) makers manufacture their own wheels. They are subcontracted to a few major wheel makers. So there is no "nissan" or "ford" etc.. wheels. Just wheels that say "nissan" or "ford" on them.

 

Stop lying to the young man Jeff

 

me either.

 

 

The best part of the whole thing is that he has 245s on there. Thats hella gangsta. I also think the 16s looked better on the car. Went with the simple look of your car which i think is a great look.

 

remember they're not staying on the car...they were put on for the hell of it

 

So "hella gangsta" is a good thing?

 

joO wanna be gangsta?

 

What's wrong with 245s? These rims are 8" wide.

and yeah, I'm keeping the simple look which I like too
like Chris said, they aren't staying on the car, I just put them on before I shipped them out to someone else
personally I think they're kind of nice looking in person though

 

Maybe I should put some 185s on my 8" rims. Less gansta?

 

Nothings wrong with 245s. I've seen a 94 SE with 245s on it and i think thats the perfect width (looks really mean). And yes, 'hella gangsta' is something good. Sorry for getting too 'urban' for you all.

 

Mine say Mazda

 

Mine used to have a Lexus "L"

 

You mean they don't anymore?? How'd you do that?

 

The "L" on the center cap comes right off, if you see in my old post when i got the rims all it left behind was a couple small holes...
