(updated with clean pics) Bandwagon boat anchor cr00!

Got me some dub-deuces






18x8 G35s and 235/40 Federal SS595s

And I know I need some mineral spirits (and crappy touchup paint) for that nasty scrape... but that's not too bad compared to respraying a wheel because some retard hit it with a pressure washer when I told him not to

hahah looks great. should've gotten some 245s instead. slap on a 5mm up front and a 10mm in the rear to push em out a bit more. done deals. should've used aircraft paint stripper too. would have eaten everything up to the bare metal. day late and a buck short... but its about time you upgraded from those dinky wheels...

I think the Z32 wheels looked better on your particular car, but these definitely aren't bad either

Sorry, but we're going to have to revoke your AXLE HOP license plate since your new boat anchors won't allow it anymore...

Nice paint job too. Could've fooled me!!

False. 50lbs a corner = boat anchors. Just because you've got ship anchors doesn't mean mine are light

Too wide. The Federals are a pretty wide tire and 235/40 has it almost exactly square.

slap on a 5mm up front and a 10mm in the rear to push em out a bit more. done deals.
I'd like to, but I should probably roll my fenders first.

should've used aircraft paint stripper too. would have eaten everything up to the bare metal. day late and a buck short... but its about time you upgraded from those dinky wheels...
I got some pretty nasty paint stripper, it ate through its container in about ten seconds and it ate through the paint pretty well too.

I still like the Z32s, they're a bit wider and way more unique.

actually I've gone down .5 inches in wheel width, which studies have shown is directly correlated to penor size

ll bs aside though it looks nice. lil spacer in the rear never hurt no one.
Thanks brobrocop. I might be looking into spacers soon.

The Z32s are definitely unique, the tire sidewall is more flush (and the wheel face by like 1mm) and they can fit wider tires. I'm not sure if I'm going to get rid of them yet.

Sorry but when did you claim G35c wheels for your own?

Tires are brand new and wheel paint is still curing, no tire shine is fine

One on the rear was there when I got it but the front was my doing... if you notice the pass. side mirror is kind of hanging off, some tards cracked the housing, I fixed it finally like a week ago and then one of the moron kids in our car group re-broke it being a jackass a day later

Like 5 coats of primer
3 coats of color (2 light and 1 "medium wet" as directed on the can)
3 coats of clear in the same fashion

Some douchecanoe at the car wash I took it to decided to pressure wash the wheels after I told 'em not to and now I have a nice big ol' chip of paint missing... luckily I fished the paint out of the trash though...
