got some new wheels

I had pretty much lost all interest with the car, and wanted to get rid of her. but, with the crappy economy and other 6spds not selling, i was not planning on selling the car for a huge loss. all i needed to do was change the ugly a$$ wheels i bought 3.5 years ago. went back to 17s(17.6lbs ea) and stuck with the proxies 4s.

wheels are TR motorsports MT-1s in matt grey



going to add the $tillen classic lip and keep it black...

A ton of members would love to get their hands on an an 02 6spd HLSD w/ 56k and those mods...

So you added the wheels to increase sellability? If you opt for a part out of the performance parts, I'm sure you'll have no problem finding buyers as well.

Sad you hear you've lost interest.

im sure a lot of members would, but not for lowball offers..

i needed tires and i was over my other wheels, so i got the new rims and fell in love with the car all over again. she will be with me for a long time. now i just gotta order my lip and rear strut tower brace and then im pretty much done modding

i feel the same way but from what i understand he's replacing what came with the car so, they look pretty good compared to stockers and the fact that they weight that much lesslol

tire shine might help the appearance

your mod list is one to kill for tho, niiiiiiice

i know rims are subjective to lots of people, all opinions good or bad are welcome! the 18s i had with the tires weighed 55lbs a side, the new setup is 42lbs a side. i really cant believe the difference in accelaration!

thats the spirit. glad your back into your max, she is definitely a keeper and the rims go very well with the flow of your car.

Good a$$ call.. Man your car already has the mods list now its time for the looks.. glad to see you ventured out and got some rims and tires.. not really my style, but then again its not really my car either.. My opinion.. Even the drop, smoke some stuff (ie headlights, taillights, and markers) and youll fall in love with your car all over.. again.. oh yeah the color combo i love (not the chrome head/tail lights tho).. oh btw.. never give up
