Im desperately in need of a drop now,have springs hopefully gonna swingthe struts next weekend and finally drop it the week after. Bought them from a local org member nad got them for an incredible price with the tires which arent so great but will do till I get new tires.

[IMG][/IMG]
They need some cleaning up but dont mnd especially since the price was very nice. I didnt have a floorjack on hand so I took them to a tire shop to have them put on and even after making numerous mentions to him about making sure the rotation was correct as you can see in pic the right rear is wrong....against the direction. I actually didnt notice it till about an hour later when I took the pics but its been fixed since then. Thanks for looking.

 

POLISH DEM LIPS MAN! but otherwise...nice rims. once its lowered, shined and sparkly clean you should have yourself a pretty clean ride....

also...you ever thought about getting some tints?

 

pretty wide loking tires there, whar size tires/rims are those, do you by chance have on spacers?Looking good.

 

just polish your wheels...but its ok. I would paint your car another color if you want to keep those wheels.

 

beautiful rims. dark spokes look tight on a gold max. i got grey on mine..check my sig

 

Lol...I was beginning to think nobody else out there with Pebble Biege and dark rims was gonna chime in.

 

245-40-19---no spacers. Im gonn wait till drop and see what i cando with the front,they look in more than the back

 

Without a doubt...this pic was takin within the firt twenty minutes that I got back to work after having them put on. Gonna polish the lip over the weekend,was looking thru stickies and google and found some good stuff. Also gonna wash the car but its hell up my street,they digging so every day its dusty and then it rained te past couple days on and off so RAIN+DUST=my car

 

the beige and black rims doesnt do it for me...

those honestly would look best on a black car. just get a nice silver one. i like the deep dish on the max. and $20 for some clear corners.

 

Lol at the clear corners....I still dont know why I havent bought them yet. Actually the guy I bought them from went to a silver colored BBS 20" and they looked very nice bu still.in the end I love the black. The only notion I did hear from someone that i thought might be kinda funky was to color match the body color and leave the polish lip. I dunno,was gonna photochop something up later but I suck and it will take me too long but still I wonder if it would grow on me? But we do agree on the deep dish.

 

I am amused at this, I sometimes think I am the only one that wastes his breath when HAVING to goto a shop for something and they screw up exactly what you explain...in detail. Its like Nice rims though, will look better once you do some more (drop, etc) and clean her up.

 

It would look pretty bad @$$ dropped.

 

Tinting your windows like 15 percent would have them match much better and I think the combo would look really nice. Clean car

 

Lol...yea 9 outta 10 times I woulda just put them on myself but at my shop we dont really have any floor jacks and the one I did have was crap so I took it around the corner to get them put on and this is what I get. Maybe if I didnt say anything they woulda got it right.

 

Yea tint is also needed. I never really planned on doing much to the car other than some basic(I/Y/E) but never really thought about doing cosmetic mods other than a drop but everyone told me to wait to drop till after I got the rims so I did but now I look like Im ready for a rally race

 

NICe bro.. not a bad start..
Drop/Tint/blk bumperlights and tint'd tails/ and possible AE headlights and you'll be set..

 

the offset doesnt seem right on the rims

 

I was wondering about the offset myself.....I wonder does it look weird cause of the tire size? They are 245's on there now,should i go smaller? I dunno,gonna wait for the drop so I have less distance(lol) to see the gap.

 

How would you know? The picture isn't a very clear indication, any flush shots? People on these boards are just to used to sunken battleship wheels, afraid to go flush, no offense

 

I actually dont know either bro...I never really was into aftermarket rims before so the whole offset thing gets me rightnow. I'll take som flush shots and see what ya think cause the front look pretty flush but the rears seem to be sunk in a bit..I dunno,tomorrow I'll take some front/rear angle shots and see what think.

 

More picures!! I like it a lot, the black rims on the pebble beige looks good IMO. but please post pics from other angles once you clean it up and what not.

 

I was gonna polish them up today but its raining out so thats dead. If it slows a bit I'll take some angle pics...my dings and dents really show when the cars wet ftl.

 

you obvisouly don't know what you are talking about

 

I owned an s13 before my max, I know a little bit about flushness bud, that was a tired post, so I GUESS it looks a little weird

Lets see YOUR wheels bud, what, afraid of a little rubbing

Anyways, you will need a spacer for the rear to make it flush, just how 4th gens are, roll your fenders and about 10-15mm should do it...

 

what are you talking about? his rims dont need spacers look at them they are sticking out of the body. and dont worry about me kid my rims sit flush and they dont rub

 

nice rims! it will match the car after you put on balck headlight and corner lights! i just got new gun metal deeps im gonna get new headlight and corner lights soon!

 

How hard is to understand that it isn't the best angle to judge that, my goodness he specifically said, and I quote...

Internet pics<<<<<Real car

Lets see some pics then, I bet they aren't flush to my standards, or s-chassis standards in general

 

trust me my rims are flush to the body why does it matter to you so much. if you talk so much at who's rims and flush why dont you show us your's

 

Mounted next week Need to lower though, Still 4x4 on drop springs and illuminas

Sorry to OP for this, will be taken to PMs

 

polished lip on a black rim

have the lip painted black too, and it won't look too bad.

 

Honestly I was thinking about that too. I just thought the polish broke up the black enought to look to contrast to the car. My neighbor said I should leave the rim black and colr match the lip to the car...dunno.

 

Yea I they dont stick out anywhere....I guess the photo agle is bizarre cause i checked from front and rear and they dont stick out anywhere.

 

Good to hear, thought it was the photo, take some more pics anyways man!

Quite honestly, I dont think the lip is the problem, that black just doesn't look right on that color car, If I were you I would leave the lip alone and repaint the center, color matching would be badass, but silver would look great as well...

Use wheel paint and it would probably cost you under 30-40 to do, remember, its all about the prep work

 

no man, dont do that...then you'll just have 'invisible' black rims and no contrasting....just polish the lips up using some chrome polish and lots of elbow grease (or a mother's polishing ball) first and then decide on anything else. dont forget to polish the black portion of the rims as well.

dude, i deff. dont recommend doing that at all...anytime someone paints their rims to match the car, its not the lip but the center of the rim. and quite honestly, that gold color doesnt lend itself to being the color of the rim itself.... if you absolutely must paint those rims in some way or fashion, leave the lips alone and paint the rims 'gun-metal' (silver/grey) or give them a fresh coat of black (if for any reason your current black is faded or something.)

remember, keep it clean, keep it elegant.... dont get too creative.

 

Lol I hear. Im pretty much set on leaving the rims as is now. I was playing around with photoshop and didnt like any of the other combinations. Just gonna freshen them all up. And yea the black is a bit faded on one of the rims,not bad but I might as well clean thm up. I think once Im dropped it will look much better. Theres a guy Poowill on here with sick blck rims on a pebble biege(or reall close,seen little pic in sig) but his car was one of the reasons I fell in love with the black rims in te 1st place.

 

Car looks good,man.After that drop you'll be set.Where at in PA are you at?

 

Thanks..cant wait for the drop. Found an orger from south nj gonna do it for me. Im in south philly

 

Been raining for 3 days now....gonna get them pics asap.

 

Ok.I used to live at 10th & Oregon and on camac st. several years ago.Matter of fact,I get my drop done tomorrow so we'll both have to update our pics soon.

 

Cool I live on 10th and Snyder. Yea man,the drop makes all the difference on these 4th gens.
