i like the wheels a lot better than your last ones. you should spray paint black over that yellow lettering on the tires tho.

did you install the sidemarkers yourself?

yea...and the yellow letters are stickers that came with the rims....I actually put them on.....I think it sets it off a little

I used a dremel and went through about 15 cutitng bits and then sanded the edges smooth with a sanding bit and then put clearcoat around the cuts

i don't like the yellow stickers on the rims, but hey, its your car.
from looking at the pics i still don't any wheel locks.

those are nicer than your previous wheels imo.. the yellows gotta go though, and nice job on the sidemarkers. and yeah, wheel locks would be a good idea.

ElectronBlueSi · 12-24-2006, 08:36 AM

there is 1 wheel lock on each wheel....its an oddball starshaped pattern with 2 offset sides.....its just hard to see..

I was actually throwin around the idea of sprayin it black.....I probably will soon.....thx

yeah the new rims are gangster

I cant say positive or negative for sidemarkers, they dont do anything for me.. but i think if you tinted ur windows and had a black mesh grill it would completely change ur look. Plus i dont like the projectors(but that may be because i have those and hate my set)

If I were you, I would get another set of wheel locks and run 2 per wheel. I've heard people can still get your rims with one lock by just busting the wheelbolts off.

it is defenitely possible but im not that concerned right now....they are holding good....plus these arent as flashy as the other ones, so I dont think I will have to worry...
