the wheels

Posted 05-31-2009 at 06:42 PM by rush2252

Okay. I posted a thread on this heres the finished product. Ive gotten more comments on these wheels than Jay Lenos chin. Like it or not they are Gold and Im not changin it.

This was one of the coolest easiest mods Ive done. Most people assume they are powder coated and aftermarket. I actually used wheel paint and taped off the lip. They are clean IMO and you cant beat the stock 16s....

Here is the car as I bought it last summer. The pictures show progressoin from the last two months up until as it sits now. The conversion is complete on the exterior minus the door caps. Im having issues locating a good donor set.

This is/was a 95tsi and is now a converted GSX. Im prepping it for paint as we speak keep that in mind.
