Just got them back from my friend painting them. I still need to dust them off a little with a micro fiber cloth some.
They got new tires and go on this wednesday.

[Killa_dsm]

Wow those look nice! I like!

 

[VTEC_THIS]

They're gonna look sick on your car.

 

[VETTE_50_TH]

Pretty good, put those bad boys on the car and we'll go from there. But, the like hoe you left the lip polished and the spokes black. SICK

[Eclipse98Spyder]

We buffed the hell out of the that lip. BUt after about a week I am going to go back with some 3000 grit sandpaper and then polish them up some more

Awesome job!

 

[Eclipse98Spyder]

Got them done just in time for the all mitsu day at the drag @ Englishtown this weekend, plus I mean they look better then the talon wheels

 

[AWD_Boosted4g63]

wow i like those a lot great way to save yourself money on buying new rims

 

[kmoore]

Post some pictures up of them on your car. Those do look great

 

[Dragon TalonTsi]

Man, those are nice. 2gb TSi AWD rims look good like that too. Anyway, where did you get 3000 grit sandpaper? I can only find 2500 most of the time. Let me know where.... Thanks....

 

[Eclipse98Spyder]

Yeah I didnt get 3000 grit that since I have to wait a week but you can get it at a body shop

 

[Misterio]

those rims are going to look so clean on that car. can't wait to see pics

 

[Eclipse98Spyder]

^ The gap is making them look odd.

 

[BoostedinSoFla]

Let me start off by saying that those wheels look really nice and the car itself looks good but I just feel like you're overkilling the black color scheme in my opinion especially with the tinted/smoked reverse lamps. Maybe it's just me though...
But anyway get that somabitch lowered and paint your rotors/calipers and should be set.

 

[Artago]

Very nice.

 

[JWoodley]

Over the next long holiday I'll be doing the same to my GSX 17s. I'm just debating a dark gunmetal or black. I have a black 2g as well.

 

[vanilla gorilla]

The car sits soo high that it makes them look small. I agree with BoostedinSoFLa, that you got too much black. I think it would look alot better with clear reverse lights and factory red tailights. I also noticed you have no spoiler. I would think that you took it off and shaved the holes but it doesn't look like the car has been painted before....It didn't come wingless from the factory did it? Because I've never seen a factory wingless spyder. Nice car BTW. I've got one too.

 

[InfiniteGSX]

Dude, wanna go offroading with me later this weekend? ... Seriously the car looks hot, but..... Are you lifting it? It sure does look lifted! My car is on stock suspension and doesn't look that high. Drop it already!

 

[h8r]

Digging the wheels bro! Looks great!

I want to do that to mine ..Problem is ..they are Chrome it they are peeling.. i need to find a cheap set of silver painted ones!

 

[Eclipse98Spyder]

See heres the thing I CANT lower it because my driveway is at such a grade that my bumper scraps going down it now, imagine it lowered. I would LOVE to lower it and prob will once I move in with my gf but for now I'm stuck with my monster truck suspension.

I dunno the black may be over played some but I like it like that

Yes I bought the car like that without the spoiler and at first I thought all spyders were like that but apparently they are not. I like it but it has some fading going on that really makes it not good looking at all.

I was also told and I didnt know I didnt have side skirts..Anyone know where I can get a pair at?

 

[InfiniteGSX]

Angle it!

Finding a wingless DSM period was rare from my point of view. They exist... but hardly still around. There's a Wingless RS sittin at Garcia Mitsubishi that was abandoned... ... I've never seen a Spyder come OEM without a wing. I've seen my friend with his black Spyder remove his wing and mold the holes, but never a spyder that came that way from the factory. Just a couple random RS's.
