White Rims is White

Hey ya'll

haven't posted in a while thought I'd give an update on my rims. The paint and whatnot has held up extremely well and I readjusted the height of my koni yellows

1 finger gap - minus lip kit for the winter


Wheels all washed!




enjoy and stay warm!

Thanks! I'm from upstate (Albany) and I have HR Race and Koni Adjustable Yellow
The Race drop it 2.5 inches and the yellows on the lowest perch (like it is now can add another half an inch or so.

I'm really low with the lip, but I had to take it off for the winter because the winter here has been exceptionally bad

You're telling me! I really do love the multi-spoke rims. and I have yet to see better looking OEM rims, I mean...at least they aren't those HORRENDOUS 02-03 Tl-P rims!

thanks bud, yeah I used rattle can paint to do it too, I couldn't be more pleased with the results.

They get dirty way to quickly, but when they're clean they look great!

looks sweet. Where did you get the decal for the center cap? I use to have a source when I painted everyone's OE wheels but no more..

Those look real good. I think it would look better if the calipers weren't painted white.

SSMTL: yeah I took it off for the winter and its not too hard to take on and off.
Just drive carefully I'm nit nearly as low as those lowcal guys but I make it work

Jcharged: I got them off eBay. 4 Bucks. I actually completely sprayed over my old ones because the glue was stuck on and then once they dried I applied the vinyl.

401: Thanks, what would you suggest? I'm not gonna do red, but I have cobalt, orange, neon green, forest green, and black paints
A part of be really wants to do neon green

And I sent this from my phone so if its formatted weird, sorry

i think because you have red center caps, the only colors that would look decent on the calipers are dark red or black.
