Yea it is the same thing you'd do to fit hx rims on there.

GORGEOUS!!!!! Grind the caliper and paint them!!! lol Love the look though..

 

Thanks guys! The pics in that link Scott posted are exactly what I am experiencing. I will color my calipers with something like he did and see exactly where it is rubbing.

They will be visiting a shop down the street and having the tires pulled off ASAP. Apparently, only 1 tire holds air. The others are either popped from a hole in the side wall, or dry-rotted to ****. Oh well, still not bad for $80. While at the shop I will have the valve stems pulled out and the weights yanked off. Once I get them back, it is time for sanding and painting!

Any suggestions for colors? I know that the paint on the wheels will eventually start to come off within about a year or so, but these will be my "play" wheels, and I don't mind re-painting them a different color down the road.

 

Black and leave the 4 circles silver?

 

Be like me and do lime green. Either that or gold. You should do an obnoxious color though, I love that. Otherwise that's a cool idea with the black and silver.

Or else using a tig or something cover those holes and sand it flush, polish em, and have some cheap wanna be cal choppys haha.

 

The phone dials on ur slammed coupe would be sooo bad *** painted a Gunmetal color or something similar. Or bronze/gold? But the Gunmetal would go with ur headlights

 

Those are about as clean as mine were. You'll have to SAND the insides of those rims to get them shiny again. On my set, the previous owner just let them grind lol.



Glad to see a pic of them on an EK. It sorta works. Wish they were 15's though.

 

I don't think I could pull off a colored lip to be honest. There are really no other colors except black and silver on the outside of my car that I could have the lip match. However, I am thinking about it.

Scott, I was thinking of a green color, or something very bright. Either that or bronze/gold or gunmetal.

Hobo, those wheels are clean on the inside! Wow.

Would it be a bad idea to grind down the caliper slightly, and then possibly grind down the inside of the wheel just a tad as well to give me enough clearance?

 

Like I said, I had to sand them pretty hardcore. Mine looked like this before.
