cannt believe they where in this good condition... THE RIM THAT IS... tires kinda SUCK! they are to big so i need to replace them eventualy so i dont rub and my speedo would be correct again.
BUT so far I LOVE EM!





i put those two in front... and i realy dont have much rubbing now. but my fender will fit the tire on a hard bounce!!!! but only realy hard bounces!
so i guess at least he grinded alot of the rubber away so now i dont have to. LMFAO

tho now i REALY NEED TO clean the rotors/drums and brakes now

tho im to tired today so im not gonna do anything to them today.LOL

tho im only gonna do them in black so its no big difference besides hiding some rust

also now i gotta think of some other way of lighting the rims...... LOL
also polish up the inside of the wheel lip! that should give them a realy sweet look!!!!!
so far i love em!!! i just gotta be carefull hiting big dips and railroad tracks now.

gotta change my crazy driving habits now!

i actualy have NO IDEA!!!!!
i know it says ALT on the center caps.LOL

this is what the listing said.
"
Four 17" Chrome Rims with low profile tires

*
17" ALT Chrome Rims in excellent condition, 4 lug universal pattern.
*
215/45ZR17 FULDA CARAT EXTREMO radial tires, Made in Germany. Fairly new condition used for 3000 miles,
Backspacing = 5 & 7/8 inches = 149.2 mm Positive Offset = 1 & 3/4 inches = 44.4 mm They were balanced when last installed on vehicle, not after disassembly.

i have no way to confirm anything!

tho i noticed this spot on the rims that look like a spot for either a brand name or maybe for a spot to etch in your own name for theft recovery maybe.......


i cannt wait to see how good they look AFTER i polish them up over the WHOLE lip even in the rear!
AND cleaning up the rotors/drums and such..... now that you can see behind the wheel and everything. LMFAO

and with some right tires as well!

but i love that comparison shot!!!! IM SO GLAD I TOOK THAT PICTURE.LOL
looks like a HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!!

they look like those Motegis that everyone has.

I'm not a fan of the chrome, but get that tire size issue worked out soon!

ya only thing im worried out hiting is the fender!
those wore spots was like that from previous owner... THO ill replace the front ones first cause rear looks to be clear so far! tho due to turning ill do the fronts first and then replace the rears. just dont get paid enough to do all 4 at once
and get my next check towards front two tires. and next for insurance

plus i wasnt so big on the chrome either BUT im looken for CHEAP and used was the best way and thier was two sets of rims i saw close enough for pickup... and these looked AWHOLE LOT BETER than those.LOL


and those had one blown tire.
these only have one minor spot on one rim and on the same rim it has a imperfection in the chrome i think..... well not the chrome but actual rim under the chrome. tho so small ya never know it unless ya look REALY CLOSE!






i was looken for some black/with polished lip BUT havent seen any of those used for sale in the past 3 months

always a few haters on every forum!

what always pisses me off is ALL MOST ALL HATERS INSTANTLY ASUME im trying to copy that dam movie...... what next.... if ya like to drift... now its watch out tokyo drift....... LOL


ive had underbody glow for a good 10 years now! i put it on every vehicle ive ever had! only difference is now ive gotten beter at a good even glow from corner to corner and alot brighter then when i started out!

but now i need to figure out how to put some green glow on the wheels for a real even flow all the way around the car now that i have some nice wheels!

then one more LONG strip about down the middle of the car for a complete full glow!
gotta experiment alittle.
BUT even tho your stuck on your opinion from watching 1 movie that had underbody lights....
at least mine are CORNER TO CORNER! and all bulbs are HIDDEN!!!!!!!!! alls you see is the glow on the ground!

two things i dont take any lip from MY BASS AND MY LIGHTS!
those are the first things i put on ALL MY VEHICLES! only vehicle i havent done underbody lights on is my bus! cause that sucker would take AWHOLE LOT OF LIGHTS!!!!!!

and just incase you think im playing. LMFAO TADAAAAAAAAAA
