Default what ya think? painted rims...

tho these will be my winter/beater rims AFTER i get my new NEW rims... just to much $$ that i dont have right now.LOL


well total invested so far... about 106bucks
wheels, paint, sand paper

tho i must say WOW one rim MUST have been hit with something during the wreck the guy told me he repaired... didnt notice it till i was sanding on them... BUT its decent so shouldnt be a problem still a KILLER deal for 75bucks for the wheels/tires. tho i do need 2 new tires... future purchase... i just want these on my ride ASAP so just waiting for the paint to dry overnight before i mount them and shine the tires up...

worst rim BEFORE

i used some black wheel paint...
heard it shouldnt chip as easy... SO HOPEFULLY IT WONT BUT eventualy when i find out what my paint code actualy is... a black with blue flake in it.. id like to paint the rims with that color matching paint.
BUT these will just be my beater/winter rims when ever i get my NICE NEW rims

i like these MUCH MUCH MORE>>>>>>> BUT $$ wise it will be awhile before i get enough cash for them.LMFAO hell hard enough paying the 75bucks for them right now....... LOL


those should REALY LOOK SICK on my civic!


they are same style as i had before but chromes and they were rip off style instead of real MR7s
those these should look way beter now that im lowered

wow man, why are those gonna be your beater rims? Those things look sick, you could prolly tape them off and paint the chrome lip and have the color rims youve wanted for a while now

There's not much of a lip on those to paint though.

You finally got some rims man! I don't like all black rims, but it definitely beats steelies. Sweet steal man.

ya anything beter than steelies... and hell rims just happened to be the right price[8D]

i actualy wish i didnt sell my old rims until i bought my new ones.... BUT o well i preaty much got my money backl outta them rims and these were preaty much dirt cheap! it shocked the hell outta me when i found out that i actualy won the ebay auction!!!!!! i though for sure NO WAY IM GONNA WIN ANY RIMS for 75bucks....
i know they where curbed preaty good but still i thought 100-150bucks easy..... but i guess no one else wanted to mess with them i guess or just forgot about them he said 9 people where watching that auction... and i bid that begining 75dollar bid 3days before the auction ended...
