they look like a bunch of south american indians with posion tipped blow-darts?

i concur....they look amazon although you should have done less red on the lip. A pin stripe would have been mint.

we'll see what happens. right now i cant drive my car with them cause they sit on my fender, so im either gonna roll my fenders, stretch the rubber on to em, get some thinner 205's or go w/ a 16 and slam the car some more.

that sucks man. I'd get your fenders rolled asap. I saw a DIY a while back where buddy used a lead pipe wrapped in a pair of socks... It seemed sketchy, but if time was taken to do it right it's probably all you need to do.

with this town's notorious roads and pot holes, I wouldn't chance running rubber bands (stretched)....you'll probably end up destroying one of them rims ala Steve-O in that blue ugly-ass Cavi.

side note= I like 16's on 7 gens

what about running a 35 tire? it still seems sketchy around here...

and does anyone around here roll fenders? Im not overly worried about it right now because they dont need to go on until spring, and by then everything should be flowin smoothly by then...we'll have a see...

i really like the 17's....if i had of had a good alignment when i traded with jake, i wouldnt of got these rims. there was soo much negative camber that theydidnt rub and sat completely inside the wheel well.

Some enterprising individual should buy this and rent it out:

I'm kind of glad my car has plastic fenders. I "rolled" my fenders with a dremel before paint. worked mint.

maybe ill roll mine with a cutting torch

check it... sickk

Tape off your fenders and use a cutting disc to cut the fender lip off. Seal it with primer and use red touch up paint. It's what I did on my red car and it was mint! Not noticable at all

those rims are sick...but i aint spending that kinda money on wheels...and id rather have black ones.

and negative on the fender rolling...im sellin my wheels and buyin some konig zero's.

konigs are crap.... styling just won't work with what you have... hell i'd stick with the Fast's

why do you say they're crap? i've never heard anything bad about them..but maybe ill keep looking...and whatta yah mean by styling? i think they'd look mint.

There's an ass for every seat. That's why there's thousands of ugly rim designs out there.

they just aren't well made... they are notoriously cheap for a reason

roll your fenders....taper that red stripe into a pin-stripe....and rock it all day with the red/black theme.

it'll look tight....and a lot cheaper then getting new wheels and tires

then you'll have more money to spend elsewhere on the car if need be

i want 16's though..so we'll see i guess.

and theres no way in hell im payin to get those sprayed again. plus he said he wouldnt do it lol.

so we'll see. ill deff. choose another rim if they're cheap though..thats all i need.

anyway. heres an update.. picked it up last weekend.
