Man, I cant stand fake rivots. I'd rather have stock wheels than fake rivets.

I'm not sure how, but I didn't notice the calipers.... wow... just....... wow.

That's so bad. The OP should be glad that the ugly ass wheels cover them up. Throw a five spoke or loose mesh wheel on there.... ugh. He has to repaint those things.

Nimrak 01-23-2011 12:26 PM

seriously! any ideas of what color to paint the calipers? and im thinking of painting those rims black and using them in the winter only! or selling them but painting them black would look better i think

Kaiser bun 01-23-2011 12:44 PM

ya winter rims can be ugly and no one will judge haha, caliper colors that would look best imo would be black, then maybe red, not sure after that lol.

TopGear8 01-23-2011 12:45 PM

Don't listen to xcon...He has terrible taste in wheels.

Nimrak 01-23-2011 09:24 PM

hmmm black would be cool, i was hoping something that you would kinda stand out so maybe red.. as for the wheels i gotta search around for somethin cheaper den 1grand lol im thinkin no more den $450 for all 4

lateralus 01-23-2011 09:40 PM

You are gonna have a hard time finding good rims for under 450 for the whole set. Could you go with under 800? Under 800 would open a lot more options up than 450. 450 gives you almost nothing good to choose from... And my advice is not to paint the calipers a flashy color. Just go with black or gray

Roidz 01-28-2011 06:25 PM

Wow. Those are some terrible wheels. Good luck with finding replacements.

Roidz 01-28-2011 06:26 PM

Oh, and where you at in Utah?
