This is from yesterday 8/16/00, I got my new rims, these are Enkei RTS's with Michilen Pilot LTX's 255/55/hr17. I also got my windows blacked out. I will have more pics soon, I only had two left on my roll. I took some more, but have to finish this one now! When they are developed I will show you my rims closer up, and my white face gagues. Next mods to come, when I get my wheel spacers and have my fender flares, bumpers, and spoiler painted the red body color ;-)

Sorry for the mess ups, I put some of the pics in the wrong place. They are fixed now. So what does everyone think?

Looks good! I want to paint my bumpers, too. Are you taking yours in to a shop?

Looks good.

I see what you mean about needing the backspacers. It needs a bit wider stance.

yeah I need the spacers in the rear especially. THey just swallow up the wheel. I am going to get the bumpers done at my local autobody place I think. My father is friends with him, so I know I will get a good price. I contemplated doing it myself, but I have no experience with painting automobiles. I think this one I will leave up to the pros, so i get a nice finish. Once that is done, I will zaino her up, and will post more pics. I love the rims too. When I first saw them off the truck, I wasnt sure. They looked kinda different then the pic. I said to myself, I hope I just didnt waste a grand plus on something I dont even like. But after I got it washed, and polished them up. Wow, I love them now. I definetly get alot of looks. I live in a pretty urban atmosphere, and there are alot of tricked suvs, but they all are slammed on the ground, and have big chrome wheels. They are soley for show. I am trying to keep my look more performance, then gaudy chrome. I like that I can take about all the tricked suvs, and most of the little tricked cars around town. Especially considering I havent even really done a major modification performance wise.
But thanks guys for all the positive feed back. Keep it coming ;-)
