Looks great! I did the same to mine last weekend, then it decided to rain. Now it doesn't look like that.

looks real nice all shiny are the painted rails new?

BlueCrush · Post by **BlueCrush** » Sun Jul 05, 2009 2:15 pm

Nice and clean! Yup, red rails are new...Still trying to decide if I like it or not....I think black rails might look better...???

keithvibe · Post by **keithvibe** » Sun Jul 05, 2009 7:36 pm

yep you guys are good... i didn't paint the rails though. It's vinal that i got. I simply wrapped the rails in it. This way here I don't need to worry about chipping the paint when i use the cross bars

BlueCrush · Post by **BlueCrush** » Sun Jul 05, 2009 10:29 pm

Nice job with the vinyl...can't tell in the photos. Nice color match, too I still think they should be black, though....sorry.

I think the rails looks good that color. I like the way things seems to alternate between black and salsa. I'm pretty sure I'll get booed on this but I think the shark fin would look great in black now that the rails are salsa.

Being my wife's Kia Soul has a 5x114 bolt pattern her old snows wouldn't fit. My old rims are now her new snow tires because they have a duel pattern.These rims:Being I gave my father my steelies for him to use for his snow tires. That left me looking for a new set of rims to use for my own snow tiresWell thanks to Mr Hawkins I now have a new set of rims that will need some TLC but once I'm done with them they will work nicely for new snow tires.As long as they hold air and can be balanced I'm set.This is the worst of the rash.

I ended up buying it directly from their web page. If I can find the info I'll post that.

keithvibe · Post by **keithvibe** » Sat Oct 10, 2009 2:45 am

winter rim update:sanded and three coats of primer with sanding inbetween each coatsanded again and painted the inside gloss black, two coats. Sanded between each coat.Sanded the primer again and got a coat of finishI sanded again and put on a second coat too.One more sanding and one final coat of finish paint.Now I just need to save money for winter tires to put on these.Edit: yes it's the same color as my summer rims. I like the color that much

Quote, originally posted by keithvibe Â»I feel like i could go rock crawling with them lolWas thinking the same thing... Those are going to throw the salt/gravel in the winter. That is why I purchased some splash guards for the 09. Then come to find out I have to drill to install. We shall see what I do... By the way Keith, you did a good job sanding/primer/finishing the wheels. Good colour.

That copper color, just as on your summer rims that you done, looks excellent on your Vibe.

well they are on for the winter...

NJV · Post by **NJV** » Sat Nov 28, 2009 5:22 am

Those are great winter tires. I have the same ones, 205/70/R15, on my 2001 Subaru Forester. Mine are studded, how 'bout yours? Maybe it's not needed in your area.P.S. Love the re-painted stock alloys.

keithvibe · Post by **keithvibe** » Sat Nov 28, 2009 5:43 am

I've owned one set of studded tires and never again... too loud for my taste.Once the snow flys I'll take the car to a parking lot and give it a good go with the new tires to test the limits.

NJV · Post by **NJV** » Sat Nov 28, 2009 11:19 am

I'm sure they'll do fine. Maybe not quite as much traction on ice as with studs, but for snow/slush they'll be great.

keithvibe · Post by **keithvibe** » Sun Dec 20, 2009 9:58 am

I think it's 42+ or 45+ on the offset. I honestly don't recall at this very moment.

BlueCrush · Post by **BlueCrush** » Sun Dec 20, 2009 11:38 am

Oem Alloys are +38 offset.
