SOON to be my NEW WHEELS!

Post by GoodVibErations2004 »

So my friend's grandfather apparently was given these rims to sell in his garage sale by someone who owed him a solid. so because of that and my friendship with his grandson.... I get these beautiful 14 spoke msr chrome 18 inch beauties for 100. for the set. of four. lol. I may end up painting them(not sure how id like the chrome on the neptune) but either way its a good deal. Now I just need to know where i can get some 225/40r18's without having to sell my soul. everywhere ive looked has been mad expensive.... anyways heres the pic.

I have bought four sets of tires from https://www.tiresavings.com/ti...icle4picked up my 225/40/18 inch tires from them for 87 bucks each.general exclaim uhpthey do have cheaper tires.Nice wheels... i would def paint them... way too much chrome. Get your bathroom scale and weigh one of them. I am wondering just how heavy one is. they look like lead weights

I think Chrome looks better on darker colors, so you might be okay, atleast try it.

you ca't go bad for the price. i say go with the gunmetal.btw, going from stock 16s to your new 18s ... be prepared for a little rougher ride. once you lower the car, it will look sweet.
