Re: Streblo - Black 2003 Vibe GT

What did it run you for machining and painting the rims. I love the look of black rims, and the trough looks great too. Did/do you have any i...

Re: Streblo - Black 2003 Vibe GT

It was about what they claimed it as around 1.6" I honestly forget, I forgot to measure the ride height before I dropped it, then I measured the ride height of a vibe i saw on the street and now i forget what i figured out, measure your ride height front and rear and ill measure mine :P

Streblo - Black 2003 Vibe GT

Here's the Garage Picked up the vibe in sept 2011 with just a smidge over 80,000km on it after it had been driving by a couple for a year who bought it from an 80 year old man with only 60,000km on it. All 4 rims had bad curb rash and peeling paint, there was some trim pieces missing with some surfa...
