wheel project complete

Post by dawm » Mon Jun 06, 2005 3:01 pm

well my wheel project is complete

Recipe as follows:
stock 2002 ACR wheels (aka Snowflakes) badly curbed and corroded
add a lot of love, sandpaper and dremel for grinding away rash and a bit of elbow grease
throw in a couple cans of primer, paint and clear coat
throw in a cheap set of stock rubber (barely used)
run over to discount tire and get em mounted,balanced, and a hookup on tire warranty
and you have the following...

BEFORE

AFTER -> Image

I think the only thing I don't like about your car is the fenders. They look so out of place.
Thats bullshit I was going to complain about how dirty it was. :lol:
Justin- I have nothing but smart ass remarks to add.
