They do look better, but those tires look way to worn to be used in the winter. At least winter as I see it..

May need a little more tread, but not too bad. Could be a lot worse.


Looks pretty good.

Wonder if some center caps like they use on Caprices would look good. Would have to be a different size. Could be interesting though.

I don't see any paint on the tires... perhaps some TireShine but that is all.

I do see paint on the wheels... looks good.

Those are winter tires? ...or all season tires?

:rofl: Paul love this post!!!!

The wheels look good, I like how you painted them. But I'm with everyone else, do those have enough tread to get you by? Much better without the stickers :D

haha yea i ment wheels not tires. thanks guys i still have to paint the other three before winter comes around. the tire tread is a little on the low side but i try not to drive it in the winter. i put them on just in case im out and it starts to snow. (lilsparkplug)thanks, i think it also looks alot better without the stickers now that i look at.

It most definitely does. Stickers kill the clean look that any car has before they're put on. And your car is definitely sweet looking, the stickers took away from it. Keeping the Honda one though?
