Stockers <3

Finally found some stockers to replace the Hanabis that came with the car.

The rainbow lugs stick out soooo much on stock rims O:
Not intentional. Not sure if like.

Damn, new tires are awesome! Ride quality is 10x better. Roads feel smooth now

Love it, but not liking the lugs up close.
Wish I was living in Arizona. I am sick of the cold weather already.

Looks good. Except for the lugs, though.

What did you do with the Hanabis'?

They're at my parent's right now for storage.

I'll be listing 'em for sale soon

Eh, it was wet and gross last night. It's all soggy today :/ Been raining a lot recently.

Johny wrote:Looks much better bro! what happened on the side?

The previous owner was a careless idiot :/ He claims it happened in a parking lot.

It's not awful, so I haven't been in a rush to get it fixed. Local autobody shop quoted me $300 to make it go away

Since I really don't have to worry about rust, the sticker is just a place holder until then

Thanks guys! I'm probably gonna shop around a bit for some new lugs. I like the color of these...just not the size XD Until then I just won't take any pictures of the wheels up close

sooo much better!!!!!

DetergentCandy · Post by **DetergentCandy** » Wed Dec 21, 2011 2:19 am

I knew it was gonna look better, but I didn't think it would look this much better.
I forgot how much I loved the stock wheels until I didn't have 'em

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Wed Dec 21, 2011 9:55 am

Looks great except the lugs and the MP sticker on the bumper. It would look 11ty billion times better/cleaner without the sticker there.

I guess I'm going to be the bad guy and say I like the Hanabis' better :\

EVERYONE is going to stockers these days (appearently it's the "cool" thing to do and everyone commandes others to do it) so it's just like another one

(Same could be said about spoilerless, but hey I like it mine spoilerless) It's clean don't get me wrong, I just liked the other wheels better.

Please get a set of stock lug nuts to go with the original wheels.

I wonder if those are your old wheels that you sold me

That would be funny, but looks good man! I kinda miss AZ :/

Car looks good man, Ive been wanting a set of those titanium looking lug nuts for forever

yeaaaaaaaaaaah stockers!!

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 2:02 pm

I know that some consider stockers to be bland since they were OEM for every SRT-4 but they just seem so right to me looks-wise (part of the SRT-4s' heritage). They are a bear to keep clean though.

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 2:23 pm

At least they're not as hard to clean as the BBS's.

Is it just me, or does it seem like in the 2nd picture, the skirts and lip on rear bumper look yellowish instead of white?

But I need these so my wheels don't fall off O:
If I could find the same ones, only shorter, i'll be soooo much happier. I really like the multicolored look.

WhiteSRT69: Yours had a bit of influence on my final decision to go stock <3
But no. You can't have my black housings. I love them. I love them good.

Shane: Nope. I got these from a guy in Tucson. He said he's had 'em since...forever.

Smiley: I love 'em! I just wish they didn't stick out. They were flush with the Hanabis :/

It was actually several other people going stock that made me want stockers

You forget how much you love something when you don't see it often. I really just don't like the Hanabis. They're for sale BTW ;P
And I went spoilerless with Blackula for a while. I can go either way. But I love the high rise spoiler so much <3

Ya...those BBS's I had on the black car were a serious pain to keep clean. I would go several washes without cleaning them just because they were so annoying.

LSP: The main reason I put the stickers on was because Blackula had 'em x: #Tribute

Tam: I think it's just the angle cause the rear lip looks a little yellow too.

My car did the same thing ... Stone White on "rubber" doesn't hold up well ... my front & rear fascias were repainted when the stripes were added

DetergentCandy · Post by **DetergentCandy** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 3:36 pm

Thankfully it's only noticeable at certain angles and in certain light!

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:08 am

Ahhh I guess I can understand that, for some reason it worked better on Blackula than the white SRT.

Even though I've had trunk leak issues due to the spoiler, I still like the ridiculous-ness of it. And yes, it does make the rear of the car look like King Kong's bottle opener.

DetergentCandy · Post by **DetergentCandy** » Sat Dec 24, 2011 12:59 am

LSP: It did

I think the silver Cuda stripes are what made the stickers work on Blackula. Dunno if I wanna do silver stripes on Serenity though.

Gramps: Leak issues because of the weight of the spoiler? I'd much prefer putting my hammerhead spoiler on, but not sure if I want to drill new holes

No, I keep having issues with the gaskets drying up and allowing water in. Plus the bolts have started to rust.

I say leave it looking as stock as possible, just mod the engine.

DetergentCandy · Post by **DetergentCandy** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 4:10 am

Kinda sorta almost what i'm going for, minus the engine mods ;P

I'm honestly happy with it as-is.

I'm just gonna leave it stock.

I don't even want a CAI cause I like the clean look of the stock box.

/boring

Completely agree. I'm still very biased against my AGP CAI, which is why I have my stock airbox sitting in my parts closet just in case. Unfortunately, it's somewhat of a necessity if you ever plan on going bigger turbo
