they went from black and anodized with curb rash....
to mirror polished and black

thanks guys!
i think 8" wide rims give it like a 9"+ contact patch
they are just 225 yoko es100's (they have a stepped sidewall - ala wider patch)

Wheels are nice though!

Wow! Is it still $75 a wheel for cookies, or does that cost more because they don't start smooth and have nooks/crannies?

no idea - he has a mirror polished cookie in there...
said it was a ton of work (cast and purous wheel....)
Posted by: Elliot Cannon Mar 31 2006, 08:42 PM
Great looking wheels Aaron. The only problem with polishing those wheels is, now you gotta KEEP them polished.
Cheers, Elliot

looks DAMN good man!! SICK!!
Posted by: scotty b Mar 31 2006, 08:57 PM
SWEEEET looking Aa. Damn what I would give for someone out here that could do that. I hate to paint my C2's, but there's no way I'm gonna find the time (patience) to do it myself 
Posted by: Aaron Cox Mar 31 2006, 10:07 PM
thanks for the kind words.
Miles needs a props thread for polishing out the centercaps to match the wheels
Posted by: MattR Mar 31 2006, 10:39 PM

haha, looks good! Now can we go get you some curb feelers so you dont whack-a-curb?

Robert, I think I saw your car at Joe's, didn't look like it needed anything to me. In fact, it looked almost as nice as the yellow one behind it......wait a minute
I don't think I actually met you, however.

I heard it through the grapevine that WIDE butts and narrow fronts are the big hit in Corona 
Posted by: Eric Taylor Apr 1 2006, 12:51 AM
Aaron that car is looking awesome. Really resembles the black 6 from TRE in excellence a month or two back. I nearly creamed when I saw that car for the first time, and seeing your car is like seeing twins, you just can't get enough. Your living my dream . Now slam a six in it to go with the look!
Eric
Oh yeah, how's she look with her top off?
Posted by: Gilbert914 Apr 1 2006, 01:22 AM
Aaron that car of yours looks SOOOOOO AWESOME 
TOTAL KILLER LOOKS.
Here's mine with Eric's 5-lug parts, and my not so polished rims, it could almost be your cars baby brother 
Black 14'S are THE $HIT !!! 
Posted by: seanery Apr 1 2006, 10:15 AM

Posted by: dekman Apr 1 2006, 04:34 PM
WOW...Aaron I can't believe this is the same car! Beautiful job! (and you finally put the side rocker panels on!)

ROFL dekman!
last time i saw you "lets buy you a set of rockerpanels" LOL....
these are stock rockers, but have custom brackets on the bottom so they follow the body line, and not tuck in at the bottom...
its the little things.

Aaron, Your car sure looks good, very nice job.
Posted by: redshift Apr 1 2006, 11:36 PM
Sure, great car.... but worth losing a good friend over? I think not.
Give me your car, punk... I mean.. buddy.
I await your reply.
With pensive regard,
