Maybe it's not new, but I haven't seen it before.
I love the look of RSR Fuchs. But I can only afford Cookie Cutters right now. So I'm trying to make the best of it, and give the cookie cutters the best chance they will have at looking the part. It's a fun little project. Please let me know what you think. Please note, these are just rough mock-ups at this stage, just to test the concept. If they look good, I will clean them up and paint them nicely. For now, they were just wiped down with a rag, masked, and sprayed. So please don't fret about poor masking, paint imperfections, or the minor curb rash. Here's the first one: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.4.jpg) Yes, my 4 year old and I were doing arts and crafts together. I thought the wheel turned out pretty nice! But it wasn't quite what I was looking for. On this one, I painted the entire lip silver. But I understand that RSR wheels had the outside edge polished. So I decided to try that next: |

The finished product:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961163.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961163.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961163.3.jpg) I wrapped them in 225/50/15 tires, Falken Ziex 912 touring tires. But I could only afford 2 tires so far, so it'll be another week before I have 4 matching wheels. haha (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961164.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961164.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961164.6.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961164.7.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961164.8.jpg) It is a TIIIIGHT fit in the back, especially on the driver's side. But the 225s do fit, and my car is pretty low. I believe that the PO had rolled the fenders a bit, and the fender support bracket in front of the tires down by the rocker has been cut, so that the fenders could be pulled outwards. The 16" Fuchs on the front of my car don't belong to me. They were just loaner wheels while I got my engine swap finished up. I'm going to return them to DBCooper as soon as I get my two front tires. I've painted my bumpers the same color as the Cookie Cutters, with Rustoleum Satin Nickel spray paint. The black part of the wheels is Duplicolor Trim Black spray paint. It has maybe just a little bit more shine than I wanted, but I think that will fade down a bit with time. Overall, I am very happy with the wheels. |
