Finaly got them painted black and the spacers I ordered came in. So of course I had to put them on tonight and go for a quick ride.

They look cool as hell. I need to switch the front to 1 inch spacers though. The 1.5 is making it touch just a slight bit over bumps.

I'll get the fenders reshaped and pushed out a bit them go for the 1.5 inch.

Pics man!

turbo 18'' twists? or 17in twists?

I think a super glossy black is really nice for those rims.

Yeah I suck

um 17s. I used a flat paint but it came out a little shiny. I'm gonna wait a few days for the paint to settle then use a heavy compound to make em look a bit flatter.


It said 17x7.5 up front but I suspect it may be 17x7 rear is 17x9 and looks bitching from the rear.

Be surprised how many people have asked me that. biggrin.gif

Unless they offer a butt load I'm holding onto them. They work really well in the rain and they sure are pretty wheels.

I forgot my camera but seeing the new wheels in the light the car looks mean as hell.

subtle, yet agressive.

knarly though soft.

"going to get groceries" meets "I'm going to smoke that 911"

two thumbs up. =-)

TurboMan was born when I was a Sophmore in High School. Maybe it is the insurance..... =-O LOL

Look pretty kick ass. I fits the car. Black wheels rock!!!
turboman808
OK so I think I need to wet sand these to get some runs and wrinkles out. I thought rubbing compound and a mothers powerball would do it.


So I think I need some direction here and possibly a list of what products to get and how to use smile.gif
