Got my new wheels today, thanks Mike.. About pissed my pants with excitment.
I get home take off the front existing wheel, and I can't get the friggin studs out to save my life. One came right out, front left, but the other three are in there good. I am guessing the PO, used enugh thread lock to choke a mule.. Anyone have any great wisdom..

Here's some great wisdom for you............

HAHAH....

so that makes greg a car whore? (qty 3 now?) lol

brian.. lugs? or studs?

impact wrench... or grow some muscle... and use a cheater bar


screw in studs?? use heat to brake the loctite down....

The word is "break" Mr. Joe College Engineer Wannabe

BREAK not BRAKE

Brian,

Probably been covered on the CO gay cavalero site but... you may want to put that lug bolt back in, torque it and then try the others.

(speaking of which... let's see if Brant can weigh in here. Let's see if he'll tell the story about counting with his toes. Braaaaaant ohh Branty-Pooh!)

Hmm... see if they have a college math class
I tried to do it years ago, but my feet would get cold when I tried to use my toe's
I think its a tad bit over 3 though..

especially if you count the car that he bought for his father and is hiding in CA.

heat is your friend to remove a LocTite'd assembly.

you don't need anything extreame like an oxy-acet setup..just a portable MAPP gas or cheaper propane rig will work..

hurry up, I wanna see some pics...start a new thread when you get them on

damn Eric...

that is FRIGGEN funny!

lol

Heat was the trick.... Thnx for the help all. My hands feel like they are twice the normal size from crankin the wrench. Here are a couple pics. Thanks Mike, these wheels beat the shit out of what I had on there....

Sorry for crappy quality...

nuther.

$50 bucks says you still never find 5th gear in your car

you now have the fastest looking car that isn't fast...

more rotational momentum / inertia blah....

it will take him longer to get up to speed...

Good looking bling Bri. Glad you got your nuts off.

Let's see pics of the rear wheels.

Now I just need to paint it copper, and I will be cool like you.....

It might help

but you'll still drive slow

How come the pics are of the one wheel that was installed by 4:00?

Did you get the rest of them on???

Yes just before 7:00PM finished them.. The driver side front was a killer... Heat turn,heat turn.. That one alone took forever...
Will post pics later today of front and rear..

Sweet! Take it for a ride yet?

Just noticed this Gint.. I get them off as often as possible..

Here is a picture of the rear, I will post better pics later..

No gotta get the wires hanging cleaned up.. Hopefully in the next couple of days...
Thanks again for your help bro, I really appreciate it!!

No problema! Take me for a ride when you get the wiring sorted, I bet every pebble is felt.

No doubt they will be... That's why I bought the extra foam pad...

Brian doesn't drive that fast though so it shouldn't be too much trouble.

Looks awesome Brian!

I guess I need to go back and fix my signature Mike...
Thanks..

Here are some pics of the car with the new wheels.

nuther

one more..
Sorry crappy crop... oh well.

Looks real sporty Brian! How come you're not over here taking me for a ride???? Hmmm?


Wonder how well those tires work in 12" of snow? Guess we can find out tomorrow!

Sorry bro Vicki just left to go out with some friends for dinner, and I got''s the kids.
Finally got the electrical cleaned up, everything is in it's place and covered. Now I just need to finish the kneepad.

The wheels look like crap on your car!

I'll give you $400 for the set

Thanks I think..
and
NO!!! Go buy another car would ya... I think you need four... You have a problem, and you need to admit it. You have a sickness... So when are we going to NM?

Brian, what color is your car? I really like it

Brian, What size are those? 15x6? 15x7? 16"? They fit great from what I can see from the pics. Any rubbing on the inside?

those look slow...

They would seem to be 17x7's

Gint They are 17x7.
Not sure on the color to be honest, PO painted it and they did a shi**y job. It looks great from a distance.
Oh and "E"

17's and rubber bands! Got it.

BTW, that left rear rotor doesn't look so great.

Actually it looks like sheet.. Next on the list..

Well no wonder why he drives slow!

Got the emergency brakes on!

Bri, great looking wheels
Am curious how well they do , at over ?? 50 MPH! (Never will happen)
