Post I got new rims on my ride....

hey guys,

finally got enough money saved up and i bought some new rims for the car today.. i just went out and took some pics so tell me what you think..



i have early offset so i had to buy some spacers as well.. they are the wheel adapter kind..

the rims are 17" millie miglia replicas in the 53MM offset. im thinking about painting them black. what do you guys think?


take care,
SHAUN

Geez shaun, that rear one looks like it might be a little out of balance, you should have that looked at.

Don't paint them. Painting wheels is the ricey thing to do. Sorta like putting an extra spoiler on the back, doing a carbon fibre dash look, or changing out your front end for a turbo look... er, wait.

Seriously though, aren't the fake mille miglias pretty heavy? I still want a set of 16" fuchs. Best looking wheels ever made, I don't care what everyone else thinks about them looking "old."

"bad" doesn't even come close to that 'chop job.
