    Thanks!

    Not really sure about the wheels yet. Definitely need to be cleaned up. And i'd really like to find some lug covers for them.

      Soooooooo.....couldn't mount my wheels up this weekend. Know why? Cuz apparently my open ended muteki lugs were in my car when it got jacked. At least that's the only thing i can come up with after dismantling my garage from top to bottom searching for the bastards. I don't know why i would have had them in there, but it is possible. Oh well...found a killer deal online and bought another set last night.


      anyways...






      Right now they're battleship gray..kinda. Thinking about stripping them down and respraying them in a gunmetal with a metallic finish. I thought about polishing them, which would be cool, but im not sure if it would work with my car. Im open to ideas, so feel free to make suggestions.

        I don't think you could go wrong with polishing them. It would totally break up that scheme that you have going on, but in a good way.

            I would also like some updates yo And its kinda hard to tell from the pictures but those wheels look pretty decent now. If they need cleaning up, I think a nice gunmetal color would go pretty well. I'm not a fan of uber shiny wheels lol

              For shits'n'giggles i think i might mount them up after resurfacing them, just to see what they might look like when polished.

              Yeah, im thinking a darker color...but i may change my mind....














              Here's pics mounted up.

              Front will go lower, but im leaving it up for now till im comfortable with how it drives over bumps and such. Once i know that im good up front, i'll bring it down a cm or two...or three...











              The rear is tucking about a 1/4in of tread. NO RUBBING AT ALL. Honestly, im amazed. I didn't adjust the ride height at all from when i had the 14in Galant wheels mounted. I was shocked when i set her down and i still had clearance.





              sorta...






              Put on some HOA badges. Also had a passenger mirror block-off plate sitting around so i figured i'd install it.











              Can't wait for bodywork and paint!

                          Yeah dude...too bad you didn't make it. Even if you woulda brought the suby you still would have had a blast. SOOO MANY incredible cars there. More than i had time to see. And the after-meet cruise was fun too. Hopefully you (and your CB) make it to one of the upcoming meets!
