Yea, I do have the red inserts and installing those vinals was the most frustrating thing I have done in my life! There is another car in town with similar rims so I had to do something different...

Thanks, but it not only took a full day to get right, I think that ultimately it may have taken a few years off my life too!

I have Sportlines and 19"s w/ a 35 profile tire with no problem...still a litle bit of wheel gap even. He has 18"s w/ a 40 profile tires......it'll fit just fine.

OMG those wheels are hideous!!! I always wonder why people want wheels like that when they come in the shop. What is the motivation, honestly.

Has nothing to do with the width of the tire. He is on 245's and it will be tight. I run 235's in the rear it is pretty tight and I have a 1.2" drop down from the stock SS S/C height. Here is a pic:

not feeling the wheels and im iffy on the stripes. i think the stripes would look better with a silver or white pinstripe. wheels look like something that should be on a caddy.

Wrong. People who want stuff as cheap as they can possibly get it from China are the reason.


Those wheels are point in case. I don't want to sell someone a wheel just because they want to buy it. I want to sell it to them because it will look good also.

Well thats why they arent on your car.... but WHAT THE **** DO YOU CARE!!! It's not your car.... its his. Someone could say the same thing about your rims with those rivets but they dont, or they could say something about the saturn logo on the side of your car... but they dont.

Say you arent a fan... but dont call his ride hideous

guess what.... what you think looks good might not be what everyone else thinks looks good. if we all had the same ******* opinion on what looked good we would all have the same car, with the same rims, with the same color.

ethuggin you? what do you think you are doing? I am simply stating that people do not want to hear that you think his wheels are hideous. I dont think they look that bad.

Just saying there are ways to say that you arent a fan of what he has on HIS car without saying that they are ******* gross and hideous.

I agree, wheels are hideous especially without a drop. Red stripes i'm kinda iffy about, it's definately original and matches the interior, but does it make the car look cheap? Props for being unique, but i'm just a fan of stripes that aren't as bright and contrasting.
