Yesterday and today.

So, this is what I've been doing for bits of yesterday and a bit of today. I'm sick of grey. I hate silver and white rims too, so neither of those were an option. I was considering poishing them, but since the stripper didn't do much at all, it was a question that was easily answered. I wanted something kinda low-key anyways.

On to the pics!

The old colour and the usless can of stipper.

Stripper didn't do shit, and sanding and cleaning were the next steps..

They go on Thursday, I'll post follow ups by Friday or Saturday..
If anyone on here bites this, you're going on my hitlist. :uhoh:

Dont use that shitty "U FIX IT" Stripper from Canadian Tire, Get some Tal-Strip or Pro Form from Lordco or something, works way better.


And Bronze rules all.

hehe siz, such a trend setter :D

Nice... but you're going to be a real trend setter when you rotate your tires... :uhoh:

My tires never last long enough to rotate anyway. :p

I'm not concerned about it.. I'd rock them staggered if thats how things worked out. I just like both colours and can't decide.

:disappoin

think i'd opt for 2 sets...but car with not with both on the car at once :nono:

i give this idea :thumbsdow

like the colors though :thumbsup:

but car with not with both on the car at once :nono:

:sly:


I hear what you're saying. Part of what makes me like it even more is knowing that certain types of people are really going to hate it. Thats why running them staggered would be fun too. Some people are just going to think it looks like total shit, and that's swell. :)

But for the most part when looking at either side of the car you won't even know what the other side looks like.. So to most people who only see one side of the car, no one will even know that the whole set doesn't match.

I seen this in honda-tuning awhile back, so as much as SiZ wishes to be original, he is still a poser. LOL.

....only a ricer would do that.....

That's funny because I see it all the time on old muscle cars and hot rods, that come to my area for a huge yearly show.

do the bronze on one side and the black on the other, but i do like the bronze color

Thats the plan yo..

Here's some shitty pics I took.. Its crappy out and the car is dirty, but you get the idea..

I don't think it looks bad. I see lots of cars with different rims on either side so why can't you have a different color on either side?

Your car looks good. The exhaust tip sticks out a tad too far IMO...

Personally, I hate bronze rims, but I love the black ones, and usually I hate black rims too, but they look good on your car. If it were me though, I'd have them powder-coated.

I agree. It didn't used to, but when my old muffler rusted and fell off I went to get the new one put on on a friday, so I got "friday" service.. :rolleyes:

i love that bronze color...

looking good siz, but why didnt you have like 10 models posing with your car? i thought you were such a superstar that they follow you around at all times?

.... They're in the trunk. ;) Keep it down though.
