Dude, i know. I have taken ****s that are better than these wheels. I figure I'll play with them a little bit seeing as I dont care if I screw them up. When I get new wheels I'm taking these straight to the recycling center. They're not even worth selling.

I'll pay shipping!

And Durdan, I would never have expected a pro such as yourself to recommend cutting springs.

I'll have to photoshop black with a red lip to see how it looks.

I'd say stick with silver or something grey (like gun metal), all the other colors contrast the car too much. If you are going to do one of those colors anyway, I strongly suggest black and keeping the lip of the rim silver since these particular rims aren't spoked. Good luck and lets see how it turns out.

dude, in all honesty....

rock the steelies and go get you some snap on chrome rings for them... then you have the polished lip! haha thats what we used to do years ago.

and cut springs are fine as long as you dont drive the car! HAHAHAHA

i used to rock blown stock struts with cut eibach sportlines on my first drift car... rode great! noisy... but great!

Like I said, I'm getting Megan Coilovers sometime this summer. My turbo parts are coming in now so they're on the backburner. I'm leaning towards bronze now lol even though nobody is feeling it. Im gonna do that black&red to see how it looks first though.
