sweeetttt. ya boggtown don't worry about the peer pressure...take your time doing up the ride. every summer i do one thing to the car...something to freshen it up and feel new again.

hey the center caps look good also. i see the same center caps on alot of different type of rims, they look good.

I already changed the center caps to porsche ones. It looks better, but would look a lot better if the center of the wheel had a little bit bigger hole, so it would fit right.

Well, it turns out they think the vibration is because of the lug nuts. They new rims have a different taper and the original lugs wont seat it right. The new ones are comming in wednesday. BTW when we spun the wheel you could see it was a little off center, just a fyi for you other aftermarket wheel owners. (check the taper before you buy)

The new lug bolts fixed it. Besides, they are chrome and look a lot better.

Sorry to bump this thread again, but Kronix, did you have any trouble centering the wheel on the hub? Did you get new bolts, hub centric ring, ect... or did everything just go on perfectly the first time?

Hey,

i also had to put the hub centric rings, although it was a tight fit, they went on. i did put longer bolts on the rear because i used a 7mm spacer. so it really did not go on perfectly. hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip!

It'll come in handy when i get around to paint the calipers!

Oh come on, think of it as an investment. College kid with Porsche, tricked out, more stares = more girls staring = larger pool to choose from = selectivity = best mate to choose from = happiness = proper investment.

P.S. (Beware the preceding equation is subject to a myriad of unforseeable variables. For example: College kid with Porsche, tricked out, more stares = more girls staring = larger pool to choose from = selectivity = best mate to choose from = happiness = best mate is actually a psychopath golddigger = divorce = the following picture

Ha, I do get a lot of stares and hot girls want rides all the time. Although I never tell anyone what car I drive, when they see me driving or park it, they always say "So your the one". Long story short, I can have my pick of the litter.
