I like the 1st one.

[Ghost]

why do they need to be refinished?

[The01Cav]

The chrome was over polished before I got them, to the point they wore off some of the chrome and they also have some pitting to the point where the chrome plating is lifting.

[Ghost]

oh so the company (brand) over polished it? i say go black now, you have black accents.

[The01Cav]

No I bought these wheels used, I wasn't paying $2000 for wheels alone with out tires.

[Ghost]

i still say black.

SC to DC is about 9hours, now you got me thinking................................

Do it Joe!! I love that hood too

[Young gun]

I think the mpd hood looks better with the buck teeth front fascia plus i love your red so it'd be great

[havoc1482]

Hood would def make the car look more aggresive. I've never liked the buck teeth but the hood makes them work for me haha

[Jedi3]

Do it Joe!! I love that hood too

cant now Jimmy the rim and speakers killed that idea. ;(

How about that raise Jimmy?

So the Foose wheels are up for grabs, I am making the car more practical to drive everday. Between the 20's and the Canuck springs the car was just to scary hitting bumps in the road. Of course I live out in the middle of no where so when a road develops a pot hole it gets some hot mix and every couple of years the roads just get tar and rock chips put down to "resurface"..... H&R Sport springs will be installed in sometime today since it's March 1st on the east coast.

[Ghost]

nnoooooo!!!!! its not that bad on CMS and 20s. did it sit lower with the Sprints?

[The01Cav]

So once the Foose wheels sell hopefully sooner than later I am looking to pick a set of these wheels up.

Specs are 18x8 +40 mm

I will be using these tires with the wheels.

Also I am looking into Pedders springs for the GXP too!

[Ringo64]

Like these much better, reminds me of the honeycomb wheels

[Ghost]

wow, nice. in that color?

[Jedi3]

When I was searching ebay for my replacement rim I saw those rims and fell in love with them. I think there Vauxhall wheels if I remember right.

yup I was right...

[Young gun]

Those wheels...

[Ghost]

Those wheels...

[95naSTA]

I definitely dig those wheels a lot more than the foose ones.

They should look pretty good on the g6.

[[ChaosweaveR]]

Holy shit! Those have to be the nicest aftermarket wheels I've seen! I'd rock a set on the GA or Galant in a heartbeat!

[The01Cav]

bling bling 20's are sold.

[The01Cav]

New wheels and tires were ordered on friday in the morning. I am hoping to have everything here by friday at the latest so that I can get everything installed and get my car back on the road again.

[[ChaosweaveR]]

How much were those wheels?

[The01Cav]

$798 shipped.

[Young gun]

Damn where from? and you've gone through more rim/tire combos than i will in my whole life...
