Re: Show Off Your Wheels !

Shoguns are also one of my favorite wheels of all time. If I found a set, I would have them chromed black, and put on the beast. Or maybe just leave them. Ahh, hard to say.

I bet gunmetal look or chrome black would look awesome. Or a flat black.

John is right about filling the extra holes too.

I'd really love to find another white SVX and throw some of these on there. But 2 is as many as I can handle right now.

And Nevin, those black Motegis are really nice and match really well.

Re: Show Off Your Wheels !

Thank you fellas for the kind words.

I actually kinda fell into these wheels this spring. A wrx buddy of mine ordered them for his '04 sti, found out they were the wrong pattern, and i got them really cheap, like $250 for the set brand new. Then since I work at a tire shop, I got a killer deal on the tires (BFG G-force.) The whole ball of wax only set me back like $700 and the rims normally go for that themselves! I was quite pleased.

Re: Show Off Your Wheels !

Those do look good Nevin and I'm not a fan of the spokes so how do you like the tires?

Re: Show Off Your Wheels !

Nevin, great looking svx. Is that the original paint? What type of side molding are those on the doors. I personally am not a fan of black wheels on a black car, I would have those gunmetaled on my ebony. I really like the design.

Re: Show Off Your Wheels !

Some of the paint is original but not all as it has been in an accident or two I think. The right rear quarter has been redone, and so has the front bumper, but other than that, yes it is original. I also have a detailing business, and a good way to attract customers is having a well taken care of car yourself. So it's not perfect by any means, but I do my best!

And I love the bfg g-force. I've had them on 3 cars now, and for the money they just can't be beat. I don't do track days or anything, just spirited driving sometimes, but they have plenty of grip for me, they look cool, and they are very affordable. With my work discount, I think I paid like $112 a piece for them. Something ridiculous like that anyway.

And I don't like a LOT of black on black cars/wheels myself, but I have had 3 cars now black with gunmetal, black, or matte black rims, and if it's clean it can pull it off, but it it's not taken care of, they look kinda stupid. It's all just personal preference, I suppose.

Re: Show Off Your Wheels !

Sorry, I missed the question. Did not ignore it on purpose.

I guess I never gaave those things much of a thought. I guess it's just a piece of trim there. I always thought it was a factory trim piece. Here's another slightly better shot with the stock wheels on.



Is this not a normal piece?

Re: Show Off Your Wheels !

Not stock. Never seen it before. Doesn't look bad, though. Are they painted body color?

Re: Show Off Your Wheels !

You can buy generic door ding protectors and cut to length. Thats what it looks like to me.

Re: Show Off Your Wheels !

It must just be generic trim. Its just bare abs plastc. Looks good though, in my opinion. I always thought it was stock. Learn something new everyday I guess...
