    Posted: 05 June 2009 at 2:17pm
Decided to put on some new rims for the truck. Not one for big rims or big flash i decided on 15/8 unique series 287 in matt black (same as the cragar soft 8's). I gona use the stock rims for winter tires now.

Really happy with the look next up is a custom single side sweeped exhaust (with flowmaster 40series muffler).  Eventually i will install new 1:7 roller rockers,  a K&N drop in air filter(the stock setup is a cold air intake) and super chips programmer (firm up the transmishions shifts and tune it for the freer breathing engeine.  I also need to tint the windows and i cant decided weather to put a cap on it or not. 

But any ways heres a few pics of it currently






And one of the truck with the stockers.

Looks WAY better the other way. The new ones just look like your hubcaps fell off.

Both of my boy's cars....20th GTI and the Cellica with the black rims. Black rims can look fresh, but I don't know I liked the way your car was before them.

i think black wheels with a silver lip look good, but black wheels with silver accents just looks tacky and cheap.

not realy, your the kind of person who likes the MX-5.  celicas & eclipses make great time attack, auto-x, and endurance cars beacouse of their stiff frames and suspension geometry.

Ugh the only thing worse than tacky cheap looking wheels is wheels that are drilled to be multi-lug. They look horrible.

I'm not even sure if my car has all the original parts for the hubcap or rim or whatever is supposed to be down there.

I'm just happy it goes forward and backwards.
