Get them on!

Those wheels kinda look like the prodrives boondocksaint rocks. What do they weigh? What size of tire is that?

I don't know what I'm doing because I've never installed springs before.. but I think I can figure it out. Plus my buddy is going to help me out and he is pretty car savvy.

Rims weigh 19.2 lbs each

Tires are 235/40/18

They do have a slight green hue (I'm guessing thats where the "emery" comes in), but they definitely look more bronze/gold. When the sun shines on them, I couldn't even explain to you what color they are?! I am loving them so far though

No these are not the ebay ones, those are the black "Evoke" rims in my first post. They did the trick for the winter but you can definitely tell these are cheap O rims. The "polished lip" began to rust after only a couple months... ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?

I'm liking the wheels man. Not the common gold everyone has. I'd like to see what they look like with some rolling shots.

I'll try to see if I can get a buddy to snap some pics for me sometime.. otherwise you will just have to wait until I make it to another meet!

Gondy, I think those rims look sick as hell!

Tires look like 235/40r18

Let me know if you need any help with the springs. I've pulled my suspension apart more times than I'd like to admit. We could get them done in 2hrs, easy.

+1 on the wheel choice!

***Gondy*** · 04-17-2008, 09:06 AM

Thanks for the compliments!

I'm thinking one of these weekends coming up in May will serve as a good time to do some installs. Thanks for offering to help, I have to wait on my parents to leave for a weekend to free up some garage space, and steal a spring compressor from somewhere??
