My new (not so new but new to me) wheels

[04BlackComp_G]

I picked up some Mille Miglia EV-S wheels on craigslist last Thursday for $80. They're 18x8 with an offset of +40. I had to refinish them and paint them. Here's some crappy cell phone pics. If I ever find my camera I'll take some good ones. Just looking for some decent tires that aren't going to break the bank.

[blueguy]

im jealous.

those rims are sexy.

 

[04BlackComp_G]

I do too. My only concern is the different reading on the speedo. Although I guess I always recalibrate it. I'd love to lower the car but the roads around where I live are s*** and just know I won't have fun on them.

I found some local tires at 100 a piece. I'll hopefully be able to get them next week after the rest of my bills are paid.

Yeah I know, just wanted something different. Trust me I would have loved the original silver but I've always wanted black wheels. I can always redo them at some point.

Probably so. I wouldn't doubt it.

 

[Bio248]

you drive a black car. when will people realize that you cant put black wheels on a black car? no contrast = what wheels?

no if youd have painted them gun metal, a metallic silver, ****...bright blue. THAT would have been something worth doing. black just made the wheels disappear into your wheel wells and they no longer exist.

 

[blueguy]

Black on black is smexy.

Always has been, always will be.

 

[matt5112]

just put black everything on it.

then a year later put chrome everything on it.

 

[TLSheff]

Ugly.... Smecksie.... Its all perspective, I think they'd look better silver or gunmetal at the least to keep some contrast, but in the end. Its the OP that has to drive them and look at them everyday. If YOUR hapy :th_thumb-up: and tell everyone else to :th_tongue2:

nice steal, now get tires and post pics on the car!!!
