zerow Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 The rims are sweet! I really dig the look. Old School with a twist. I had a different picture in my mind when you described them. Definitely looks good!:D Quote Link to comment

Definitely looks good!:D thats what im going for with this car old school with a few twists hence alot of the details in this car the rims originally had flat black where the gun metal is but it hought the gunmetal looked better this whole project is gonna have a huge twist once the insurance money comes in :D Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Those wheels would look nice in black or gunmetal color. Nice choice. About your strut, I did not understand, did it leak oil?:confused: Jaime.________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment

Tompsukka Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I think those wheels are way better than what you had in your old datsun! I like 13" or 14" wheels. Except panasports but we dont have them in finland. Quote Link to comment

Except panasports but we dont have them in finland. thanks man i like these wheels and for the price i couldnt say no i liked the konigs but the offset was wrong so i had to run spacers no need for spacers on these so i can run fatter tires :D the low pro looks good but im going for retro with a twist so i want the tires to look more like this when on the car a nice fat tire to fill up the wheel wells :D Quote Link to comment
