(new pics 11-28-05 on second page)
decided to restore and paint my stock wheels instead of buying new ones. i used metal files and sand paper to get out all of the curb rot. this took a little while but it was definitely worth it. I then buffed the wheels and used dupli-color wheel paint (black satin and clear coat). I also bought brand new Falcon Ziex all season tires which should make driving in the snow a lot of fun. ill post a how-to if you'd like but its pretty straight-forward. i recomend painting the wheels without the tires mounted b/c you can get a better coat of paint on entire wheel. some pics :       also gonna put Lamin-X yellow tint on my fogs...jdm hotness This post has been edited by Jdog1385: Nov 28, 2005 - 7:26 PM |

looks great, i love the gt wheels. if i had a gt, i wouldnt have bought aftermarket wheels. and i have those same tires and have yet to test them in the snow. hope they work good
 and i have to say i like them more than your 18's, 35 series are way too low profile in my opinion.
