New Car - New Wheels :-)

[Hamrhead]

Well, it took me all of 250 miles to yank the 10 spokes and get the 5 spoke wheels I really wanted. :rock:

Whatcha's think?

Before & After:

 

[Nowwhat]

BIG....improvement.....well done....how did you get the rim rash already....?

 

[VNM PWRD]

I really like it :burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

Huh?:dontknow: I mean the wheels ain't perfect - just stock Dodge take-off stuff, but Rash?

(Not being a smart-ass, but you do realize one of the spokes says 'SRT' on it, right? Hopefully that's what you're seeing)

I just got home from the shop tonight and took the pics. The Tire Guy was super-careful, and he did give them a quick cleaning, but maybe they still have some dirty spots on them from mounting? They'll get the once-over this weekend.

This was also educational. I had no idea they were 6-lug. :dontknow:

Nope - I *think* they're already sold. Headed out to Kal-E-Forn-Ya.
Of course, I ain't been paid for 'em yet, so technically, they're still mine.:dontknow:

 

[Nowwhat]

Well, Yeah!!!

fugger...:thefinger:

bwwahahahaa.....now about that door ding....

 

[Hamrhead]

bwwahahahaa.....now about that door ding....

Well I know that won't happen. The whole damn car is plastic so it won't ding, it'll just crack.

Way to go Hamr

Find a very cool way to make a Killer Car, look even better

 

[Silverback]

Personally I liked the old wheels, but the new ones look damn nice also.

Hope the weather clears up soon so you can enjoy the new toy. I know it woudl be driving me crazy waiting.

Oh, Nowwhat, that was cruel. I loved it.

 

[Hamrhead]

Thanks for the compliments guys.:beer:

BIG....improvement.....well done....

And Mike,

I did check out that link you gave me for those CCW wheels. Those 5 spokers were damn nice and I could've got them for $2,500. Problem was I would've had to 'shave' a bolt on the front calipers and reposition the parking brakes (w/ supplied brackets from CCW).

I wasn't up for that stuff on a new car, which I why I chose OE wheels. Thanks though!

 

[DRamSrt10]

I love the rims, it look much better! congrats man :rock:
