to give you an idea of how shitty they looked before after i drove thru the backed up sewer @ my school.. this is what happened to them, i dont know why this happened either . . . but you can compare the two to see WHY this needed to be done





(yes the tires are 195/55 up front and 195/50 in back, the rears are brand new, decided to go with that, the fronts are the first set of kumhos i've had, been on the rear of the car.. first set of kumho's i've bought, lasted a long time )

Of course there was NO SUN AT ALL TODAY! so the rims aren't show ANYWHERE NEAR their full potential, heres what they look like so far though on the ride



and yes, the oil spots in the driveway are from my car, s**t is leaking oil mad crazy. i got a new oil pan gasket, but i was unsuccessful on taking the oil pan off, like it was welded to the block or some s**t.. got any tips? let me know

flame away :P

then i'm going to take the other 2 rims back to the shop and have them do the same thing to those rims ;)

i'm thinking in the future.. powdercoat the insides of the spokes GLOSSY BLACK

but we'll see right now, i'm just going to leave them alone! =)

They dont let u park in that nice garage?
lol, that 3rd garage is fill with my tools and extra fridge and bunch of other s**t. only car in the garage is my dad's denali and my old car (626, which if i was smart, i would have never bought the Si and i'd be rich ... the 626 was given to me... oh well, can't get rid of EM1 now.. it's and EM1!) and my mom parks in the driveway w/me

did you polish them yourself?

about how long did it take you?
no, i've DIY'ed this s**t before, I can't even come CLOSE to the job the people at "Custom Metal Finishing" did. I'm sick of DIY... I don't have A) the time B) the patience and finally C) the work space (dad hates when i do car related s**t in the garage)

Good idea...! Looks original! Props, and Bump for a fellow EM1...!

Looks good, how much was the job for the two wheels?
$150, $75 per wheel. damn well worth it IMHO


Thanks for the compliments everybody :thumbs up
