At 8am this morning after only an hour of sleep last night, the door bell rang. FedEx was here. They had my rims. I finnaly got them all installed, they look amazing, i love how they look. but one issue. they rub my fender a little bit. so some trimming is in order. im gonna take a grinder or a cutting wheel and trim off about an inch so i know no rubbing will happen. But when giong straigt, no problem lol, i think they look awesome. What do you think?


EDIT: Rubbing issue all fixed, pouned metal in with a hammer so there wont be any rubbing issues.

They don't quite look right. The black and busy design just don't match the bland exterior.

BTW, whose Eclipse and what's wrong with it?

I'm not a fan of the short sidewall on the tires. Trucks that aren't lowered need lots of sidewall.

Remove the hitch, get a roll pan, and get like some 20" or 22" and slap on that.
