New Rims on tha Blaza! (56k Killer) - 07/02/08 11:57 AM

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.

I've always thought those rims looked best on rice or euro cars. Small cars can usually pull off a busy rim style. If you like them, then its all good.

Nice, although I would of went with 20 inch rims.
But I like it, maybe get some black headlight covers, and a paint the bottom half of the truck black. Love the tailights too by the way.

What size are those rims.

rims are 18s, got them for a real good price. but Tim its a 94 cutlass, not 92 lol. i think the headgasket is going soon. As for the eclipse, my bro and cousin are DSM heads so they know EVERYTHING about eclipses and stuff. they know all the tricks lol.

wheels look pretty nice...how about some dual exhaust on that sucker...the 4.3 has a healthy sound for a six.
