yep i finally have black rims! laugh It was a spur of the moment thing and i like it!! Lets here the opinions..It looks really weird to not have polished rims anymore..so i kinda have mixed feelings but i think i will like them in the long run.

Honestly, I like your rims on your sig but after I see clubgp. Almost all of them go for black paint on stock wheels. I guess your ride and your choice. Not bad but it is kind like steel wheel with missing hubcap.

well i actually traded with someone because he is trading his car to someone else. The car he is trading for has some black 17's on it, if i like those rims better i might trade these Tstars for those black 17's. But i think i might just end keeping these.

Let me get this straight. You painted polished Torque stars? What a shame. Polished Tstars are hard enought to come by and you take another set of the streets. I woulda been happy to trade you my painted stars for the polished ones.

yes herc. i would have kept mine polished BUT i helped a friend out. He needed to trade his car with the polished tstars to complete the trade with another member on clubgp.

*EDIT* this picture was taken with my cell phone right before i took my car to get the suspension fixed. I will take better pictures once i get my car back. the pictures will be taken tomorrow sometime.

My thought exactly.
I did just find a set of torque stars, sitting on top of a grand prix interior in the gp, blown out windows for $200.
But I have set.
This junk yard had 4 gps, and one was gtp. No fires.
