Sorry man

Nope, and its more like 6-7mpg . I've been waiting on some headers to get delivered to me that I ordered almost 3 weeks ago from a sponsor on here . I'm hoping if I fix a couple exhaust leaks/re-tune it, that'll be back to normal.


I'm also willing to entertain offers for other black wheels...

yo pat, in the last 4 years or so since last time i saw you, have you still been buying/selling rims? i dont get the point.

Luke. WTF have you been up to man? Its been a long MF time.


And I've been through a good amount of wheels, everytime I get a set, I always think I can get something better. ****, I remember when I would have been happy with a clean set of stock 16inch chrome wheels or even those curbed up silver ZR1s I bought from you back in the day , but things have changed .

I did a quick photochop since they're being shipped to me right now. Not sure if it clashes too much, If I didn't have the black accents, then it would maybe look good.

Damn I would just paint the centers and roll on them for a while, that would look clean.

Donohue96M6Z28

iTrader: (64)

Yeah I'm thinking about that. Don't really want to mess up these 'classc tt2s' though. Do you have any advice on painting them? I've done searches and it's hard to narrow down the best process/products to use...

First step is clean the wheel real good, tape off the polished lip take a red scotch bright scuff pad. Scuff the centers of the wheels real good, untape the lip of the wheel after scuffing, and clean the wheel again, make sure you get all the dust out from the cracks. Once the wheel is clean again retape the lip of the wheel again and use rustoleum semi gloss paint. Thats what I would do if they were mine. Youre other alternative would be to take them to a body shop and let them spray them. Roughtly I was quoted $300.00
when we had the TSW wheels from a shop to paint them. Another thought would be to color match them to the color of the car, it would be different. But when you go to resell them or trade them you limit yourself to that specific person that wants that color. Just my thought. When you get them on the car post up some pics.

Yeah i'd prefer to paint them black. They'll be here on tuesday. I'll prob wait to mount the tires till I decide if I'm painting them. Would you not strip the paint that's already on them?

Donohue96M6Z28

iTrader: (64)

Do you think black or polished center caps look better?

iTrader: (39)

^polished center caps IMO!

SLV_WS6

iTrader: (48)

If they were mine no I wouldnt strip them. That factory paint has already adheared to the metal verses you trying to make the rattle can paint stick to the bare metal.

And I thing the silver caps look much better imo.
