I think you should just get an upgraded size of wheels bro, you can always find them on craigslist

wow... i actually agree with the attention-whore for once. she is right.

for the time and money (to do it right) you could just buy a set of EVO wheels, and get pretty much the same feel, with better lines (thinner spokes, less weight, and the ability to put on larger brakes if you want.)

wheel work is hard, they abuse a wheel takes is alot more then just some custom body work, even bondo, will be destroyed in no time... you would need to recast a set wheel for it to last, and as soon as some of the bondi cam eoff (which it would) you would not be able to drive due to the misbalance of the wheels)

Not bad, but new wheels would be cheaper, and look better

1. They are not rims, they are wheels.
2. I think you should fill the indents and paint the wheels gold. It would look mAd TiTe. Post up more pics when you're finished.

Personally, i hate those stock wheels (had them on the 2000 GT in my avatar). I wouldn't even bother doing it if i were you, as stated you can get a NICE used set of wheels considering the cost of doing that to those wheels.

he was being sarcastic. he may not have realized that English is your second language. when people tYpE lIKe ThIs they are making fun of the fake/crappy look cars known as "rice". and i am 90% sure that you cannot fill cast aluminum wheels, especially not with steel.

This shit just gets too old. People can call them what they want. Just like when you call someone a bitch, ass, shit head, etc. You aren't really a dog, donkey, or head full of shit, but people say it anyway because they're so used to it and it's in their vocabulary. Just get used to it and get over it. You can post that all you want, but it's not going to change what people say. Sorry. And have a nice day.

your analogy is misguided. calling a wheel a rim is like calling an engine a cylinder head.

a rim is the out side part of the wheel. is you say you are going to paint your rims, that mean you are going to paint the outside circle that the tire mounts to. the rest is hub (the center) and spokes.

It's wheels, not rims. Kids these days.
