Got my winter setup painted and installed finally. The weather is absolutely beautiful today (60-65 and partly cloudy) but tomorrow its suppose to drop in temprature and start sleeting. So I decided that today was the perfect day to transition over to my winter wheels/tires. I bought them for christmas after finding that the Rally Innovations light bar wouldn't fit (Evo and Lancers have different crash beams apparently). So I'm sending everything back and picked up some used Enkei DM5's. I wanted a more rallyish look for the winter so of course I painted them white haha. They are 16x7 wheels with 225/60r16 tires on them. I also installed my Window Visors! I was under the impression they were OEM but they don't look OEM to me.

They looked like this but in a lot rougher of shape. They looked like they hadn't been washed since they were made back in 2003 haha.



So after cleaning them up and getting some tires off of craigslist, here is what they turned out like







Now for the installed pics, let me know what you think!

















Anybody know of a good way to get surface rust off of my exhaust tip btw?

 

Any thoughts? Going for a rally style look with the white 16's

 

where in indiana do you live?

 

Greenwood, I've lived there my whole life. How about you?

 

Bloomington. If you ever make it down here hit me up.

 

Yeah definitely, man. Are you an IU student?

 

Yup. I'm an IU student. I'm majoring in accounting but that might change. What about you are you a student?

 

Cool, I was at IUPUI for a while but decided to take this year off. For a few different reasons, but mainly because I have no idea what I actually want to do with my life. I got a decent job with a new company and I'm hoping to grow my career with them as they grow. But they're are no guarantees yk?

Accounting and Engineering are the only two fields that starting salaries have increased in, in the past couple years. Just some food for thought haha

 

light surface rust can be easily removed with steel wool.

nice looking ride!

 

Thanks! I've got a few things to try once the weather warms up. I've gotten mixed reviews on my winter wheels so far, most people think its a permanent change which it most definitely isn't'. I just wanted to have some fun with my winter setup haha.
