Rims are nice, take off the unpainted kit though, if you paint the drums, paint them black, no need to draw attention to the almighty drums.

nice rims, but I wish we could see them in the day light. I have a black lancer and am thinking about dark rims, but worry about how they look in daylight

i didnt paint it b4 putting on...and thers a reason for it...my car has lots of scratches and it was keyed by sum haters...so i put it on last yr fall and i didnt want to get the car painted till after winter since i live in chicago...salt and snow...not gud for paint...about the fit of the body kit...front bumper and side skirts fit good...rear bumper is really bad...but im working on it to fix it.

well white body kit doesnt look too bad on black car...but nehow im getting it painted...the body kit is made by idk who...but its the walker kit...the fit ment isnt too great...but now that summer is coming im working on evening out the uneven parts...and then the paint is coming...as far as the strength of the kit...it held up well in chicago winters.

does anybody know the weight of the stock OZ rims, and the weight on the stock LS alloys? (03 Models, idk if 04 and up are diff for ls)

dam, some of the people in here really are ********, he lives in chicago and the winters are bad so instead of wasting his money and painting a kit and then watching it get all f'ed up from salt being thrown everywhere, he is going to wait, but apparently some people in here cannot read. sorry im just sick of reading the same people always puttin somebody down. back on topic....the wheels look good.

Its not the fact he's waiting, its the fact he's driving around with an unpainted body kit. Why not simply take it off, and in the summer put it on and get it painted? Instead of the paint getting some minor oxidation or some scratches, now the kit runs the risk of getting scratches, cracks, etc.. which are much more costly to repair.
