DJ, can you post a pic of the wheels on, once you've grinded & painted them?
Im really curious to see how they turn out on the '08.

Will do. But the grind & paint will be over the Summer. The wheels are what's getting me through the snow right now. I'll get some pictures of them as-is today, though.

Camera-phone pics, but since the wheels are ***-dirty, I didn't really think it made the difference. Need to get new centercaps from Chrysler, but otherwise, these ain't too bad. And once I paint them, they'll be 100% better.

Incorrect. Some tire shine and a good paint job...maybe a or "Lancer" decal...I can see the potential in them Not to mention the cost savings.

They look alot like the wheels you see on rally cars... I kinda dig em... Too bad the rest of you need the 18" bling to fancy up an otherwise econobox car... I think its great that he is using his ride to the best of its abilities...

I know for a fact that the 18's would suck in the snow, guess he might look a little silly passing one of ya'll stuck on the side of the road though huh?

I don't need to say anything. My boys already defended me.

I am definitely looking forward to pulling them off and breaking out the paint. I think they're gonna be really decent with gloss black.

And the one comment I do have to make the people *****ing: most people on the board are riding around on steelies for their snowtires. I'm using real wheels. Shouldn't you people accept that real wheels are better than gay steelies?

I admit they don't look appealing, but did you have to call them gay

Is it just me or is it always the newbies who have somethin' dumb to say It's winter and that means some of us live in places that actually get quite a bit of SNOW, you don't drive a car rollin' on 20" in the snow.... or maybe you do....

Yes. Riding around on steelies says one thing: "I don't care."

Now, when it's "I don't care because these are just my snowtires," I'm OK with that.
It's the people that drive around 365 days a year on steelies (or with two missing hubcaps, like my coworker) that shows genuine "I don't care about my car." And I hate that.

It's a lot about maturity. And also John Gabriel's Internet F***wad Theory.
Link, cuz it has a cussword or three.
