I'm partially guilty of this. My Galant VR 4 only had 2 hub caps, but, combining that with a roof mounted luggage rack and Disney license plate frame made it the sleeper from hell...but you're not allowed to hate on me since I did it on purpose

 

Sheep, youre legendary! a nice powdercoat, some vinyl lip work, wheel spacers and youre set!

 

I'd love to add drop. If I had the money, I'd be ordering springs right now. But then, if I had money, I wouldn't be on junkyard rims.

As you said, it's OK because you're doing it on purpose. You care, just in a weird way.

Thanks. What's vinyl lip work though? I've never seen rims with vinyl on them.

 

I'm guessing he was referring to doing a small vinyl strip around them (instead of painting them) to add that Time Attack look to them.

 

Some thoughts after a week:

- Car rides very smooth considering the wheels aren't balanced yet. No noticeable issues, even on the freeway.

- Hasn't snowed a flake in a week.

- The famous GTS "pull to the left" is gone. I'm seriously wondering if it somehow comes from the stock wheels.

- Car feels a bit lighter and more nimble. My brain wants to say that it's from the lighter wheel/tire package. Could be placebo effect, though.

- Plans for the Summer set are already under way. eBay is being heavily considered. TireRack also. Having trouble finding decent Summer tires in 205/60/16 (TireRack only has one offering in a Summer tire, and it ain't cheap).

- Still need to clean the car/wheels. Can't really hit a carwash when it's 30-degrees, though.

 

Um ok...... here ya go.

 

dood, that's just mean!! hahahha, that's sadistic.....
love it, haha

 

 

Hey it could be. Read a post on another forum from a GTS owner. Who went to his dealer regarding that issue. And based on a bulletin issued from Mitsubishi regarding a solution to that issue, they simply changed his tires from the stock ones to Pirelli Pzero Nero M&S.

 

But did it fix his problem? That's the real question...

 

Tiny update:

Chrysler wheels will officially be the "winter wheels." Once it gets warmer, they'll be coming off and getting a paint job to gloss black. And I'll finally get around to replacing the center caps...
