dude check these out diamond racing steelies... i think they would look hot on a lancer... also what is the widest rims we can run... 8inch??

 

those look like there suppose to be on a truck haha but there pimp

 

yea i tryed picking some of those up from at one time...no luck though... imnot sure what kinda offset can be ran w an 8 inch wheel. i know i can fit an 8 inch wheel w 32 offset easy but not sure how much lower of an offset can be had ive yet to try that

 

would a 195 tire on a 7 inch rim be stretching or what... how would it look?? nice and stretched or retarded

 

na that wouldnt stretch at all 8 or 9 it would

 

Damn, I hope my rims look as good when I get back home and put them on.

 

post some pics when u get those home i wanna see^^
heres my update pics, refinished my wheels(*again)


chrome/polished/mirror finish/better..

 

ok explain how you do that polishing bc i want to know how to do it drop me a PM if you have time.

 

agreed

 

nice dude... you must have some time on ur hands to do this... what kinda spacers do you run..... and whats the biggest spacers we can run without running into problems like the bolts not being big enough and rubbing and such...

 

10mm is the biggest you can run.

 

Hey ive been thinking of doing Rota slips polished on my car
Light weight JDM style rims FTW!

 

What type paint did you use for the gold finish that you had earlier? I was aiming for that, but only found the bronze rim finish.

 

i used some krylon gold i got from wal-mart then like 2 coats if clear.

for spacers walkinkaos is pretty much right you dont wanna run anything to much bigger than that bc there isnt enough stud for it
i use these spacers i got from pep boys..ive been meaning to take pics of them for the longest(ill get to it )

as far as polishing goes, i used aircraft stripper to get all the paint off, then you basically just sand away. first start off w like 700 or 800 grit depending on how much paint is on the wheel, and work your way up to 2000 grit. then after u sand w the 2000 grit i took some mothers mag polish and a small buffer and buf the rest. this is what i did when i polished it may not be right but it what i did. oh and it takes forever to do this lol not very fun.....

here is a small update: stock hood back on again

oh and my wheels are more on the silver side more than a super clean polished finish now

 

Nice....definately gonna redo my rims now to get that gold look
