im spotted you at mickey d's on saturday morn!!!! lol

 

Just found these. I bought this car for $200 a few years ago. Pulled the front end out using my current crx. Put a junky hood on it, replaced a headlight, bumper support and bumper (all extras I had) and $6 worth of white spray paint. Car was literally soaked with cat piss inside, cleaned it, bleached it, put a pound of baking soda under the carpet and left the windows cracked while I tried to sell it. Sold it for $1500 to a truck driver passing through. 2nd pic is us loading it into the back of his 53ft trailer to take it to Ohio.

 

What exactly is wrong with them? I had 2 of my wheels repaired at Chrome Wheel Works, and it was fairly cheap.

 

Chrome Wheel Works. Do it. He does good work.

 

Alright, finally got my new wheels put on this past Saturday. Still got to put the front spacers on and do a little more fender work, but very happy with these.


Sorry for the crappy cell pics, but you get the idea.

 

+1 for the new wheels.

 

Very nice, Kevin!

 

Minor curbing on all of them, one has a gouge in the lip, and another one has a slight bend. That's why I was thinking $600 was a bit pricey, the bend is more or less a cosmetic fix and curb rash is a routine repair I'd imagine. Even the guy at AWRS said the damage looked minor. The price he quoted me with $125 per wheel for "cosmetic fixes" $125 for "straightening" or $200 for both. Only one would need both, the others would just need cosmetic fixes, bringing the proposed total to ~$575.









The third one was sourced from a different location than the other three, one in the third picture has the OEM bright silver finish, other three were powdercoated lime green (thank you Mike Burroughs)



then the first two were cheaply covered in silver (green now showing through ) and the last is chromed. What's really got me considering other places is that AWRS doesn't do powdercoating or refinishing at all, ideally I'd like the place that's repairing the wheels and knows where the imperfections are and how they were fixed to do the refinishing for the wheels and center caps too.

Also 4CED-FED I'm loving the wheels you chose, the high offset is nice and the spokes really show off those big calipers.

 

appreciate it guys, thanks for the kind words! Overall, I am very happy with these. I gotta roll my left rear fender a hair more, it currently rubs just a hair where it meets the bumper. Also throwing on a 5mm spacer in the front to give it a little more flush appearance. I can't go any more in the rear though, I am sitting right where I need it to.

One day, I'd like to get some professional pictures taken of it, but until then, these cell phone pics will have to do!!

 

That's about as close to a Evo X wheel that I've ever seen... so I like!
