I agree the guy running towards the bear thru snow in flipflops with a bag of cheetos was pretty stupid. I was taking pictures of his dumb ass waiting for him to get mauled. Now those would have been some funny pictures.

Car looks tough.

Black bears can run 30mph-Fact.

Yeah I read somewhere recently that bears can run faster then thoroughbred race horses.

I didn't want to say this before, since I wasn't sure if the guy in the picture was a friend of the OP, but what a MORON!!!!

As Randy would say "Those Wheels are the bomb baby!" I was thinking about powdercoating my wheels in a gunpowder color. Looks good.

jraymond · 05-26-2008, 05:33 PM

WOW, I have to say you hit a home run with this wheel look IMO.

Dan203 · 05-26-2008, 05:49 PM

I think some red breaks would really complete the look.

Funny you mentioned that I was talking to my co worker about that earlier this week. The problem is brake dust, the reason why I powered coated my rims in the first place was because of the brake dust was driving me crazy. Once i switch my pads to ceramic pads red calipers may be in the future. I was thinking to try to match the calipers to the interior red Boston coral... What our your thoughts????

EODGUY · 05-27-2008, 02:47 AM

Just curious, who powdercoated your rims? I'm from your neck of the woods, so I'll be looking for a good place to get stuff done when I get back.

Not feeling the wheels but to each and their own

They will handle all the sandblasting and powder coating. They will not dismount your rims or provide a place to store your vehicle. That was a pain in my ass. Make sure your happy with the color before they start, they have custom paint also, so make sure to take your time when it comes to the color. the process takes about a week to complete depending on how busy they are.. it will cost around $200 for all 4 rims

you have to admit they look better than the OEM color. That brake dust is impossible to keep the OEM color looking clean.
