pwmin Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 so, i took the clear off the rim of my x-laces and wet sanded with 1000git and polished the lip. wasnt any major scuffing. i also repainted the gray to white. i was bored and wanted to try it out. took a couple pics, but they didnt turn out well and it was really dark. i'll get better pics tomorrow. let me know what you think. yahoo photos sucks so if you copy and paste the link, it should work, but y'all prob know what it looked like before. before: after: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 well, i guess no one gives a shit, but here's a better pic i took today. i'm liking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalgorn Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I'm not a fan of the white. The lip looks nice but it's barely noticeable in pictures (due to being bright like the white xlace). Nice job though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam'ron Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Those look great man! did you clear those as well because white will be a bitch to keep lookin clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 i did clear the white, not the lip. i know they're going to be a pia. if i get sick of it, i'll try gunmetal or something. not sure why i went with the white or why i like it, but i do/did.

IBuiltMine-o1oo Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 its different. cool. how low is your car?? looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl3196 Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hmmm they dont look too bad. Damn paul your car is low!! :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted October 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 does my car really look that low? anyone with st springs? adam has pretty much the same setup as i do. i just have st springs and coilovers and lower profile tire (245/45). my car was lowered last time i saw you dan. did i just have the front with the stock tires? i think i had all 4 corners lowered with 225/50's. thanks for the good comments. didnt think that many people would like them. i guess my tires are shorter than adam's, which explains why it looks so low i guess?

sl3196 Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I think you had the 5-spokes on last time i saw it. And yes it looks way low! Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I'm not a fan of the white, but if your car were white I'd be singing a different tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 those wheels look nice, much better then the green GP on here that is sporting black x-laces, IMHO of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexAnalog Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 if you sand and paint the black caps in the middle so they match the wheel, the wheels look much bigger. Mine is half done right now. Pics soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 okay, so i decided to get rid of the white cause they were too hard to clean and the paint was coming off since i painted right over the factory paint. i got the dupli-color graphite or whatever wheel paint. pics are here (first two): http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v476/pwmin/white%20wheels i'll get some pics up when i put them on. i stripped all the paint with aircraft stripper. what a bitch took forever.

ToroToro Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Much better! I have a thing for dark grey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Much better! I have a thing for dark grey... If it weren't for the fact I'm thinking about selling the TGP, I'd paint my crosslace that color too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93z34 Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 kick ass... I liked the contrast of the white on your green, but I must say, the vehicle does look good with the current color scheme. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 i got a pic with the wheels on the car, but i accidentally erased it from my camera, but here's a crappy paint i did over it. i love my xlaces now. i never really liked them before. btw, i'm thinking about doing 2-tone on the gp. im gonna start a photoshop thread later though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97loudcut Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 i donno man about the 2 tone but the wheels look tits (like fastbirds icon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I think 2-tone would look bad. I would save that idea for a car with a bodyline that you can use as the dividing point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89GP_SE Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 i like the two tone.. looks different and looks pretty cool too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
