looks clean, one of the best colours in my opinion.

 

[jarvis483]

Thanks bootit. It is fairly clean. Few dings here and there and the usual arch rust is starting to rear its ugly head, but It is a 14 year old car!

Colour looks nice when its nice and clean and shiny!

Helllo guys. Does anybody know of a set of wheels that are similar to DC2 ITR wheels but in 4x100 fitment?

Really like them, but don't want to go down the hub and brake conversion route.

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

[spikeyhairdude]

im in your threads too much only because i been reading this thread from the beginning more then any other builds.

Sprint Wheels - Alloy Wheels
I also have more links if you want them

Edit. It seems like they run out of 4x100

Found one here

[ANOMALY]

coming along nicely

 

[jarvis483]

Cheers guys

bought these wheels just for now while i save for something a bit more fitting. (possibly bbs reps like BSX's or something i think)
theyre only costing me £50 with 2 nearly new tyres and 2 tyres with 4mm tread. obviously going to refurb them.

any suggestions???

im unsure what direction to go with the refurb on them??

 

[Azad_R]

Hmm, I'd go with white.

 

[spikeyhairdude]

Wheel look alrite. as above, go with white

 

[Keith_Vtec]

good luck with it

 

[josh5]

looks nice mate, like thunder grey... a front ek9 lip would look sick! got a spare one here if your interested

 

[jarvis483]

Got a replica spoon lip that just needs fibreglassing and painting properly and then fitting ofcourse.

I don't like the idea of white on grey. Maybe bronze or maroon colour. Maybe a polished lip...... Hmmmmm

 

[jarvis483]

right guys need your input. im not sure what colour to do these wheels so ive come for advice.

so my cars Thunder grey and slammed on coilovers. what colour wheels?

heres the car:

heres a pic of the wheels after sanding down :

even got my old man involved, haha

so fella's what colour are you feeling?

 

[spikeyhairdude]

I think white would look good. My uncles mates got thunder grey car with white wheels and it looks beast.

If it was my car i woultd go for black making the car stealthy.

 

[jarvis483]

heres a quick offer up of the wheels. one front and one back after they were primed today.
front:

rear:

All four in primer ready for paint:

 

[spikeyhairdude]

Thes Cars going to look so good once these wheels are put on

 

[jarvis483]

thanks dude. just deciding on a colour now. the wheels arnt perfect. never will be. the alloy was so pitted. ive done my best working through the grades of sand paper and using high build primer but still not perfect.
the defects probably wont be as noticeable once painted in a colour and laquered though.

 

[Tuff]

Wheels will look tasty in white.
