I liked how it looked with the stock wheels better.

Those would be P45Fs. The spokes on the P45R have a more radius look, they curve in toward the center where the P45F is flat.


AH, my bad

Looking good Scheides

Looks great, will look better with less offset.

Those look way better than stock rims by far, but I agree that to be perfect they should at least be flush with the wheel wells. I also agree that you don't want them to stick out, that looks retarded.

I saw the car at the dyno day today. A lot of the chips on the bottom of the rear doors and sideskirts won't come out and the one on the right quarter panel will need body work (obviously), but most of the other scratches will come out easily. Just let me know when you want me to come over with my buffer and I'll spend a few hours getting most of it out.

^^^Can you buff the dents and scratches out of my car from the deer that ran into me? Haha. Your car looked sexy at the DD! I'm really diggin it.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Thanks Andy. I can't really buff dents out, but some scratches are pretty easy to get out, as long as they don't go through the clear coat (or color coat if it's single stage paint).

I didn't examine your car, but it looked nice from what I saw, those wheel look a lot better in person.

While sticking out more might look more aggressive, the way it looks now seems really understated to me, i think a bit more your style.

Thanks! I think you're right, and I think I'll just be leaving them for now. In person they seem just right, and I don't really want to dink around with spacers, just one more thing to go wrong, LOL!

When I got home Friday night, I waxed it with some Meguiar's QuickWax. Nothing fancy, but I think anyone that saw the car yesterday will vouch for me--it made an INSANE difference! This car just needed a good detailing to clean it up! It still has some rough spots, but those will be addressed soon enough. Wow I can't believe how good this thing looks now!

Yo scheides thanks for the ride the other day man. It's been a while since I've just about peed my pants in a car from being a little scared. Twas a nice feeling :)
