Rims are on the car!

Sorry for the quality on some of them, my damn camera died right when I finished putting them on!! First few are cell, then some in the dark pics with my actual camera, so they're both equal quality just about haha. Anyway:

When I bought them:


Bare Metal


High Fill Primer


Wheel Primer


Paint


On the Car before driving it around the block, thing sat HIGH lol






After driving



Camera Pics in the dark lol

they look really good. Two thumbs up man great job

Thanks dude. They're not perfect but they're a strong 90-95% maybe someday I'll be stupid enough to sand them down again and repaint LOL but probably not.

Like I said way more patience then i have mine would look like a kid with add did them, like me hahaha.

That's how they look the first 4 times LOL

haha right on

looks good!! but you need to lower it BAD!!

Fixed the post so the pics come up...

Looks good Will. Your patience paid off.

Thanks Bill, I tried IMG code but it didn't work, I must have done something wrong

More (Daytime) Pics

I think you should wash your car and try posting pictures again!

I think your tires are on wrong. It looks like your tread is facing the wrong way....I could be wrong though...

Hmm, not sure how I feel about the rim color. The lighting in most of the pics isn't very great. Can you take a closeup of a wheel?

I'll take a look when I get back to my car, they were on properly at first but when I got them balanced he thought my car was RWD and put the 245's on the back, when he switched them back again he might have done them backwards. Thanks for the heads up

Shotcaller - not great lighting here either, but i'll take another one in a few. I hadn't posted this one because it was before the spring settled so it looked RIDICULOUS

it's slightly darker than the car.

Just noticed but are you running two different sidewall sizes? Looks massive up front but 45-ish in the back?

why are you running two different sizes?

Tires are on correctly, thanks for the concern though!

245/60/18 front
225/60/18 rear

Both rims are the same size.. I'm going to run the 245 for the next 10k or so and then i'll put 225's on those too. They are more worn, and i've heard anything above 225 can kill your wheel bearings eventually, but they're still really good tires..

The 2 are 245's and the other two are 225's, on RWD cars they do this to get better traction. The rims on this are the same size but generally the rims are different widths too (staggered)

Yeah but your not rear so why you got two different?

So where do you have the wider ones at up front?

Why are you running a 60-series widewall? Aren't you supposed to run a smaller sidewall with an 18" wheel? I think 245/50/18 should be more then enough for you. I've been running 245/40 for almost a year and my wheel bearings are fine.

Dammit! They're 45's. Haha I dunno what I wrote 60's. They're the stock tires size.. Good to know on the 245's, i'll probably replace them with 225's though..

Shotcalla, this is a pretty good representation of what they look like

I got my altima se-r wheels redone on sunday. Spent all day sat, and sunday sanding, filling, painting. Got them back on the car last night, ill get pics up as well, but damn they look fucking good. Did them a charcoal metallic

Looks like they came out pretty well for DIY spray cans. I think I'd like it more if the color was 2-3 shades lighter.
