Default New wheels pics

It finally stopped raining so I could take a few pics, these are the motorsports with the gunmetal centers, still not sure if I liked the chrome better though. The ground was alittle uneven but it is lowered at all four corners,lol.

I like! I've always thought a darker rim looked good with red

Cool, I think it looks great, much sporter than chrome IMO.

Now there are two of us in OH with torch red Z and cheapo gunmetal rims!!

Thanks for posting the pics, I will post mine up also, should have them this week.

Hard to tell from pics, but I think the gunmetal's even better looking than black on the TR. Congrats.

These are a little different than some of the other motorsports in the difference is that these have a little bit of a lip on the rears, I am not sure of the size but I will take a look when I get home this evening, trust me it is not huge, similar to the factory size. The outer lip is polished by the way, the more I look at them the more they grow on me.

The lip on the rear wheels is about 3/4-1 inch depending on how you look at it. The fronts do not really have any depth to the lip, just polished. If you need close up pics of the lips let me know and I can get some pics and email them to you.

If you don't, post up some pics, I would like to see them! Where is Hilliard? I live in Parkersburg, WV, just across the river from Marietta, Oh.
