he had 16s on his car which were only like $89 each. saved him a few hundred just by giving him the name of a website

That is ridiculous paying that must for two 16" tires and kind of surprised that he didn't know about tire rack.

What color should I paint my wheels? Plasti dip does not look good after seeing 6ish months of use, figure paint will last longer and be easier to clean. Currently leaning towards either gunmetal grey or gloss black. The gunmetal would get either a satin clear coat or gloss, while the black gets a gloss clear.


Thoughts?

I do on certain colors

So i finally saw a 2016 rs. It was in a bright red. I guess in 2 years when i finally understand the rear end design i'll think about a trade in...

As for rims, chrome and black are my top choices. Black chrome depends on the thpe and color of the car. Depending on the color and type of car polished aluminum works too. Such as on a red Ferrari. Of course it is a ferrari after all. Lol

I am about to order a squared 20x10 set up of gloss black zl1 replicas sometime this week. The 228's are a bit of a gamble for me, i've always liked the zl1's since they came out. I want to get them on before school starts on the 19th, but figure they wouldnt come in in time so im not in too much a hurry. Bye bye patrol car rims. Lmfao

Is it necessary to use heat when putting a C5 window decal on?

Nope. Just stick it on. I wiped the window down with alcohol first.

^^^^
Nice. I got the silhouette one. Red hot, yellow and original red/white. Havent decided which to use...

[CruisingSpeed]

I have mostly a yellow and black color scheme going on, but have a bit of red on the interior and some black and whitish color seat covers. Im thinking of switching them to red/black or yellow/ black.

The yellow matches the rest, but Im afraid of the yellow being too gaudy.
