one guy had them done before..





they look pretty good to me even though the pictures aren't the best. i think they were plasti dipped too. should look good on a black car.

They were 35et. The fronts were 8.5 width and the rears were 9.5 width.
I'm running stock suspension but the fronts where about 1-2mm away from the shock and about a few inches away from the bottom of the strut. And those measurements were without tires on.

looks cool on red. he did a good job with all the black accents. sometimes i just feel like a black car needs a silver lip with black rims to break up all the darkness lol. wouldn't plastidip chip off kinda easily?

Plasti-dip holds up pretty well. I had it on my grille for a month... no rock chips or anything.

yeah pretty much what he said. it's easy to take off too. im just not sure how itll hold up through a car wash. i dont want it to start peeling off half way through the wash..

so what was the offset of those new wheels that did not fit? its too bad they didnt fit...
did u have fit issues on the rear too?

idk why i never thought of this for wheels...its a good idea since it peels off. any idea about the pros and cons of the spray vs. brush on vs. actually dipping?

draz.amg

well as for the pros like you said, it comes off easy. its cheap too. cons of course would be its durability but from what ive heard and seen, it can go months with no problems at all and still look practically new. and if anything were to happen, you could easily respray it yourself for a fraction of what the cost of actually painting it would be.

i had the stock wheels put back on today on hankook v12s and the ride difference is night and day. the car is much more comfortable and actually feels like a mercedes again.

the rims stand out a lot, though. not sure if thats good or bad. i think ill go ahead and plasti dip them during the weekend and see how they come out.

Nice car. Love your quad work!! May I ask if you use the original bumper and cut for the new tails or if you change the bumper or instal a difuser??

lovely machine.

Thanks! It was the original bumper. My guy went at it with a dremel which was pretty scary at first but it came out clean, hah. Didn't install a diffuser. Just basically cut the bumper to make an outlet for the right side and welded everything else together.
