That used to happen to me because of firewall settings. What browser are you using?

I knew it ha! I thought those wheels were from a S14 i could tell you did the 5 lug conversion already but are you going to stick with the S14 stockers or put some other wheels on it??

Haha yup! For now, those are the wheels going on them. I haven't thought of what I'd change them to in the future. I sanded and painted them in gunmetal. Here's pics!

before & after. sexy eh? lol. :naughty:

There's been more work spread throughout the car overall :D so I have kept the wheels as they are.

Yea they look great i did that to some G35 wheels i have.. I was in stines and i found this chemical that takes off the material that they have on them it works good but not great i decided to just have them sand blasted.. Now i just got to decide what color i want to paint them...


(the wheels are the gunmetal 7 spoke 18"s)

I'm leaning towards getting them powdercoated Pearl white to match my car but im still thinking about it.

Ok don't mind the god awful wheels on her right now this is how I bought her in november 2010 she has not changed as far as looks except she will have the G wheels and the brakes stacked on top of them (the wheels and rotors came on my parts car) as soon as im done putting her together.

As far as performance oh she is completely changing :)

In this pic you can see the g wheels already stripped ready for paint/powder to the right also the rotors

Do you think I should powder coat the wheels pearl white to match??

Also i am debating on sand blasting the spokes of the chrome wheels (they are 3 piece wheels) that are on my car then paint/powder them

Ah yeah, about those.. :P Haha that's understandable though! I only suggest you do the stronger finish of powder coating if you plan on keeping the wheels, then yeah it should be worth it! But make sure the price range for all that is necessary is legit! :dblthumb: Otherwise, the decision is entirely up to you! I think they'd look nice in my opinion!

Hmm, that's odd. They probably started loading everything back to basic again according to what I'm reading under their technical issues.. lol. Do you happen to have Firefox by any chance? I go on there, and it never had issues loading anything. :)

No Ma'am! Just got this computer. I may have some settings on this thing that's keeping me from being able to see it. I'm still setting it up. I'll poke around a bit and check back and then probably spam this topic about the awesomeness of your car. :3

Late on answering but, Google Chrome is your friend. IEX, however, Is not. (Think of it like the poopmobile of the internet browsers.)
