ST rim owners - 6G Celicas Forums

I was just wondering how your RR drums look with your rims on. I want rims but I just can't get past the way my drums look all rusted up and what not. I guess i'm asking, would it look horrible if I got rims and drove about with rusted up drums? Do those that have this type of set up mind that they're rusted up with nice lookin rims on your car? I'm planning on removing the rust this summer.....then maybe i'll get rims?
u can always get them converted to disc brakes. but whatever u do, DONT PAINT THEM. it looks tacky

You think it does? It's not like I'm going to paint it orange or something....I'm going to sand it down, use acetone to clean it off and just use some simple 1200 degree ceramin paint or something close to stock looking?

I wanted to do the converesion but not sure about it yet?

Does anyone have pics??
i painted mine, but i just did them gun metal. so they are like stock, but more w/ a more silver/metallic luster. >wink.gif>

Just paint them black. I don't think it's the best to draw attention to rear drums... >rolleyes.gif>

I'm getting 18s soon but i got these to show off up front though... >biggrin.gif>
