Hey guys, I'm pretty sure the previous owner had my stock rims painted with the same paint as the body and now they are chipping and flaking off. What kind of price am I looking at if I had them stripped down and repainted? Or is it worth it to just get brand new rims cause I think I'm ready for a new look.

-Tyler
forget the stockies. save them for winter. Just buy some new rims bro.

Stock for winter tires like how I roll. I was looking into works emotions, then 6strings or something bought those drags knock offs. Now I want those and throw on some work stickers hhhha.
yeah thats what i was thinking, but i don't exactly have thousands of dollars to put down on a new set of nice rims. I was thinkin possibly Enkei Racing RP03's or O.Z. Ultraleggera's gun metal color. But both of those run around 300 each wheel

-Tyler
Dude like I said before and what Joe just said. Get them knock offs.

man if im gonna buy, im gonna buy good quality and stuff that lasts. i hate cheap junk. have you guys seen the silver 6gc stickers? are they chrome lookin? cuz i might get some to spread the word about the site to our fellow celi's around town. just saw a black half-assed body kit job celi today license: KKC 760. anyone seen em b4?

-Tyler
Knock off are good quality and will last. Just cheaper. If they weren't they'd be sued like crazy.
hey can i still come to your meets? i just bought a 98 black twin turbo supra pumpin 450hp at the wheels! hope thats ok with you guys. i thought it was time to stop messin around with the weak celi's and just go for it. hehe

-Tyler
What money did you use to get a supra?

I guess I was right about you rich kids lol...

I officially hate you now. Nice ride bro. You should've just used that loan on importing a gtfour.

Dude, I'm not going to lie though. I am soo jealous. Hey Rick, don't worry man, I'm in the same boat as you are. Tyler will find out how tough it is to be a broke college student. LOL.....

Oh btw, hows the car Rick?

the car is still chillin. i fixed a couple of oil leaks that i noticed. one was offa one of the oil pan bolts and the other was offa the oil line on the relocation kit. no more leaky now. i still have some kind of subtle knock most likely coming from the wrist pin because the rod bearings are brand new. i might just throw in another engine. but no oil light or loss of oil pressure on the gauge. i'm debating if i should get in tuned as is and chance it.

I remember when I bought my car about 5-6 years ago for 6k.....that was when the GTs were still about 12k......and now I can use that 6k to buy a GT for today's standard. mad.gif oh...well.
Dude, like I said. Lets wait a few more years and just save up our money. We can all go get a gt-four from canada.
