  • updates on the wheels

    Got them all painted and fitted, mashed the front guards (they're far from done yet as I need to buy some legit tools to get it perfect), dropped it, cambered it and spaced the rears 10mm..... i'll also work the rears more to match the fronts once I get the tools.....

    I had my wheel shop machine the edges for me to get rid of the terrible curbing and roll them true before I stripped them and painted them. I decided on painting them a colour from Hyundai believe it or not, it's their Espresso Pearl; It turned out a lot darker then I expected but meh...













    and fitted with 205/50's
















    I've been gunning for that chunky tyre look to get away from the stretch scene. This thing is getting beaten on the daily and i'm loving it, it's good to be back playing again!

            Yeh man, I would've loved the colour to be lighter too, I'll run these for a bit and if I don't get new wheels then I'll refinish them in a different shade

            Haha, also, have I spoke to you about engine stuff?? Hahaha....... And no, they're still for sale .....

              Nah you know I love it. When you first told me the colour I was thinking it was the same as a new kia colour (they both share the same parts and such, so might share colours) but I'm not sure now. When I worked at a dealership I saw a brand new kia in a similar colour to that, but it was a bit lighter. couldn't believe it, one of the coolest colours I've seen, and it was on a kia.

                            Lmao..... I've seen a few similar colours, all of which have been lighter..... This kinda killed two birds with one stone for me because I was going to go black or bronze, lol.....
