    New Rims

    Couldnt deal with the stock rims.
    Went for some Dick Cepek DC1s in Silver and blk.
    17x9s and some Michelin 275-60-17s.
    Turns out the new rim/tire combo actually weighs less
    then the stock wheels and tires.
    Michelin is known for having less heavy tires then most
    manufacturers out there. Combined with the Cepek wheel
    it came out to be a nice package.

    Looks good...always good to lose weight, particularly at the corners

    Looks pretty good, now all you have to do is hit that grey cladding with some mothers back to black and it will match the black on those new rims!

    Damn, reminds me.... I wanted to get my Enkei's done before this winter. Wanted the spokes powdercoated a bronze/gold, leaving the outer lip silver. ala-Gram Lights style. Ah well, looks like I am down for the wait again.

    Nice looking wheel Az. Kinda like a shuriken/glaive thing going on in there, heh.

    These are nice ones. I wanted to get those for my Ironman.
    Where did you get them from if not a secret?

    Hi, no secret but I buy all my stuff wholesale thru my
    shop. These came from a Cepek wheel distributer outta Phx.
    If you need a set, lmk and Ill see what I can do for you.

    I almost always suggest getting tires locally for a few
    reasons.
    Generally after shipping cost, youll spend about the same
    money.
    If you have any warranty or balancing issues, you can take
    care of it locally, faster, easier and cheaper.
    Plus you get to support your local economy (and shops) which
    is always nice.

    That said, my tires I actually picked up used off a friends Suv
    pretty cheap and great shape and Michelins was a plus.

    But I can get you the rims for about $190 each plus shipping
    caps included.

    cladding done

    finally got around to cleaning up my cladding...
    got a feeling Ill be doing it at least once every few months
    depending on how often I wash it.



    but it came out pretty decent for 100k miles on it.
