I purchased a set of rims and tires today off a guy and got them for a decent deal. Tires are almost new and the wheels are in great shape besides one of them has some of its paint that has sort of faded away like clear coat on a car, i would not say that it is chipped though.

The wheels are akita a4 18's and they looked pretty decent in the front but the rear needs a spacer for sure.

Now online it says they are hyper silver so i was wondering if somone had an idea what to do as far as touching up the one wheel goes.

Thanks yall here is a pic of me test fitting one on.

 

damn that's one hell of a wheel gap there buddy!! LOL naw seriously i like em though. make sure you get us some good final pics. Should look real nice on a silver car too but I'm partial because we have the same color car . i need something other than stock myself ASAP and am not sure if i wanna go any bigger than 18s. Mainly because of replacement rubber cost and it is my DD car by the way. Can't wait for the final pics.. I will do some research into your question about touch up paint and get back to you if i find anything out.

 

whats the specs on them???they look like my axis milanos!

 

nice wheels i wanna see them when your car is grounded

 

Not bad

 

Nice good to get deals

 

If the silver is still on the rim you wetsand with a high grit to get the surface smooth then you could just spray clear coat on it.

 

Great choice of rims! I bet they look great in person.

Def post some pics when you have them on and the car off the jack.

 

here is a little photoshoot i did today, boy lowering the car all on my own was fun, especially without any power tools and michigan rusted suspension components.

UGLY STOCK WHEELS, I HATE THESE SO MUCH



NOW WITH THE WHEELS ON WITHOUT THE DROP








HERE IT IS AFTER THE EIBACH PRO KIT





The back sticks in alot and the tires are only 225/40/18, i was thinking of getting some 245's for the read and a 1" hub centric wheels spacer.

 

They remind me of Racing Hart C5 or Volks from back in the day. 5 spokes are classic on the GS, just drop her!

 

lol it is dropped, i just put the eibach pro kit on it today.

 

How many finger gaps you got? It looks higher than when I had my L-tuned/Eibach springs

 

i dunno i didnt think of measuring it like that, the tires are nankang ns2's and they say that theyre 225/40/18 but they look more like 35s because these cheap tire companies like to use less rubber and claim that its a 40 tall when its not

 

looks good!

 

thanks man, i just cant stand how the rear tuck in so much i think i might throw a 1 inch spacer back there or get rid of em
