Bought Some Rims

[bnight04]

Tell me what you think. Going on my 2000 black 2dr ho

[firstson]

I think that'll look hot...black on black always looks good :thumb:

[rlf_unique]

that is going to look amazing, post pics asap

[bnight04]

thanks, yeah I think it will look really good. I will post up pics as soon as i can. Takes up to 6 days for shipping and then I have to get the tires put on so.... as soon as I can.

[derek_ski99]

cool cool...nice to see another alero going black on black

what size?

[jonez]

Those are nice , but still like all chrome on black.

[alerocar01]

i like them

[bnight04]

18" It has only been a couple of hours since I bought them and I cant wait anylonger...

[pawzbear]

hott... can never go wrong with a chrome lip, i say

[Baca05]

Those are on fire...Black N Black :thumb:

[SweetNLow]

rivots suck......... as in they make cleaning the rim sucessfully a pain in the ass

[2fst4u]

they seem so bulky to me. and probably pretty heavy. but, to each his own. good luck bud, and post up pics

[steve-o]

[Menace]

Put them on it takes like 30 minutes :-p

damn 2fst...do you ever like anything people do? all i ever read from you is trashing on people's mods about how you dont like it but to each his own

if you dont like it just dont say anything. guy just spent a grand on rims and your telling him you dont like them

and furthermore...why dont you get that kit on and painted and buy some rims before you start spoutin off...makes you look a lot less credible when you just have a photoshopped picture of your car

and ps- i dont like black rims on white cars..but i guess to each his own as you would say

Yeah probably are heavy but who cares? its not like im trying to race our slow cars. Just tryin to make it look nice to cruise.

The only problem I think i will have is that they usually drop them off in the morning sometime. I am gone at work until about 430 every day. I wonder if I can call them and ask them to deliver it later.

[PrImEtImE]

them rims are going to look pimp on your black alero. can't wait to see some pics! :thumb:

[Pimpalero03]

i dunno, little flashy looking. i like simple 5 spoke. but cant give true oppinion till i see a pic on the car

[Wild Country]

I don't like the rims by themselves. I also think black on black is hot so I'm gonna wait til you post pics then I'll set my opinion in stone.

Well, it would be pretty pointless if the only posts anyone got were the ones that were complements. bnight did ask for our opinion and even if its negative feedback I'm sure he's big enough to take it in stride. And 2fst4u isn't the only person on this thread to post their dislike so it seems unfair to single him out

the owner and moderators of this fine website prohibite negative comments of any kind directed towards someones car for fear of them crying like newborns and not returning to this bombass website!

[BlackJack]

hahaha...classic!

and about the rims....I think they'll look good. We'll just have to wait and see. I do agree about rivets being a pain in the ass for maintenance, but they look nice.

[derek_ski99]

im sorry he just stuck out to me because he has seemingly been very negative lately.

My point was not that there should be no negative opinions, its that this guy just bought rims. he spent an awful lot of money on them and then you trash them. i could see if it were a mod he could correct or fix..like if something he painted didnt come out that good it could be fixed...but that isnt the case here.

no your right derek....... i think he is abit negative to. its jsut that the mods have done such a fantasitic job of making this such an friendly and wonderful place....... even if your a TAD negative u come across as a dick.

ive had to learn to bit my tounge over the years and either be nice or jsut dont say junk at all and i think ive come along way.

some people have no problem not necessarliy being "mean" but having dislike for something someone is doing to there car. but if someone says something negative toward them they get there panties in a bunch.

[b-spot]

I saw the rims, and I posted nothing (until now). See, I'm learning :)

[derek_ski99]

...exactly

and your are absolutely right..you have come a long way. you used to be a real jackass at times (although it was quite comical most of the time) haha

[johny_boy32]

holy sh*t for off topic...thanks guys...lol.

Back to the wheels, I personally don't like them either but they might look a lot better on the car. Be sure to post pictures when you get them on.

Like mama always said "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all" :P and who knows, maybe I'll like them once I see them on the car

[Wild Country]

Can someone chop them onto his car?

[violentrapture]

I think they might look pretty good - have to wait and see once they get on there though... congrats though on getting them and here's to hoping you like them!

Exactly, --bnight, if you like your new rims (which I'm guessing you do since you bought them) who cares what poop heads like me have to say about them. Customizing cars is all about the car owner's taste. So, more power to ya!

[bnight04]

Okay I want to know one question, Where are my DAMN RIMS!!!

[derek_ski99]

i have them..im sorry. i thought it'd be funny to buy them off the ups man and hold them hostage. lets say 2000 and they are yours tomorrow

[bnight04]

NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooo

*gasp*

ooooooo

[bnight04]

I hate when I buy rims and then see great deals on other wheels...

[nate]

Yeah, plus you must feel bad that you bought off one of the many wheel sellers on ebay who like to royally screw people on their shipping charges. I've bought 2 sets of rims off of ebay this year and a few guys totally lost my business because of their shipping prices. I even looked at the same rims in chrome from that seller but couldn't bring myself to pay $249 for shipping when it actually costs less than half of that. Even in the states there's no way he should be charging you $200, he's freaking ripping you off.

/rant over

[bnight04]

yeah the shipping was alot but the rims were inexpensive so I guess it made up for them. Plus as of right now I didnt pay jack poop for them. I have all my money and my rims! so I basically got my rims for free....

I got them today! I am going to wash my car I will post up pics later today.... I love em

[bnight04]

Well here is before I waxed my car. Tell my what you think.

Now I just have to lower it, tint the tails, new stainless steel tips, and a 12"sub....

Painting the calipers red today and trying to put alero down the side in black. Lets see how well this turns out.

.

[derek_ski99]

looks good...congrats on the purchase. Now just watch those curbs!

[ppgnut]

hey how is the window tint holding up for ya???
nice rims btw

[2fst4u]

they look a lot better on the car. congrats.

[bnight04]

tint is holdin up pretty good. I just want to tint the sides a little more. and get that window banner strip.

[rlf_unique]

looks even hotter when they on the car

[SNOWFLAKE]

Those are some sweet rims. They will look really good on your car. I'm going to order some balck rims with a chrom lip and they have a little chrome strips down the black. They look really good. Well hope everythng goes well

[j_smith]

Love the rims. Great choice for your color car.

[alerocar01]

they look good.

[bnight04]

Gotta love days off of work..

Thanks, I like them alot. It changed the look of my car. I just finished painting the back calipers today, I will post pics when I get the digi back. Now I just need to do a couple more things..

[violentrapture]

Wow - very nicely done... still not a gigantic fan of the rivets, but overall it's a very nice look. Once lowered it's all going to flow really well!
