Picked up some new rims

[S8track16]

I picked these up today, 4 American Racing Casino 17s for $160, they were on an Olds Aurora. They are a bit wider than my current wheels which I was trying to get.

Here's some pics: I sanded down the chrome lip because it was peeling, I'll be painting it ruby red. First pic is a before and after:

I couldn't pass the deal up, now I just need some new summer tires.

[tw0123]

Was it a deal like i usually find? Haha what size tire are you going to run on them?

[S8track16]

I guess you could say that lol. Possibly 235/45/17

Painted the lip, the paint chipped off when I was removing the tape on one of them so I had to strip it down and prime, paint and clear again, but it was worth it.

Did you do the back side of the rim too or is it black?

Those look really good... need to put one on the car though lol

[S8track16]

I just painted the lip, not the back. Unfortunately I'll have to wait until April before I put these on.

Gives you plenty of time to find a deal on tires ;)
