Rules nothing... I shouldn't have to edit his tags for him, he's a big boy.

...apparently I do though, since he hasn't figured it out yet. :roll:

My old, old winter rims were 6 spoke 16" Primax cheapies that I can't find a pic of either. Now they are the wife's winter rims.

Look at those puny exhaust tips!

sybir 2006-01-10 11:24 PM

99 RS wheels (first set, later PC'd black and put on our racecar)
http://neurosybir.net/sybir/DCP_1575.JPG

Gram Lights (traded for the P1's)
http://neurosybir.net/sybir/DCP_1582.JPG

WRX 16's (winter wheels, sold)
http://neurosybir.net/sybir/PB030168.JPG

Second set of 99's (winter wheels, lived a short life on our shop drift car, and they're back on drift leg v2.0)
http://neurosybir.net/sybir/DSCF0758.JPG

Rota Actions (still my favorites)
http://neurosybir.net/sybir/DSCF1251.JPG

01 RS wheels, rattlecanned black (very temporary, now on one of the shop Leg Turbos.)
http://neurosybir.net/sybir/DSCF0956.JPG

Prodrive P1's
http://neurosybir.net/sybir/DSCF1293.JPG

20% gloss black PC'd SDR's:
http://neurosybir.net/sybir/DSCF2116.JPG

Not pictured:
'01 RS wheels, sold to Nick, bought back, never made it onto my car before being put on a shop car (does that count twice?)

2 sets of white Rota Attacks, my total ricer wheels. Can't find pics. Both owned by Scott's with blue bugeyes with projectors, I sense a pattern ;)

Gunmetallic Torques, sold to Rich.

And, the 18x8 Superleggeras sitting in my garage right now :)

sybir 2006-01-10 11:31 PM

And, my ricy Camry (TRD POWAH!!!!!!!!11!!!!111) with two different sets of 15x6.5, ET40 Konigs. 205/50/15's, and I had to roll the rear fenders at stock height to keep from rubbing ;)

Villains - run off the road and bent two of 'em in half.....
http://neurosybir.net/sybir/DCP_0023.JPG

So I had to replace them with....
Reigns
http://neurosybir.net/sybir/DCP_0342.JPG


And the truck I still miss (this is after the bodyshop owner bought the salvage and rebuilt her with knockoff wheels in the same style)
http://neurosybir.net/sybir/DCP_0320.JPG

Originals were Enkei full 3 piece mags, one of them got folded back over the center in the accident, and my dad left it at the wheel repair shop becuase he got a new truck :(
Irreplaceable, will never find them again.

Kevin M 2006-01-11 12:53 AM

First wheels- (I was slow to catch the wheel whore disease, but it progressed quickly!)

Prodrive P1s



Then Gram Light 57Cs

[no pics- Sybir, help a brother out! Or I can just tell everyone to look at the Gram Lights in your post, and Nick's, and Mike's if he makes one. :p]

flat black stockers (with worst track tire evar) They count because it was my second set. nKoan got the originals I think (or maybe vice versa. either way.)

http://www.seccs.org/forums/attachme...achmentid=1438


gold 1998 RS wheels

http://www.seccs.org/forums/attachme...achmentid=3043

white Rota Attacks courtesy sperry. If loving white wheels on a dark blue car is wrong, I don't wanna be right!

http://www.seccs.org/forums/attachme...achmentid=2138

best wheel I will ever own; Volk CE28Ns

http://www.seccs.org/forums/attachme...achmentid=2169

And dammit, I guess I better get crackin' on Miata wheels. Hell, they're practically half price compared my RS wheels. :lol:

Nice! color?

sybir 2006-01-11 11:20 AM

They're currently "Dark Silver" (I think that's the official OZ color)

Some of the spokes are a bit corroded, and there's a tiny kerb mark I didn't notice before, so I'm gonna mount them up, see if I really dig 'em, and if I do, get them PC'd a darker color, more like the P1 Anthracite. I don't want to lose the fine detail on the rim, and I'm already hocking a set of rims I just had PC'd, so I want to wait before I throw more money at these ;)

Should look pretty pimp, we'll see how it works with 18x8's ;)

Dean 2006-01-11 12:34 PM

Damn... I had Aaron by a set and a half until he whipped out the Camry, and truck.

I had 5 or 6 sets for my two Lancias, and two for the Audi 5000, 2 for my Volvo, but they were all stockers off of something, like some of his, and therefore ineligible IMHO. I bow to his whoredom.

I think I'm still winning the current ownership race though. Eric might be a contender. Where is he?

Well, after cleaning up the curbage from the previous owner of the Grams, I had them Powdercoated. I went with a dark bronze, they should look pretty cool on the car .

sybir 2006-01-11 01:21 PM

Very nice, man. I'm actually thinking about a color like that for the Superleggeras, but may stick with anthracite. Still $35 apiece?

MattR 2006-01-11 01:36 PM

Well, they were $65 now, because the sand blasting took so much effort, I guess Rays uses really strong paint/ PC when they are made. SO I got hosed. Id say the only way to get the $35 price is to take in a plain wheel, like a stock BBS or RPF-1. Otherwise, they stick it in ya for Sandblasting.

sperry 2006-01-11 01:50 PM

Actually, I know a guy that was selling a media blaster like 6 months ago... I wonder if he'd still got it. Then we could blast the wheels ourselves and bring 'em in for PC w/o any prep work required.

MattR 2006-01-11 04:33 PM

That would be sick, then they'd go for like $20 a wheel!

I emailed my friend at work about his media blasting booth... something tells me it's not going to be powerful enough for wheels since it's designed for cleaning engine parts, but we'll see what he has to say.
