Re: Crosslace rims on my car....finally!

i had regular formula rims, but they were pitted and clearcoat was pealing, this was a much needed change.

How much did you pay for the crosslace? I like the formula wheels on your car better. If your sticking with the crosslace, paint the lugs black as well, it would look much better that way.

Re: Crosslace rims on my car....finally!

Nice! They look great on there, But I do agree, get some black Lug Nuts, or the factory Lug nuts with the Black covers.

Those are the best looking 3rd Gen wheels Made

Re: Crosslace rims on my car....finally!

i was originally thinking of the black lugs but i think these make the wheels pop a little more. i paid 500 for them with the tires, theyre in decent tread too.

The wheels look good. The car looks nice and sleek. I agree with everyone else, I'd go with the black lug nut covers.

yeah they make sticky wights for that. not as accurate as the weights on the outside lip but its worth it to keep the finish from peeling, coroding, etc. and it just looks better imo. it shouldnt cost any extra than a regular balance at a shop. just ask for stickey weights on the inside.

Re: Crosslace rims on my car....finally!

Or you can just have them Static balanced, where they put the normal weights on the inside only.

I don't like the stick on weights myself, have them on my 17's............

Re: Crosslace rims on my car....finally!

No No Your wheels look fine on your car, I was just stating a fact on the Static balancing for anyone else who didn't want to use the sticky weights.

Sorry

Re: Crosslace rims on my car....finally!

yeah sorry to go so far off topic...i dont mind the weights at all on the outside lip. it will jst corode eventually is all. but yeah very nice car! rims look nice a non GFX firebird. i also agree with needing black lugs or the plastic covers. or u just need a few more crome accents on her.

I've been waiting for this kind of dumb a55 response from you.

Piss off.



The wheels look GREAT on the car. I loved my crosslace wheels when I had them.

Re: Crosslace rims on my car....finally!

you people dont even know me. you said you didnt care about the wheel weights on the lip, yet you care enough to "show them off" here in this thread. i guess ur right i could have left out the "loser" comment, but i still think its ignorant to show off you new wheels, like they are special, but then proclaim you dont care about the weights on the lip. its just a pet peeve of mine when i see wheel weights on the lip of a stylish wheel

i rarely have something negative to say, i dont know where you got that from

i dont know why so many people on these boards pussyfoot around. i still stand behind half of what i said

That is not my experience with you. Your parents obviously missed teaching you the "If you have nothing good to say, don't say it" lesson.

Why can't you just say, "I'm sorry. I was out of line and regret it."

i wasnt trying to show off my wheels, i was just making a thread showing pictures look at what people do on this board all the time? mostly every thread you post on you make a negative comment by the way. i know they aren't special but they are the first real major update ive done to this car.

wow, i'd like to see all these "negative comments" ive made. I post my opinion; if i like something i will say so. If i dont like something i will say so also. I would do the same in person. Ive certainly made a lot more positive comments than negative comments on this board.

ive always complimented your car Cadillac, so i dont understand your hate.

yeah but here is the problem, the thread didn't ask you for your opinion. all you had to say was like cool or something or....if you didn't like it not even respond.

Sorry for the hate... not intended that way but I am sure if we took some time to examine your praise on this board, I'm afraid we would see that it is hard to come by. There's always this little problem with everyone's car (even my PERFECT example. tee hee).

Would it be wrong to say you are not a positive person?

That's all I got.



So check out what my silly self did with some GTA wheels:
