Ants VP Calais 5L new toy

[wrx884]

Got another lil pressie the other day might see if i can get it fitted somtime next week and while they r at it get the trans serviced and finally put the final word if this car has a shift kit or not i dont think it has tho.



OOOoooo and got the new rims fitted 2day absolutly wrapped with them no scraps or nething they fitted perfect and omg cant believe how much lighter these rims r compared 2 the other chrome **** i had on they felt like lime stone bricks compared 2 them hahaha.





Now 2 chuck these other rims in the bin how much would sims metal or the likes take them 4?

[savage1987]

Sure, don't chuck them out! Ebay them, or put them on parts for sale list, or give them to me lol

Are they actually any good? 17" chrome right? Scratched?

[wrx884]

Well i would but i dont rekon id get much 4 them they havent been looked after at all they r scratch got some gutter rash and r corroding inside the lip. Ive had 1 flat coz of these rims already but thats normal 4 all chrome rims 2 do this u run the risk of gettin flats is alot higher ay thats the main reason i wanted 2 **** these off quickly with the new tyres on.

They r 18"x 8 envi's oh and i wouldnt say these spin up perfectly straight there is some slight movement in 2 of the rims but can b rectified with a balance but in the long run u'll get vibrations from the slight un even tyre wear.

lol I don't need them for either of my cars but was just curious

I know what you mean about chrome and pressure loss though, the bead doesn't stick properly sometimes and air slowly leaks through... Shadow chrome 19s

Its not the beading that dont stick its the chrome that starts 2 either peel or corrode on the inner lip inside the rim thats caused usually 9/10 from ppl or servos not bleeding there compressor tanks enough so they allow moisture into ur rims.

If u do have problems with the beading not sticking tho put some bead sealer on the tyre b4 they get put on the rims. All tyre shops should do this regardless on chrome rims if they dont i wouldnt recommend goin 2 those places at all.

[savage1987]

Yeah my new tyres are mounted up fine, haven't had any dramas there.. the tyres that came with the rims were the problem set
