Default WTB 1st gen parts NEEDED...read plz

you mean inside the gap of the spolks of a chrome RT5? or RT5 in general. where's the dirt? was this summer driving only, i assume... Did he not scrub it for a few months? I have white motegi rims running all year round and with rim cleaner and rubbing, everything can possibly come off on the outside. But on the inner well some dirt won't come off. Coz you can't possibly have time to remove your rims every few months to clean them...

18's??

Are you nuts?

CHROME???

Are you NUTS???

Doode, I hope you aren't going for performance anymore Mourning, you won't get it with those.

Your ride will be exactly SHIT, and your wheels will get damaged quickly. They will be VERY heavy. Prolly about 2 times as heavy as stock.

Ugh.

Jeepers Redz, going from 17" to 18" on a 3rd Gen is not that big of a deal, and it will look nice. They do look a little heavy, and motegi's aren't known for being too light to begin with... I'd say go with it, they look good.

Who said anything about a 3rd Gen?

I'd get some silver of the same model, if they are decently light.

Or look at some Konigs or something that look similar, light light light...

LOL

I completely missed that.

Well Mourning, if she drives decent and you aren't worried about damage, get them. Chrome still = ugh for me.

hey anyone thats willing to do something that takes any little bit of speed or handling from a GK is all good w/ me (this is RD after all ;-))

seriously tho mourning, they do look nice. But not many ppl here like chrome too much, personally i'd go w/ a darker color (easier to clean, or more accurately, hides more dirt)

is the inside of those wheels actually chrome???? looks silver to me. plating will not last near as long as dipped chrome.
