well my stock tibby rims are fuxurd from curbs, and i cant find a replacement locally. so the past two winters ive driven the tib on the 17's. well i was at a friends house, and he had a set of american racing 15's that were a dual 4 lug.... i asked what size they were, he knew one was a 4x100, but didnt know the other. so i grabbed a piece of paper, held it to the underside of my spare tire, and traced the mounting holes. then held it up to the rims, and what do u know, same size!!!!!!

well even though i thought they were kinda fugly, i gave him 100 bux for them. well i decided with a bit of paint, they might not be so bad, so 30 minutes and 95 cents in paint, heres the outcome.

BEFORE!







~AND AFTER~





and leaning against the car just to get an idea.





not really sure how there gonna look yet, but ill know once i finish painting the rest, and mount some new tires on them. even if they look like crap, i really dont care, there winter rims, and will be alot nicer then my heavy ass 17's with ice skates for tires.....

I think I'll do the same think too. I love the random gaskets and hoses lying on your garage floor.
