went in the garage and dug out the ATS rims and got some brand new rubber on all 4

Image

put them on the lude and in silver they looked NASTY :shock:

Image

so in the garage went Aaron and me and about 12 hours later :lol: and a lot of sanding and spraying ;)
first was the sanding!!!

Image

stage one first coat

Image

stage 2 second coat

Image

third coat and wet laqueur

Image

final key and laqueur

Image

and stuff them on the lude :D not sure if they suit my lude but i wish i had gone 16"s years ago :oops:
the drive is amazing, more speed, lighter steering and the feedback to wheel is great. feels like a whole new car :P

good or not?

Preferred them in silver, but hey... Much better than the old rims ;-)

Also that pic of them against your car reminds me of the ME edition of the lude ;-)...

very nice :) after the first coat they look gunmetal grey, think they would have looked awesome that colour :)

yeah they dont pop - but they do look mean and stealthy ;)

the lemon wont be pleased :lol:
think he thought he had found some uber rare rims and then you show up with a set - i think you guys should swap sets as the colours might be better that way :? :lol:

Looking good bud! Mine are going to have to go darker, I'm thinking gunmetal for mine.

16" wheels make for such a good drive don't they? :D
