    Finally got some new rims for my beater!

    Well traded my old 18's to a friend for these Paoline 14x7 Alloys (believe thats right, I'll recheck later). Also got a cone filter, and a Toyota intercooler. I'm a big Toyota fan! I think these rims really match the car well too. All comments welcome.


    Old rims in transfer. XD


    New pretty rims!

    word up that is one clean accord, and the new rims look pretty sweet, i personally am a fan of bigger rims but hey your rockin the 14's and rockin my world with them, makes for a smoother ride anyway. how much did you pay for them.

    i believe he's putting the intercooler on his toyota truck hence the toyota... i could be wrong. the 14's are decent if they were 15 or 16 i'd like em more but definitely better than those 18's.

    I like them I think they look good on your ride, but like the some of the members here on the forum use to say to me
    " you need to lower it "

    if you check his last thread he has created or his advatar or sig he has the pics with the 18s....i think 18s are too big since the tire is the size of a rubber band...so you have to be careful of potholes or else you will ding up the rim...anyways


    just got your PM ROODOO2...il reply later since im at school right now

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Re: Finally got some new rims for my beater!

    ^ Ripped off? Well first of all I didn't want the 18s. They weigh a million pounds a piece, had a lot of problems, and one of the tires was sliced. I wasn't about to pay 100 up for a new tire. Secondly 86 Honda Accord + 18 rims + stock brakes + stock rotors = death. I'm sorry but, I would definitely rather stop than hit someone. Third, one was bent, and it annoyed the piss outta me. Yes the rims were worth more than the ones I got in exchange. But I made a sacrifice. I wouldn't have traded like this to anyone but a friend and that's what I did. My friend needed the tires, and I just wanted some decent 14 or 15'' wheels. Plus if I ever needed help with anything, he would be there. Friendship doesn't have a price.

    Re: Finally got some new rims for my beater!

    Thanks for the comments all, and I would drop it...but I really don't have the money right now. It's just a daily driver anyway. Plus...I have a pretty bad shimmy and shake in the wheels and I think one of the tires has a knot or either my steering stabilizer is going out. I'm gonna fix that first. The wheels themselves are structurally fine though.
