"Please 8thcivic...chop my ride!!"

OHSiGuy · 06-09-2006, 03:11 PM

Hey, I thought "Pimp My Ride" was one of the best shows on TV...seriously!

Okay, I've tried to do this with the extremely limited "photo editing" software on my work laptop...and it ain't workin'. Plus, I'm pretty technically-challenged anyway.

If anyone can drop these NEX-O's onto my GG Si, I would be extremely thankful. I've been dying to see how they'll look. Thanks!

I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else. Take a side profile picture of your car and find a picture of the rims from a side profile and I'll be glad to chop em for ya.

OHSiGuy · 06-09-2006, 03:59 PM

Thx Larry...I was hoping to find a side profile shot of the gunmetal PX-5's since those are the ones I bought. Here are the Hyper Light's on an SRT-4.Will this work??

Thanks, Shemmy. That's the first time I've seen the PX-5's on my car!! Tirerack doesn't carry NEX-O's so I couldn't see them on their system. I appreciate it!

I should have the REAL ones on by Monday! I'll take some pics. I like the idea of having two sets of rims...one lighter and one darker...seems to change the "personality" of the car. Got tints put on today...going to pick it up in about 30 min.

Do you know how much each of those wheels weigh? I tried going to the manufactures web site but it doesn’t list it there.

How much are those gonna run you? I bought some gram lights 57 RC's that look pretty similar aside from the color.

According to the rep at wheelmax, they weigh 22 lbs. ea. so that's about a pound heavier than the stockers...I think???

The whole package from wheelmax, including wheels, Hankook 225/45/17 tires, install kit., was $840.00. It would have been $915 if I ordered them right on the site, but when I called and talked to a rep about a couple things, he said NOT to do that...that if I called him directly, he'd give me a better deal...and he did!

Bump! Did you get them on yet? Pics?
