Thanks to 89Mirageman for doing such a kickass job. I would highly recommend his work if anyone else is interested.

Now I need to get my car painted so it'll be worthy of such good-looking wheels.

Wow, that looks fantastic. I love the red Mitsu emblem. I was planning to do the same thing with a set of GVR4 wheels, but I went a different route.

Those on the fireplace mantel? Haha!

I love those wheels, best wheels hands down for the Colt. Nothing else comes close.

I worked my butt off on those, wet sanding and polishing sucks :P . I'm just glad DHL didn't ship them to Mars or back over them.

I am glad that you are happy with them man. I remember telling my wife while we were packing them up "These sure would look good on my Summit wagon".

I would disagree with that. For factory wheels; they are good, but they're still only a 15x6 and they're fairly heavy. For what it's worth, I think the best looking wheels for a CSM are some nice 3-piece BBS mesh wheels.

^^They all look great, especially when people have them powdercoated to match their paint. I think this looks pretty fantastic as well though:

I actually prefer the GGSX wheels for a factory car.

Those do look fantastic though! I love the flat black. If I were to go with a non-factory wheel it would definitely be a Royal White Rota Track R.

I know I've seen people do that, I just can't remember who or find any examples.

Yeah, but your pics are better!!!!! I have those pics somewhere, I just cant find them.

FWIW worth, I pm'd the owner of that car a while back asking about those wheels, and if I remember correctly, he got them offa the net, and they were originally on an old school [80's] saab.

Pie wheels are in. I'd have to say I'd take the wagon wheels over the 92 wheels.

BTW, awesome job 89Mirageman.

I want that car so bad!

Those GVR4 rims look great! I wouldn't mind doing that to mine, but I'm using them as winter beater rims.
