Project <I need a project like everyone else!>

Hmm, now it is decision time, I found a deal on some 1999 style 17" ws6 wheels and tires, I need the tires, but I'm not sure if I want to go with this style wheel, or keep my current speedlines...ugh, tough choice! I had always loved the look of the 1999 style, but as I have owned the speedlines they have really grown on me I'm planning on buying them either way tomorrow, then I'll have to decide which set to keep and install the tires on.

The wheels I'm considering are attached. What do you all think? Correct style ws6 wheels for my car, or the speedlines?

Sorry can't help ya.. I like both.. I may be interested in the Speedlines.. PM me a price and rim size if you decide to sell..

They are 17 inch, wrapped in goodyear f1's 275s with tread left for cruising, but not much else, I think there were a couple marks on one or two of the wheels, nothing anyone except me (or the person looking closely) would notice. I need to see what they are worth before setting a price (I was thinking just trying ebay), but otherwise feel free to PM an offer with what you are looking to spend and maybe we can make a deal. It would be nice not to hassle with shipping these.

This is all considering if the wheels pan out tomorrow, hopefully the seller is able to meet with me and has wheels in the same shape as he claimed.

I have no idea on what they go for.. PM me a price, when you decide, and we can go from there..

Edit: if the tires are about shot, we can do rims only..

Got the new wheels . THe outside looked great, the inside looked like they had never been cleaned! Looks like I have some fun ahead of me!

[Darren]

I vote to put the new ones on the car! I think it would look much better!

What a pretty bird

New wheels are polished up, now I just need the snow bank delete mod from in front of our polebarn so I can get the car up on a lift in the shop

Snow bank delete mod... lol

[Derek]

Snow bank delete mod is complete! I also pulled the TA out from its nap and threw on the new wheels. Out with the old and in with the new!! These pictures don't do the wheels any justice at all, but you can be sure that when the weather warms up I'll have her all shined up with the new wheels and corsa exhaust and I will whore it out.

As I was doing this swap I came across a superrrr easy idea to make my calipers look great! We have an air powered rotary tool in the shop with a grinder pad on the end of it, I spent about 2 minutes on a caliper and they came out nice and shiny to match the wheels . I will be doing this all the way around in the spring when I get the car up for some underbody detailing.

Ok ok.. here are the pics! These were taken from my droid, so they aren't the best. The first few are for those who say my car is never out in the weather! It is with the new wheels, after that I have a few pics of the wheels installed, one of the new wheels before cleaning, and one of the new wheel on the front and old on the back.

Unless you like mudding.

Looks good, Derek! I enjoyed reading your post - kinda fun reading the excitement about having the car out. Let's see them calipers!

Looks 1000 times better with those ws6 wheels on it! Glad you changed your mind about the old ones.
