How's it goin everyone? Just wanted to say whats up?! I'm over on the east coast, Merritt Island, FL to be exact. It's a little chilly outside but it's all good.

So the ride...

Very Stock Except for the wheels and intake you can't see

Please don't mind the pic, she's really dirty cause I took the pictures at my grandparents house after I drove it for about 500 miles.

BUT, I ran into a little bit of misfortune...

POTHOLES SUCK!!!

So now I'm riding on stock 14's with no hubcaps because one of the hubcaps fell off when I was driving so I took them all off...Lots of bad luck!

So now I'm looking for another rim like I have now or maybe someplace that can fix the bent one, but neither are looking too promising, plus I'm poor and that doesn't help matters too much.

Well, thats it! Just wanted to stop by and say Howdie!

*edit*

I totally forgot about the best part that I just installed on my car. I went outside and took a pic...


And while I was at it, I took a pic of what my car looks like now...Poor thing :(

Welcome Chris I moved this to the members ride forum pics go there not in the new members. Sorry about your bad luck! I had a wheel bend once and I got it fixed locally costed me about 50 bucks and it came out pretty good! Check in your area for places that repair boat propellers they should be able to fix the wheel!

Good Luck!

from what i can see it looks pretty good though. best of luck on getting that wheel fixed. :TU:

[Mugen_Stumpo]

[JdmRevelations]

Thanks guys!!

I went by the boat shop but every place I went to was either closed or too busy to help me.

Does anyone happen to know where I might be able to find another rim?

I got the first set from an old friend that put his eg sedan into a guardrail. I got the rims from him for 300 bucks then painted them. I've searched ebay but noone has them. :(

Thanks. I love the color matching too, I didn't think it was going to look good when I put them on but when I did, I fell in love!

any updates on this

[97civicex]

Yep, I found a place to fix the rim over in Tampa. They wanted 60 to straighten but since it was cracked they wanted 160 and said that it could have a shake in it after they fixed it so I said forget it. I'm about to order Rota GT3's with gunmetal center ;)

But for now...

No afraid not...I decided to go back to stock cause I drive 50miles to work one way 3 days a week plus school and the ride was killing me plus i was going through tires like crazy so unfortunatly nothing special
