    I must thank "Angel Flight Pilot" for helping me (instructions and all) in this project.
    I think the car looks awesome now, was worth the work involved.
    Here's a picture of how it looked with the wheel rings off, which I thought looked better than with the wheel rings on.

    With the painted rim cover, it doesn't look like 15" anymore. It looks like 16" with lower profile tires. I wonder how it will look in motion.

    I was wondering that myself how it would look in motion.....I wonder how I see that myself while driving the car? :blink: since no one else is allowed to drive it. Oh well....I guess I will never know.

    That is what I thought, but....I haven't figured out how to do that, these pics were taken with a camera phone, then posted to photobucket, and then into a folder...and this is the size that I got. Hey, this is the best I could do with my limited knowledge... any help would be appreciated.
