I thought pep boys was a tire shop... :/ I'm confused.

Theyre an auto parts store that happens to do work on cars. Im talking Discount Tire, Tire Discounters, Goodyear service center type places.

You can't see the scrapes/scratches/chips until you get about 3 feet from them.

Yes, I know the center cap is black. It's also an Acura center cap. It is raining right now and I wanted to protect my axle bolts but UPS hasn't delivered my Honda center caps yet.

Looks great.

Tire shop, like someone who only deals with tires, or atleast its their main business. The guy who I get my tires from only does tires. When I got my rims I asked him if he can mount them without any damage, no damage or scratches.

Washed, polished, and waxed the car today. Looks good with the new wheels. They're awesome looking until you get to about 5 feet.

I think I have seen this around somewhere...

Are you around Abingdon?

Heh, cool, thanks. I was racing to work after a long night, lol. Which direction were you heading? Wait, you have that black WRX with a radar detector? I think we played traffic-tag.

GSRCRXsi · 05-20-2011, 06:43 AM

Nah I had a silver wrx with gold wheels. I saw you look over. You were flying lol

Edit, I was going north. I was on my way home from work.

Lol, nice. I remember that car.

Front, Front Quarter and Side views look good to ok, but whoever designed the back of the car needs to be bludgeoned.

92stoccord · 05-20-2011, 01:29 PM

I think it looks pretty damn good. Get some sexy center caps on there.

I've got some ridgeline center caps for it, I just have to find time to paint them. Who knows, maybe even lay some CF and resin over top.

92stoccord · 05-21-2011, 02:34 AM

I disagree. I think either blanks or just H's would look fine. Same color.

awptickes · 05-21-2011, 05:12 PM

Pics attached. I need to get some spacers soon. Just wiped the two weeks worth of brake dust off.

Battle Pope · 05-21-2011, 05:32 PM

Unfortunate rear wheel offset

awptickes · 05-21-2011, 05:33 PM

With a 20mm spacer it'll look much much better. They're already on the way.

Jeef · 05-21-2011, 06:22 PM

Rims look good, the guys who put the tires on suck.
