Just picked up another set of rims, what now?

HellBilly211239 · May 25, 2009

So I started paying attention to the sound of my wheel bearings starting to make unhappy grinding noises. So I went out and bought another set of rims. I now have 3 sets of rims. Keep in mind that they need tires, adapters , and refinishing, but hey, they were really cheep and I like them.
Im thinking of doing a gun metal, or chrome look. Some thing like that. Does any one know were I can get some wheel work done in the PNW? Or were I can get cheep 4x100 to 4x108 adapters?
What sort of finish do you think would look good on them, and on my car. (look at my sig to see the car as it sits now)

your wheel bearings are making noise so yo go out and buy new wheels?

Maybe not so much poke this time. I hope you plan on replacing your bearings if they're making noise.

You should definitely fix your wheel bearings before buying another set of wheels. Then I would reduce your pokage some. Wheel bearings aren't particularly great fans of poke from a geometry standpoint.

37 or 42 depending which ones they are.

So in that case just drilling the hubs may not be the end of it.
Adapters would probably be more appropriate in this case, depending on the width of the wheels.
