Question, question, question

[astro355]

Is this for astro/safaris only or would someone be kind enough to do other vehicles?

I am more just a parts changer but I could help. dude, your in Cleveland as well as me

Shoot, I think you've earned your stripes around here, I've not to bad at it, post your pics.

Here's my last chop and I do mean chop and sectioned.

[astro355]

Ok, thanks. It will have to wait til tomorrow though. I need another pic of my car at the right angle. But I like to see these wheels on it.

Hi Jim, nice to see you back here.
If you just want to try new rims, click here: New rims

[astro355]

Thanks Munken! Thats a great site. Wish it had those ARE Santa Cruzs on there. That's the first one I seen with a Reatta on it. Starting to make me rethink which wheels look better on Christine. Hmm, a couple more thoughts.

[astro355]

The sun finally came up. Here's some pics of my car. I have several different angles to work with. And on more wheel. I'm starting to think that a five spoke may have too much open space. Thanks in advance.

[astro355]

Anyone, please. If I have to rank them, I'd like to see the Haze, Legend and Lazer.

[Jasen]

I like the VOXX

[Jasen]

Need a different angle of the Haze, or the car shot more from the back, the angles of the two are opposite right now and won't work.

I wish I was good enough at photoshop to make it work!

I actually use Gimp, it's free. This is actually really easy. Opened the Buick up in one window, then the wheel in another, then zoom in on the wheel and then use the lasso tool selecting at the points you want, then copy, bring the Buick window back up and paste, use the move tool to get the wheel to where you want it, then use the scale tool to size and tweak it to fit.

On the Legend wheels I had to use he lasso tool between the spokes and the paint bucket to fill them in black, then copy paste.

Nice Jasen. That last one is a keeper. Is there a way to rotate the Haze pic 180*?

[Bread Van]

So the Reatta caught my attention and I poked in on this forum. Personally I would move away from the chromed rims on that car and go with something silver painted. That car screams for some BBS wheels but unless you find something used they would be a bank breaker.

How about something like this (this first is my favorite but a little $$)

OR (I think these would look amazing on that car...especially with a tint!!)

Thanks for that input. Price isn't so much of a concern right now. Those lazers are about $300 a wheel. The hard part is finding wheels that have a 5x115 bolt pattern and the right offset.

I am kind of leaning away from the chrome wheel though. Just waiting to see that Haze and maybe the Santa Cruz.

Remember to check for replacement center caps availability before you buy the new wheels. Sometimes the center caps are hard to find...

But then, I'm sure you have already thought of that.

I really like the Buick, one of my all time wants.

Good luck with your new wheels.

Let me play with the Haze the the other this weekend. I'm sure there is a way to flip them, I just haven'y figured it out yet.

[astro355]

Jasen, I rotated the pic by 180, should work.

Sometimes one is oblivious to the obvious
