You will probably have double the cost in the repair..just buy new or go w/the bullets...they look awesome on your car. |

You can fix curb rash. I have done repairs before on wheels that had a chunk taken out of the lip. Pretty straight forward with body filler, and then repaint. With a chrome wheel it would be very labor intensive. The area would have to be built back up with most likely aluminum and then reshaped most likely by hand, and then re-chromed. Big project, unless the are one of a kind wheels. Probably a waste of time and money unless you don't mind and can do it yourself. |

He has 17" on his car factory...18"s will look fine...19's pushing it. 20's are too big being where you live and the odds of messing them up on a daily driver. 20's justt scream out....'hey, look at me!' |

You can run. An 18x8 1/2 with a 38mm back spacing and fit with no problems people make 20s fit but to b me its. Too big I also don't want to run a spacer 18s came factory on the car as well. After tinting the windows the wheels look to small so I figure another inch would fill the wheel wel in nice |

I'm n honestly tired of my rims so that plays a part in wanting to change them and after seeing thoese wheels i love them/want b them...i know I can drop the carb I'd just rather that be the second step if need be. Dave nothings going on the b pilliar Inlays are stickers that co in the bumper cut outs and over emblems the company is reflective concepts |
