Looking to get some new wheels(along with a small spoiler, some clear side lights, and maybe some cheap performance stuff) this winter for the Dodge, as it seems like I may be keeping it awhile(at least another year or two, maybe longer if I beef it up more), because I'm saving every cent this summer/fall/winter to get Mayhem a really nice paint job, and not a quickie, cheapo job like last time(sadly that means as we already started body work, Mayhem is going to be completely flat black till next spring, lol). Anyways, back to the subject... I'm only going to 16". Thought about 17", but then I'll be paying too much money for tires than I want to on this car. Here's a pic of the car, and here are some wheels I've found to fit on it that are in budget.

Silver.

But what happened to the wheels that you got for Mayhem? Did u ever get tires? Or did I miss the post?

Nope still haven't got tires yet. Was going to, to be ready for the shows, but since I'm not going to any this year, no hurry to get tires for the new wheels. And since my old wheels still haven't sold, don't really have the money at this second, either. So it'll wait some more, I guess. I'll probably post the pics of the wheels up here soon since it's going to be so long till she's done anyway.

Why not just save your money and spend it on Mayhem?

why? it is in no way taking money from mayhem. Mayhem isn't getting painted till next spring, and that's a fact. I won't have enough money to do it till winter, so I might as well wait for Spring so the fresh paint doesn't have to be subjected to ice/snow/salt.To get paint I have to save another 5 months(at least) to get a grand or so to add to the $700 I have now(I'm looking at probably $2000 for paint and that is getting a deal on what I want). The wheels for the Dodge cost a little over $300 w/shipping, and the car needs new tires before winter anyway. Also, that is the car I have to drive EVERYDAY. I'd like it to look good. And if I get a nicer set of wheels, when I get my next car(which is looking to be 2 years away), they'll bolt right up, and that car will look better so I won't have to do anything then. I'll already have them. I was thinking of the silver, that seemes to be the most liked, but I think I'm gonna get the gunmetal. I like the dark look, plus I'm looking to get an Avenger/Sunfire/Grand Am/Neon, and those wheels will bolt up with them.

yeah, I agree. Ryan said the white would look fine, too, but I say no way.

But... thats why they call it a beater. You beat the hell out of it. I dont see why you'd want to spend a cent on it unless absoulty necisasary. I wont drop a dime on the Astro van. Hell, i'm even putting off changing the oil.

 
Rep Power: 1121

but the astro is your mom's isn't it?

its not really a 'beater' car. Its the car that holds more than 2 people, and gets things done, and is daliy driven anywhere and everywhere, especially in the 6 months that Mayhem isn't/won't be. Its in great shape, and only has 78,000 miles on it. Besides that, its a fast little car that can be made even faster. Which Ryan wants to do.

She's driving the little red Mitsu Mirage. The Astro van... regretfully, is mine for now. I'm paying the insuarance and the upkeep so technically its mine.
