Default Got my new wheels

I just got my new wheels put on today.. I love them. I think they change the whole stance of the car.

The new wheels and tires look great lew ... and I agree, the stance on my car seemed to change after going from the stock 16's to the 18's.

Looks great! The rims and tires make the biggest difference in a car! BTW do you happen to know the offset of your wheels?

Wheels look great.

Ok on the door jamb strip thing. This is what I did, car sits in sun, then used a hairdryer, then worked fishing line between door jamb molding thing and door, SLOWLY working it back and forth, then SLOWLY peeled the door jamb molding thing off. Buff with wax and ta da!
