the rims im ordering for the end of this month..
most of you have your own opinions, but im sure these will stand out. esp with the rollbar im going to have made custom.
which vehicle are these rims for? the color looks very nice except the style isn't exactly my taste. not a fan of holes in rims.
:squint:

look at his sig
ITS...ITS...FOR A SUPRA WITH 6 LUGS!!
I likey Sin, the black powdercoat really adds some contrast to the white paint.
Thanks TS, i sure hope so.. by the time said and done, about 1500 bucks for install with 5 rims.
I think they'll look good also...maybe take a pic of your truck from the side and then copy the wheels on, just for a preview
oh hehe... i thought it was just an internet pic, but i'm not exactly a fan of modifying pickups. but those rims will look great on a truck. but not on a car.
so modifying a car is fine, but giving a truck clean asthetics is wrong? and you call yourself canadian WTF.
They look like heavy rims, remind me of the steelies of police cruisers. Should make your Ram look a lot more massive!

ok... first of all... don't target my nationality. i never said modifying a truck is wrong. alright?! i'm not a fan of modifying trucks... it's ok to do it... but not my taste ok? i don't even have a car right now... i don't even have a license. do whatever you want with your truck... you wanted comments? i gave you some comments... and it was not intending to offend you in any way. please understand that. i really don't want to start any fight or anything ok? thanks.
well, good, and your nationality is mine as well.
also, ricing a truck is putting a 12" lift on with 22" wheels, ugly as fuck.
anyways, i was thinking that since you live in winterpeg, that you'd know why we have trucks up here, 4x4 are the only vehicle that can get around in Canada, cars have a hard time in vancouver let alone up here.
what size are those bad boys gonna be?
20"? :D
alright... thank you for understanding me sinister. i don't really notice which types of cars go around in canada but i'm fine with your truck ^^
16" toyotawish. stock, but they'll stick out about 1 1/2" from the fenders.
good monkey.
16" only? I was kind of expecting 18 at least... :rolleyes:
i am not a fan of oversized rims. plus I bought the tires before the rims, and they do not need to be replaced yet. they're maybe 1500kms old at the most.
Quote from: Car Freak16" only? I was kind of expecting 18 at least... :rolleyes:
18" for your dad's car too...? :D I'll try photoshopping something on. Give me a day. :p I tried the Veyron's rims on my dad's car. Looks weird. :p
18"s? On the Grandis? nah.. I'm bugging him to get 17"s tho...
Heh heh heh. Here's what I did to my dad's...

Could you get a shot something like this of your dad's car in at least 800x600 resolution? I want to do the same thing... :D
chrome rims arent the coolest thing, chrome and black is fucking cool!
..yeah...get some PIAA's on that grandis!

rollin' like this, b*tches LOL!
- Rick.
LOL! Tinted taillamps... Heh heh heh. Whaddya think of this one? (That's where I got my sig BTW.)
(http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h11/wishchong/untitled.jpg)
the rims thread has now turned into a photoshopping cars with different rims... and paint... and tinted taillights... thread. lol
some thing tells me i should do something with my parent's civic. maybe some race version.
Harharhar.... Poison time. Is it the 2006 Civic FD? Make it a Type R. :D First to start would be 18" rims. Then a bodykit. :D:D:D
http://www.nfsaddons.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=317
what about burning it down and taking a photo? just because its a civic :)
oh thanks rick lol... it's the north american 2007 honda civic lx (mt). surprisingly powerful... since it is lighter than our old 01 odyssey ex. anyways... decided not to use photoshop or even use the civic at all. instead i used fireworks on the wish pic... here it is.

LOL. The number plate. :D
Quote from: monkey.wesleyit's the north american 2007 honda civic lx (mt). surprisingly powerful...
Mmmmm... The Civic FD. 140HP@6300RPM. To start, let's kill the FC by adding in 18" rims. Then... http://www.mugen-power.com/street/civic/index.html . :D
wow... you're seriously obsessed with the new civic type r and the mugen. lol someone's gotta model that soon. actually... if i can get blueprints... i'll make that my first project instead of the xlr.
that would be mean against us muscle car lovers, wesley...you model domestic, you stay with it....
... please? :/
- Rick.

Nah. I'll wait for the XLR to be done first. :)
Quote from: RiCkTthat would be mean against us muscle car lovers, wesley...you model domestic, you stay with it....

- Rick.
sry rick... didn't mean to offend you. i just find the shape of the car really difficult and the blueprints don't line up when i'm modelling the car. it's really tough, but i guess i won't give up! ^^ i'll try to do it all the way. alright?
Hmmn... Cadillacs are never easy, looking at the shape. :D Audi maybe? RS4? S6 Avant? :D:D:D
the XLR has an easy, boxy shape, wich is cool for a beginner.
- Rick.
it may seem like that to you... but i have no experience at all... but yes... it's pretty cool lol
thawing roads are sweet, other than the fact its wet. some of the streets have just enough powder snow to slide nicely., managed to throw a nice tail of snow over a 10ft bank.
lol Darren :) we lost the snow..its really hot here today :/
wesley, want pics of my XLR mesh?
- Rick.
Quote from: RiCkTwesley, want pics of my XLR mesh?
- Rick.
definitely, thx for some help rick... except one thing... what's a mesh exactly? lol (dumb question isn't it?)
Quote from: RiCkTlol Darren :) we lost the snow..its really hot here today :/
same here in winterpeg... more like winnipeg now. roads are nice and slick and lots of snow is gone but can't drive and only have the fwd civic so no powersliding for me.
lol.
a mesh? ok you need to learn alot :/
the word "mesh" discribles your model. see how its made out of a kind of triangle spiderweb?
there you go, thats a mesh :)
ok here we go...this is really old thoo, wesley..it was ment to be released before the original car came out, but i never finished it, so the sides are kinda flat and the overall mesh sucks...ive learned alot since then.
(http://rick.nd4spdworld.com/sdf.jpg)
- Rick.
wow... i need to do that?! *faint* wow... i really need to learn a lot more. and yes... the shape of that xlr doesn't look exactly like the shape the bp calls for... but that looks pretty smooth... almost cartoonist like clay animations ^^ so basically... when i'm modelling in zmodeler... i'm creating a mesh? btw... if you would rather discuss this in the xlr thread... that would be appreciated.
nfsaddons is kinda known for thread mixups, i dont think its too bad :p
its actually a so called "clay render", speaking of this :)
yes you are building up a mesh...well actually you give zmod points for where to place a mesh on, and on this it will place a surface.

Quote from: RiCkTthe XLR has an easy, boxy shape, wich is cool for a beginner.

But it's kinda angular... Funny shaped. :D:p

what are you trying to say? ricy rims are cool? and you can't assume that sin is a ricer because you think his rims are ricy... honestly... if you're playing mw with exotics and tuning them with bodykits and stuff... the exotics have the most riciest kits compared to other cars. so... please... keep the comments to a either good or bad and stop the "ur a ricer" comments.
yeah you don't know what sarcasm is I see :cool:
hey chill man... he's just trying to make a joke... (I think :rolleyes:)
if they were 20" they'd be rice.
they're stock size.
and thanks.
so any other plans for monique?
Rims are on order. and I've got a tentative date for brake installation on april 4, rims will be installed at the same time.
brembo brakes man!!! lol i love brembo red. ^^ you should post a pic of the rims getting installed like a before and after thing.
wagner thermosilent or something. near top of the line for light duty.
I thought they're from Rota? Anyway... Brembo 4-pot. :D
Update.

hmmm... not bad... but looks weird since the rims are pure black but the tires aren't and the holes aren't as visible... but the rims definitely give an "umph" to your truck. now... what's next on the list? lol
roll. fucking. cage.
- Rick.
headache/bedrail onepiece curl this weekend.
similar to this, but with rockguard black sprayon.

i wont be adding lights yet, but they'll be coming once i get my act together and get the switchpanel designed first.
edit* btw, im going to be picking up some tireshine of some sort., give it that glossy black wet look.
The pickup needs to be lowered somewhat. WHat I think looks cool is the chromed taillights. :p Also add vinyls to it to make it build reputation :rolleyes:
Quote from: Sinisteredit* btw, im going to be picking up some tireshine of some sort., give it that glossy black wet look.
Use Waxco. My dad uses that and they're good!
this red monster reminds really reminds me on what venom is modelling right now O.o...
- Rick.
the rims look a bit small... but i love the crash bar on the front
are you going to install a dual exhaust as well? it would give even more muscle look to it. and update with a new gloss black color of rims.
monkey, its already got dual exhaust.
really? lol... i really can't see very well then... or it's not clear enough... does it go out the sides?
one on each side yes
okee dokee very nice.
yeah. i think i need to polish the tips again else spray them black.
last picture before i get the headrails on.

yeah... the rims definitely blend in better now.
also, might i say Sin that the wheelbase looks quite a bit too long? just my opinion, but i think a quad-cab would even the proportions out nicely. not that you can do much about it though...
long boxes make that appearance look wrong.
Dbl Post but its my thread.

i c u & stone cold steve austin have the same pickup :rolleyes:
lol... the snow going to melt soon? gotta take er for a wash eh?
yeh, a good bath is next, i hust gave her one on Friday, but she doesnt stay clean long with wet roads and unavoidable puddles. snow melt?.. you live in Canada, you should know Snow is around somewhere in Canada every day of the year. eh!
lol EH-men to that! winnipeg snow is almost gone... but most of the melted water froze again. poor people in selkirk with the ice jam. to tell you the truth... don't wash your car if the weather's going to warm up... cuz your car will get really dirty.
thank goodness my civic is a dark gray so the dirt camouflages itself ahaha. i tried writing wash me on the back of the car and i used the Honda logo lol... so funny.
with the amount of mud on her right now, at night she's a ghost.
ahahaha... in that case... wash her now ahaha
nah....she's good for a few more days., snow is rapidly melting with the warmth we have, . possibly this weekend.
so you live in...? BC?... or ontario?
BC
Ooh... She WAS white? :D
ahaha... yes tw... maybe you should take a vacation to canada... during the winter... and feel what -50 feels like and also come back when the snows melting to see how high the river gets when all the ice and snow is melting and all the brown cars ahaha that used to be white... or w/e color it is ahha
hahah. nvr have the chance. aussie maybe, but not canada. my dad won't go. :(
when you're old enough to make your own trips... do so. Canada is one country that you cannot enjoy just looking at pictures of.. you need to actually see and feel the mountains aind the breeze it gives you.. .. during the winter you dont want to be anywhere in the territories.
