New Wheels

mcqueen · March 1st, 2010, 07:52 PM

Finally the weather has gotten nice enough I can put my new wheels on! Was going to do this myself but I was talking to a buddy and he told me to just bring the car over and we'd get it done fast since he has an impact wrench.

18" 2010 GT Premium wheels, staggered of course. Got a few pics with the phone so here they are!

The wheel in the first pic was a complete PITA. Thole holes were too small to fit even a thin walled socket so we lubed up the 21mm socket we were using and jammed it in. The fucker got stuck in 3 of the 5 holes and slightly chipped the paint on the edges of the holes trying to get it back out. Nothing noticeable unless you go looking for it though. Took us a good 30 minutes on that one damn wheel. The rest went on easy as pie though

Please ignore my cracked bumper and dirty ass car

Lol we would have but I had to be at work at 5. He had school until 3 so I went over at 3:30 figuring it would take maybe a half hour or so to swap all the wheels. We were trying everything we could think of short of grinding the socket and I ended up having to call in "sick" since I couldn't drive back across town with 2 lugs on that wheel
