what do you think would look nice on a red ep if I paint my stock wheels? I'm thinking of either red or gunmetal....

Hey Halo, ya I like to join, where in Guildford area are you guys meeting? How do I get a hold of you guys?

nice job on the semi-gloss black rims Jose, my wheels are off the car and tires dismounted, so I think it's a good chance to paint them, but I don't have a heat gun to warm up the metal! would a blow dryer work? hehehe..all I got is time..and very little money...sigh..I love the bronze ones you did too, looks pro man! some local shops are asking like $175 Canadian for each wheel powdercoated, that's just as much as buying a new set of rims! 17"!!! sigh....

This is the location of the meet,

Guildford Library/Chevron station is really easy to get to. For those coming from Vancouver, first exit off of the Portmann Bridge, 152nd Street, at the 2nd traffic light, 105th Ave, you are there. From Richmond; if you take the Alex Fraser to Delta, it is the first exit off the bridge, go up the hill, the road eventually becomes 88th Ave. Proceed up 88th Ave until you get to 152st Street(Safeway Store on the left at the light). Turn left onto 152nd Street and proceed along until you come to 105th Ave where the Chevron is on the left.

See you there;)

Either gunmetal or black would be sweet on a red car.

dont paint your stock wheels. thats ghetto.you can get a nice set of rotas for damn 400 bux. and then 200 for tires. sell your EP rims for at least 450. thats 150 and ya got urself RIMS not some cheap ass looking stockers.that my opinion.
