    Busy weekend

    Well I got a few things done this weekend. I went ahead and cut the roof rail covers to fit over my roof rack mount points. I still have to paint them and do some finishing touches but here is a preview.




    I will be painting the Roof rails and cladding in the next couple months.


    Next I have had some issues with air in my tire recently and found that my front right wheel was cracked. So here was my solution.





    I like these rims a lot and now I REALLY have to paint my cladding. Darn….



    The above pic also shows how they sit in relation to the cladding. I really wanted my tires to be out towards it more before and now it fits just like I wanted.

    ROCK ON!!


    EDIT: Sorry about the crappy pics, I took my nice digital but the batteries are junk, I just bought them

    Nice! The rims look good. So you gonna keep a stock rim for a spare or did you buy a 5th rim? Your VX is gonna look sweet with painted cladding.

    Is that Kickboxer or Bloodsport? I can't remember which on, been a while since I have seen a Van Damme flick...

    I just got four, which is good cause those wheels are heavy and I cant imagine trying to get a full size up on the roof with that wheel. So I may put my other two up for sale here, not sure.

    I think its bloodsport, not sure. I just found it and thought it was great.

    Was that the set from Summit? How heavy are they vs. stock? Also, those rail covers look great!!

    Yeah they are the Crager Soft 8 rim, not those clearance ones. The clearance were 15 inch. I am not sure how much they weigh, but they are heavier and I think I should get a set of bracklines cause I notice a difference.

    I will just go black with it

    Yeah my thoughts exactly, once I get the cladding done and tinted it will look great.

    nice you did a good job with those rail covers.. have to get a better shot of those wheels.. but thats making me lean towards doing my new wheels in black instead of color matched...

    I am really thinking about it. I think once the windows and cladding are done I will be able to make my decision easier.

    I definately plan on getting better (Bigger) tires later in the year.

    NICE! In all honesty, I think you should stay with the silver, and just paint the cladding and insert black like you plan, and it will look freaking sick.
