Brokecello's rims

Here is a picture of the cap before and after I sprayed mirra-chrome on it. Once sprayed I clearcoated them, and it dulled them out just bit but perfect match to the lip.




These are going to look so dam nice on Jade.





I sanded and hit a bit of paint on the backside too

Are these the same rims you bought last month?

I was so close!!!!

Those are going to look sweet on the car. Nice work Jarod!

WOW

Wow, those look good Jerrod, nice job.

Do we just give Brokecello best wagon award from WFNY now?

Yes they are, here is what gives:

Chris and I agreed on me painting my rims in return for his white wagon. But when thngs went south for me, it just so happened to be the same exact time Chris sold his eagle alloys. And those were suppose to be going to go on his wagon, so I felt like crap for backing out on the deal. So I still honored our original agreement because he was so psych'd on getting these for his ride. So I prefered to keep him happy and we are working it out financially.

That doesn't mean I won't have set on my wagon when wagonfest comes around,... but things need to change on this end, work wise for that to happen. But work is coming in slowly and we got walk before we can run.

FANTASTIC,Jarrod!Always thought that with a painted rim the color should applied to the inside
as well!

You are a stand up guy Jarrod,.Kudo's to you,.

Nothing worse than making a plan only to have a seller backout and screw up the whole plan.
I sold something recently that i didn't want to sell unless i could upgrade it, to pay for something else, only to be told what i wanted to buy was no longer available, seller changed their mind,. pretty frustrating.

Much respect for that. Hope you get a bunch of work before WagonFest.

Thanks Guy's and as of right now Chris still hasn't seen a pix yet.

those would look so much better on my green whale!

Nice! What brand and size rims ARE these? Are they standard offset?

WOW!!! Those are so awesome!!!


Yes, Jarrod is an awesome guy! Thank you again Jarrod...those are just beautiful!!

I doubt Ill have the best wagon in NY... just shooting to make it there and turn some heads ( or have some heads scratching at least. lol )

Chris

Sweeeeeeet ! Jade will be rockin.

Have you made a tire choice and size yet?They are going to make Jade blush!

You had better put wheel locks on those before the Fest!!!!

There are going to be a few wagons at WF that would look great with those wheels!Jarrod,you
may have a business idea here.Maybe offer sets of wheels prepainted to match the new Camaro's,
Mustang's and Challengers for starters.Buy a few sets first in the popular sizes and go from there.
Advertise in the pony car magazines for starters!

Have the cer owners buy the wheels they want and have them shipped to you!You do your magic and ship the wheels in the same boxes to the owners!Cuts down on your cash outlay and get the
shipping to the new owners prepaid!

What did I tell you Chris,..... they are saweeeet!

They are Ridler 695 he is getting 2- 18x8 4.00 BS and 2- 18x9.5 with a 5.49 BS

BTW I found out today at Spring Carlisle that Ridler is putting this wheel out in 17" next month.

Well, Im thinking about these (245/40/18)

I have a friend that runs this size on his wagon.

Thats only 25.7" tall.Are you sure you want to run such a short tire?Not going to have much rim
protection with such a short sidewall either.

Why so narrow? How wide are the wheels?

A 255/45/18 would be about 27" tall and would give you more sidewall protection as well.

How about some Ford Lightning 295/45/18 fatties for the back?


Those wheels look great. If a better looking car shows up at WFNY I'll be surprised.

Well, it comes down to the budget too. Id love the larger meats, but the prices go up quite a bit. We will see though once the final numbers are in! Im still hunting for sure...

Moving to the wheel and tire section too

Oh! 255/45's at a good price! Anyone use these before?

I ran 275/40's on mine and that was only a 26.7" tire... And I think that was about as low pro as I'd go.

I agree with Bill. This is what I have on my Impala SS. Works great, but no lower.

a 245/45 up front with a 275/40 out back would work

Chris those tires are unknown to me and not really cheap either.Probably another chinese import
of questionable quality and no testing!

Go to your local independant tire store and have them help you pick out tires. You will end up getting a good price. If you take in tires you bought online they will rape you on the labor.

Yeah, actually seeing another forum member (Kurt) in Atlanta. Will get the tires at his shop and he wil mount. Going with Nexen n3000 255/45/18 all the way around.

That will put your tire height at 27" and plenty of sidewall protection.Good choice,now hurry up
and get them tires on!

I use 275 40 18 in front and 295 35 18 rear. Great combo. Handles like a slot car.

He can't, 2 are in transit and the other 2 are still here. I only got 2 painted and shipped but working on the other ones now.

Got the first 2 wheels.....had to take them out and see how it will look!!!

Sweetness..............

You tease!!

So glad I did the center cap that way. This car is going to be hard to top at WF

Going to keep this one I hope!

Killer!!!! Can't wait to see them without the RM wheels behind it

I have to say that those are some sexy rims. My question is: with all that 'open' real estate between the spokes, how does one avoid having the look ruined by the rotor/caliper mess?

I personally would be painting the calipers and the edge of the rototrs to make it look better.
