Jay (im assuming youre name is Jay...am i right?), all i did, which was a horribly half assed job, i layed the wheels down, cleaned em in a half ass manner, and painted them using Texuted Metallic paint from DupliColor, ill take a pic of the can later on if youd like, theres so much paint on those wheels its not funny

Zach...i actually dont have any wheel weights, i didnt antite putting them on and taking pics, because i was going to go through the whole process that Carmen has on his site, but the paint was too durable, and would have taken too much work, once i painted em black, i was like what the hell, threw em on, took pics, and the only reason ive been driving it is to take pics

and in the first pic, you can look closely, and see that i didnt even mask the tire, i painted the hell out of em, then whiped em down with carb cleaner, in a half-assed manner

Check your JPG compression settings. The more the pic is compressed, the smaller the actual file gets, but the image gets more grainier and loses detail. And sometimes resizing can do weird things too.

IE: The turbo blowed up real good, he was too cheap to replace it, so he decided to live with 1/2 the HP?  :disappoin

Brians car has a NA cast piston engine, He decided not to chance blowing it up by installing a turbo on it.

I wasn't bashing the guy at all.  At least his car is probably a LOT more reliable that way.

I meant the previous guy who "converted" it to NA.
