I finally got a set of the T5/Turbo fanblade wheels for my 850 turbo for a 100$. Will 205/55 r16s clear my wells?

 

Should clear fine.

 

Here they are after i finally got some new rubber for em and painted them

 

Shelby: your car looks just like mine, including the smoked tail lights. I've taken it a bit further though and painted my wheels black and painted the calipers red. Also, I'm running 205/55/16 on my car and they clear just fine.

 

yeah i was gonna go black wheels but decided to go with the graphite, my calipers are also painted red lol. and yeah those tires fit like a dream i got a sweet deal on a set of yokohama avid av4s i love the 16" wheels much better than the 15s as a far as handling and the road noise aint too bad

 

Looks good, time for some showroom new on those bumpers.

 

tell me about it, whats the best way to de fade them so to speak?

 

Bumper black paint works wonders. I did it on my bumpers, door handles, and mirrors. I'll take and post some pics for you when I get a minute. I'll also post a pic of the the can of what I used on mine.

By the way, gas door lists 205/55/16 as the original size tire on my car. . .

 

The rims look good. I am back to sporting 16's at the moment as well.
I went a close color to what you used.
Different wheels than yours though.

 

Clearcoat those taillights! Looks a little bit tacky :P IMO

 

+1 on the clearcoating the headlights. I did mine, then wetsanded them. I was VERY happy with the result.

As for what to use to restore the bumpers:

This

Attachment 2655

will make bumpers, mirror trim, and your door handles look like this:

Attachment 2653

Attachment 2654

And one can should do your front bumper, rear bumper, side panel trim, door handles, and mirror trim.

Works great

 

Hey Shelby, mind giving me some pointers on how you painted your mags? I rly like the color and think that it would suit my black 854. Were they painted with a rattle can, an air painter, or powder coated? What paint did u use?

 

well i sanded them down, just enough so the paint would stick, i actually used 2 rattle cans of Dupli-Color graphite wheel paint.

whats wrong with my headlightss...? i need to re clear coat my tail lights though

 

Idk why he said headlights. I was referring to your tails.

 

lol yeah i know, those wheels are much more suited for this car than the glt wheels

 

yeah, I meant tail lights....sorry.
