Found 4 sets that have popped up. Two reasonably priced at 100 and 150.
The tow others are way too much.
But I picked up a set of 16's today. My wheel search is over.

Nice, I wanna get some rolling pics of mine soon.

Just thought Id update my personal thread. I havent changed much on the car since the front page, However I am getting ready to paint the BBS Wheels.
Also I'll link to a couple videos I made with some friends on a cruise through some local roads.

Getting prepped for Summer. I have started by painting my BBSs, since im too cheap to buy new wheels I figured why not give them a refresh.

Ive only completed 2, well they still need clear coat. I planned to get them completed today, since Im off work. However the weather decided not to cooperate and rain.
hey man i love your aveo =D> and all the progress. rims are very clean. did those run alot? hope all works well in the end when the rims mounted.
Thanks.
The wheels didnt cost much really. I got them used for $150 with tires, and rode them for 2 seasons. I had planned on selling them but since buyers were pretty unreliable I figured why not just paint them. Now I really want to lower the car and get rid of the offroad look.
do u have a cardomain? ima have 2 look into those beamer wheels for my honda, but i dont think they will fit. my lug pattern is the size bigger. and btw the white wheels are gonna look soo sweet on that blue wave.
I have a cardomain, I just havent been on it in years. I had actually bought these off a Civic owner. Just mentioning that since you sais youve got a honda.
my pattern is 4X114.3 on the honda accord.
my girls owns the aveo and the pattern is 4 X 100 4 X 3.94. we can swap wheels when they are universal lug :) win win for both of us 8)
Very nice wheels, reminds me of Eric Shivley's 88' MK2 Golf GTI 16V...So sexy...

mount the hoes already.lol pics pics
I decided to finally get around to doing something Ive long wanted to do. I went out and picked up an inexpensive CTR front lip spoiler.
I started by sectioning it right down the middle and took if i remember 4 inches out (2 in each direction) That ended up being too much so I had to epoxy an inch back on, no biggie.

I also had to heat bend the two sides to get a better fitment to the curvature of the bumper, I was actually suprised at how decent it already lined up, how ever due to the some aysymetry (of either the part or car) its a bit off when I was cutting/ bending but I can work with it.

In the pics they dont meet, however, that is due to the left side not fitting soo snugly to the bumper. when it does the two halves meet perfect.
What sucks right now though is lastnight while spraying the last 2 lips on my wheels i ran out of paint, now I need to find some Toyota Medium Blue paint.
Also, my heat gun died while working on the lip and I need it to massage areas for better fitment.
cool.
Looks pretty good. How do you plan on rejoining the pieces together?
Im going to start off with some Epoxy glue, then Ive got Epoxy resin left over from school projects so Im just going to layer some fibreglass strips on the inside to reinforce the bond.
that looks good
i like it
Looks pretty nice cant wait till you post finished product. i wanna see how it turns out
Nice.... now tint your headlights or get black ones from internet... Or take them apart and paint them... I think that would look sick IMO... I just went with eBay halo black housing headlights...
I was actually thinking of doing that next month when my buddy and I lower it. just get it all done the same day. That way I can take them apart spray them, then while they dry work on the suspension. That way I'll be pre occupied to not touch the parts while they dry. Im really impatient.Quote:

So this is the new color? And what holiday are you guys celebrating? It's a full-blown work day for us over here...
Its Good Friday, so I got the day off work to work on the car. But everyone else had the day off soo nothing was open so I couldnt buy paint or get my tires installed. Im going to pick up paint tomorrow morning and hopefully get my summer wheels on by the end of next week.Quote:

That bowling alley wall/sign is an awesome backdrop! Good photo location scouting.
FINALLY!!! =D> yea man i love them white wheels with that blue! the lip looks nice 2!
Looks like an RC car! In a good way. :) =D> It's cool.
So Im not quite sure where to go next with the exterior of my car so I decided to venture on into the interior. I picked up some fabric and wrapped the A Pilars, I plan to tackle the B and Cs later on.

For some reason the color reminds me of the blue aveo that had all the white and blue fur inside it... But very nice color choice
So you're sticking to all blue black/white theme....
Yes it does. good observation.Quote:
