Here's a picture of my 1999 Volvo S80 T6 rims before I went to work on them today!

The rims on my Lex were not this dirty, here's just to show how much cleaner i was able to actually make some rims look!

Even though repainting the way Aerostar did does not seem overly difficult, I'll avoid the hassle for now. The clean rims are really adding to the look!

One thing that really annoys me, is when washing your car, you catch the first glimps of a NEW door ding. My signature no longer applies. This really ticks me off.

*sidenote* how do I post more than 1 picture in one post? These images are in the gallery, so how do I go about that so that I can avoid this 10 character minimum as well as the 40 second lag, not to mention having to make 6 posts?

Shameless plug but , if anyone wants to buy these same type of rims from me (almost mint condition, only used for 2 years) for 50 bucks (pick up only unless ur paying for shipping). Let me know!


Pm me if interested

and your sure that you had the image URL, not the URL of the gallery page displaying the image... next time open your image in the gallery, right click, open up properties, copy the image url, and do what I said above.

If your on a mac hold the controll key and click on the image with your mouse, then go to "open image in a new window" then copy the url of the image in the address bar, then paste that inbetween the [img][/img].

good luck

Ah HA is right, but please make sure they are not so big folks have to scroll over to see half of it. 800 pix wide is the screen max within the forum box.

I used to detail cars at a dealership when i was a teenager. Ah. sweaty memories
