I finally updated the wheels and tires on my Century.. I really like the update on the car. :biggrin:

Damn those look good....they really throw off the gold Century's granny-mobile look. No offense, it looks fuckin' awesome like this...

Posted

Those rims really help take of some of the granny effect! What are they from?

Posted

Those rims do look a lot better.

 

Whats that big pointy thing in the background though?

Thanks Guys, I was kinda sick of the old look. I do like white wall tires, but its not a 70's buick Century as much as I would like it to be.. :lol: I can't beleive the difference it made going to a little wider wheel/tire combo too. Seems to track and handle a lot better without any sacrifice to ride.

 

Umm pointy things? Ohhhh... you mean the Mountains in the background? Yup, the Rocky Mountains.. about 4 minutes from my house to the start of the canyon US hyway 6. Its been deemed one of the most dangerous commutes in the nation or some such..

 

Those are off of a 2003-04 Buick Rendezvous. I got the idea from my wifes car that has those (I didn't steal hers :lol:) but thought they might look kinda classy on my Century. Now it atleast lookes like it could be an '03... lol

One of the running jokes my buddies all say is if I ever get divorced, I will now be able to pick-up women under 50... :D

Michigan isn't flat! We even have a mountain range!

I know MI has a mountain range. I've been up the UP a lot and they have a mountain range. The area that me and Spencer live around is very flat.

Well the Detroit area is, and I dont get out of the area much :P

Well, you guys live in the city...:lol: Quite a bit of Michigan is hilly.

I grew up here so the mountains are something I pretty much take for granted now and I shouldn't, they make this state really. Without them Utah wouldn't really be anything worth while.

Well, I mean Flint is/was Buick City I guess...but still. Sorry the pic is bad quality, I saw him on Dort Hwy while I was driving and all I had was my phone.

if you squint REAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY hard, and hit yourself in the head with a brick a few times, it almost looks like a 95-99 Riviera.

Little late... but seeing as Matt posted a pic a few pages back of my crosslaces on his Z, here they are in their new home

I Love the international 4 door cars. It looks pretty good with those rims on there too.

Posted

Too much wheel gap for me...

It will look a whole lot better a few months from now when its got the old GTP suspension on it. It's all getting redesigned/repowdercoated/rebuilt over the next few months and put on the cutty.

As my old friend Peter Griffin always says..."I like pie". Taken this morning near Memphis.
