I meant small ahah

 

[Mikex18]

Now lets just wait for the summer, i also put these wheels for sale

I have another set of wheels in mind, but if i dont sell them i'll re-install them in the spring

 

[Mikex18]

The car looks like this for the moment

 

[Nix]

What sort of engine does that car have? I am unfamiliar with KIAs.

Been holding up well for you? Not hating, seriously curious.

Its a 1.6Turbo, it shares the same engine than the Hyundai Veloster Turbo!

Its been a year and a half and 25.000km, and i had zero problem at all, except for a fuel starving issue cause by a fuel line that sometime kinks under load, it happend to me 3times and it will be fixed in the next few weeks when i receive my new aftermarket line

Are the wheels powdercoated a shade of black? I'm having a hard time determining what color they are.....

 

[Mikex18]

They are gun metal

But depending the lighting they look black

 

[loopy]

liking the wheels

 

[Mikex18]

I finally got my upgraded fuel line, i'll install it in the next few weeks! Its the line comming from the pump in the tank to the engine

I also sold my freshly powdercoated wheels ans bought some new ones!
I mounted my tires on then yesterday

18x8 et40 Fast FC04

 

[Nix]

nice! Those other ones didn't even make it on the car did they? After powder I mean.

 

[Mikex18]

Exactly

My main goal was to have them clean enought to sell them for an higher price than i bought them!

And its winter here and Quebec law requires that we have winter tires from december 15th to march 15th

That is the best law. Probably a pain but man, must be nice to know people aren't going to slam into you in the winter cause they have worn out summer tires on in 10cm of snow!

I like those wheels. Unique lines. Never seen them before. Are you going to powder those too?

[Pauly99to17]

Sell them for a profit again? Haha
