My s12 rims for auto-X

[silforty]

Well i'm almost done with my thin dish s12 mesh rims. The lip is polished and they are about to be sprayed. My question is about tires. I believe the rims are 15x6.5 . I'm trying to figure out if a 215/50/50 would work. I'm a lil concerned that there would be to much tire hanging on the rim. A lil help would be nice. I'l post pics of the rims soon

you could fit it, but you'll get somewhat sluggish response. I would go with a 205/50 for auto-x.

what did you use to polish your rims? i have the exact ones. can you post pictures?

Basically all I did was get some like 10 grit sandpaper and sanded out all of those fine lines on the lip of the rim, Once all of those fine lines were gone, i used a 150, a 220, i should have used a 400 next but didn't have it so i skipped right to 600 and then 800. Then i hit the lip with some mother's polish. The lip turned out pretty good. I haven't sprayed the rims yet. Hopefully this week they'll be done. The only prob is that i need to find two more of those rims. They're hard to find where i'm at
