So.
Not buying new wheels this season.. Sticking to performance stuff and time on the track. I have some Drift-R wheels... And I am done with silver wheels on a silver car.
So.. refinishing them...
Black, Bronze, Hot pink, Green, White, Suggestions.
Here is a pic with a quick PS of them close to white.

I would have loved to go with these gram lites FS in van... but im already poking a 17x8+35 in the rear... a 17x9+12 would poke 36mm more :o

i have multiple color pics at work, and will post them tomorrow.
the white wheels in the first pic are the ones gettin refinished
i am really leaning towards white, i really like that pic. **Damien, I know how hard white wheels are to keep clean, and that won't sway my choice**

i didnt. i wanted to. but they just wont fit. 10mm poke as is.. plus an extra 36mm poke with the gramlights... 46mm poke is too much.

next year i will probably go with some gloss black 18x10 P45R wheels on 225 tires. and some body work to make it all kosher.

this is just because i cannot stand silver on silver anymore.

Whenever my gunmetal Work CR Kais get here I'll snap a pic and see if that helps with your decision making. I hate friggin' with wheels. It has such a critical impact on the appearence of the car.

it helps that i am amazing at photoshop. but yes, guessing with wheels is a pain in the arse. this body kit i have is clean and sleek... im looking to make the car more aggressive when i go with a new set of wheels.. so any helk / opinions there would be welcome.
