Don't know what color you're going with on the body, but Id say dark barrel and light centers. The all black look for the wheels is a little dated.

Don't think just because you laid down the color first
I was going to walk away from it

Dang
Jk
I'm excited to see the color on your car! Just glad I get some of the spotlight before you steal it away
What wheels are you gonna have on? I;m thinking of color matching the Vossens or going to a dark gloss gunmetal.

Ive always loved gloss black barrels with flat black spokes/faces.

Hope youre not going with some crazy paint. Just something subtle to show off the great bodywork

Dropped off the wheels today


Tian I thought you knew the wheels I was using

360 Forged Mesh 10
20x10
20x13

The lip is staying polished I'm not painting the barrels
but I decided to powdercoat the centers Flat Black instead of painting
Flat Black powercoating should make the calipers stand out more


No crazy color still sticking with my original color (Grigio Silverstone)
which Tian borrowed for a few


Temporary Track wheels on until Rota can get me my widebody setup =0((

I was thinking of doing the same thing to mine since my car is going to be a matte black. I decided against it because so many people are rockin the black faces. Those 360's should be hot. Cant wait to see it all together.

Thanks man I been letting the bodyshop know about all the positive reviews
and they are definitely going all out on the car. Car should be done before Christmas according to them. I'm definitely going to take care of them when the car gets done but as far as 6 months vacation I don't know. I have had many inquiries about them and If half of the people that have been asking about them actually follow through I think they will be busy for quite awhile.

As far as price it is comparable to buying a widebody kit and having a shop fit,prep and spray, let's just say it is in the mid teens .
