My new wheels
I'm not into big lips. . .bleh! And I wanted "stealthy" lookin' wheels, but in a bronze color. I finally got 'em back from the powdercoaters, who I might add, totally rocked. The metallic bronze that I picked wasn't the easiest in the world to work with, but they got it done. Kudos to them! I'll get my FK-452s mounted at FTL on monday night and then get these on the car ASAP.

Thanks y'all!
PC was a little less than $300, which included media blasting, powder and clear coat. I got lucky tho, the company usually does motorcycle frames/wheels, and specializes in cold chroming exhaust parts. The powder I picked was such a hassle to work with, they said they'd up the price if they had to do 'em again. But. . .you may be able to talk 'em down a bit. You didn't hear me say it tho.

Great choice in wheels! Given those widths, you really should've gone with the 12mm offset in the rear. That would've been perfect. With the current setup, you'll need 15-20mm spacers front/rear.
