I like it... nice clean look.... the only thing I would suggest is that if you smoke those rear taillights I think it would really give a nice extra touch to it...

well when i first painted the rims i thouhg they looked alittle bit like the for gt rims for sum reason. but those are jsut pics. u gotta see them in first person they look alot better then stock. the black paint makeeach spoke seem slimmer, making look like 17 inch spokes. i luv them, and they make the rim shineee when it contrasts with the balck a silver. and the little lip around the rim also stands out more. its a great mod for about 40 bucks canadian.

to fenix: i used red caliper paint with a brush. no mess and easy to do. looks good when cleaned. but they do chip i should have baked it but didnt wanna tamper with the brakes. NOT YET ANYWAYS...

nice ride, how difficult was the engine swap? You're the only person i've seen with a k24 swap. Everyone else is still running on the stock 3.0sohc V6. Your car looks awesome, way to make it stand out!!

i used tremclad rust inhibitive paint. i first cleaned up my rims using rubbing alcohol to remove all the dirt. i then taped them up and applied 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of tremclad clearcoat. because of the angles of the sides of the spokes they did chip but still look better then stock. and if u plan to use them as ur winter rims its a great mod...
