This is a great start. Car and wheels look really clean. However, with such a versatile car color and very unique set of wheels you could have gone with a much more unique color for them.

Believe me I tried. I took the centers to every shop in town and they all said they same thing. They would "try" to paint them but couldnt guarantee anything between the spokes as they couldnt get clear coat in there well. I then went to a powdercoater who could do it but couldnt come up with a gold color I was happy with. The upside is after taking these apart and putting them back together I see how easy it is. I may try again somewhere in the future but for now I am going to love the way the anthracite hides the brake dust. :) I am wondering how Blue would have looked to match the mirror caps. I was alsi thinking about resale value as I dont seem to hold on to wheels long.

Lower it, G! Those wheels look small with the car so high.

Yeeeahhhh...except it needs to be you-or-matt-low to really work. I think this was the best color he could go with to keep it OEM+ ish (sans mirrors LOL)

I am debating coilovers but am holding off because I might be trading it for my old red wagon. :ph34r:

Hiding brake dust is a big plus. Especially since mesh style wheels can be a bitch and take forever to clean.

Matching them to the blue on the mirrors was actually my gf's suggestion.
