The wheels look great, Fernando. Can you find out the brand and name of the powder that was used?

New color looks great! To be honest it is pretty close to Volk bronze (as far as I can tell from the photos). It's just the gloss version of their bronze haha

Those look so good. I'm sure it'll hold you off on getting different wheels for at least a little while.

I'm still thinking about hopping onto the RPF1 train, so don't pull the trigger too quickly!

Thanks! All I know is that it's called Phantom Bronze.

In the shade that's pretty much true, once they're in the sun they're much, much darker and it's a rather interesting colour.

Who knows! LOL, I can never make up my mind, and this colour isn't floating my boat 100%.


So I mounted the tires today, had a good day at work and was all pumped up to toss the wheels onto the car. As I'm lowering the car it rolls away on me and backs into the work bench that's behind the car because I am a dumbass and didn't leave it on gear and/or use the parking brake. I work on cars for a living so it also makes this 100000000000x's more embarrassing. Long story short I now need a new trunk lid.

I was so pissed off that I didn't even bother to try my best with taking pictures after, the only thing that makes it slightly better is that the trunk lid already had a baseball size dent in it so it would've had to be fixed/replaced anyhow but I'm still rattled.
