So after a month or so I finally got my wheels back and on the car. I told them gunmetal and it came out sort of a battleship gray type color. I absolutely love them!. The finish is perfect. The fronts are 17x7.5 +48, I wish I would have went larger in the front. The rears are 17x9 +45. No crazy dumpage, just lowered on Eibach prokit. I wish I could lower it more in the front. The tires are General tire UHP. They got a great rating on Tirerack and were a great price. 245/40ZR-17 rear and 215/45ZR-17 front.

Here are some random snaps from the past two weeks.

First got the wheels and sent them to the powder coater.



Then tires came.



After a month of waiting and hearing the color I wanted was on back order, I finally got them back.





Some snaps in the rain because I was impatient.







And finally a nice day in PA











Hope you like!

 

the color must look way better in person. i dont think the pics are doing it justice..

 

I agree it looks alot more gray in person. I'm planning a photoshoot with a photography skilled friend.

 

It looks different in every picture! Not exactly my style but :thumbsup:

 

I liked the before better, but glad you're happy with the results.

Hell, at this point it's just refreshing to see wheels posted in the gallery that actually fit on the damn car...

 

the original silver would look better IMO.....but im not the one that has to like it.

 

It reminds of the Evo 9 MR BBS Wheels the regular ones

 

The color makes the wheels kinda look dity. But I'm sure a closer look reveals a much nicer impression. Matches great with a yellow S imo.

 

Sadly it looks like you cleared over rattlecan primer in the pics.

 

Next time you need new tires, get wider ones to compensate a bit more for the wheel gap.
