Well, I dropped off my wheels last week with my paint guy and finally picked them up today. I didn't want to make them all black like the standard for wheel painting and the AP2's didn't have that fat lip that you could leave like the AP1's to give a polished lip look to it. Anyway, I drew up some ideas in photoshop and came up with the end result. They have been painted with berlina black and a few clear coats have been applied to the whole wheel. the paint on it is amazing. I didn't want to do a plain center cap b/c I think it makes wheels look off brandish or just painted over so I opted for Rick's emblems to match the ones I already had on the car. Here are some shots of the wheels after I just got home:





My car has been waiting for a good wash so I went ahead and did that as well. It's so much easier when you're wheels are already clean



I'll post some more when I get a few better shots in the daylight.

 

very nice!

 

wow, very cool . I have never seen anything like that before.

 

A very interesting design. Your car is definately different.

My question for you is how do you like those Falken 615's

 

wow, dig the wheels!

 

not my cup of tea...

props to you though

 

different

 

I like them just fine. On the street, they're comprable to the RE050's. Plus they give a lot more cold grip. My next track day is in April so I'll have to wait until then to see how they really compare. So far I haven't been dissapointed and they're a pretty good price too.

 

Looks cool! Did you repaint your start button as in your avatar?

 

Lookin good Joe
