Default Just got my wheels painted

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.

A very interesting design. Your car is definately different.

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

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.
