Triple black... new wheels = new look = new pics

Got them back from the powdercoater last week. They're powdercoated a metallic black & have a gorgeous sparkle in the sunshine =)

I love the look, I think it really changes the attitude of the car. Also the staggered setup is way superior to the prior even widths all around. The rear sticks much tighter in the turns... only downside is that it darts a little more during subtle moves like lane changes... anyways - here you go! Some people will love it, others will hate it but that's ok with me - I'm very pleased with the results.

Next I'm going to do the X-Brace & some coilovers to try to tighten up the handling a little more & drop the front end about an inch to get rid of that unsightly gap. Oh, going to smoke the corner lights & tint the windows too... will it ever end

The before:

Looks great - like the polished lip look as well.

Agree with you on the staggared tire setup! (got it on mine aswell)

thanks guys!

The powdercoating was done by Mark's Powdercoating in Goose Creek, South Carolina. Cost me $80 a wheel which included stripping the paint.

very nice indeed.
definitely fits the look of your car. and with your near future plans, it'll look even better than it does now.

It seems like Black on Black is the way to go these days. Do you think I could get away with some BLK wheels on dakar? It would look kinda freaky I assume
