I think this is an odd theme to have..

But if that's what you're going for then go for it!

I would say paint your interior tom the same color too

Man, y'all just hating. I need to refinish 3 of the wheels which will require me to repaint them anyways so why the hell not. Or it's white with Pink stickers, idk yet.

Here's my white renders...

And the "temporary" render since the wheels are bronze

Snice last Friday
I wish they're TE's... They're Varrstoens Was too good of a deal to pass up so I had a friend pick em up for me since I'm still in HK. Specs suck, but I could care less for now. 18x8 +35 same specs as my stocks except for offset which is 20mm less so it'll be somewhat flush now.

+1. Bronze on white is a pretty good combo...basically anything beats pink.

The current tires on there are 225/40 which is what's pictured, but I'm swapping the stock tires on there because the ones on the Varrstoens are racing slicks

And the settings were 1/400, f/4, ISO100. I edit all my photos so that's not straight from the camera

I wanted the 11-16 for the longest of time, but ended up liking the 12-24 lol.




Also! Finally got a CREE reverse bulb, output is alright I guess, or maybe because there was still light out, idk. It definitely works as a blinding light though

^that's awesome hahah.. I'm sure the light output is bright enough to tell the guy to gtfo

I have the canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5. Aperture isn't great but it's cheap, and it's hellawide for non full frame.

I edit on lightroom, but I'm pretty shit at figuring out what to do .

edit: Those marks aren't awesome, meant the blind light . Did you get those from rubbing on your new set of wheels already? Although with your stock tires, you'll probably rub more with the higher side profile. Get some touchup paint before it gets worse!

that looks like an easy fix. sand it back a tiny bit and put some touchup.

Rubbing was from the stocks wheels getting up and down my driveway. New wheels won't be on till next week when my hub centric rings come in. In the mean time, I'll just work on fixing the rash and re painting them

the thing is it may look very bubbly after you paint it. you may not have the trained eye to see the slightest imperfections. When i made my iPad thing i was sanding it for no lie 13ish hours just to get every imperfection off. Happy Sanding!
