I don't particularly like your wheels. They look good, but when it comes to the silver star in the middle of each wheel it throws me off. You have a nice ride though, keep it shining.

What I really wanted was all black. we all know that there are tons of them with the chrome ring around the outside of the rim. i found these and am toying with the idea of blacking the chrome star. more to come later

Hi and thanks. I've got alot of pics, i just haven't uploaded yet. I know that most of the members here are doing real mods, i found a cheaper alternative to the $4000 brembo set-up. i found someone on ebay selling fiberglass covers that get high-temp siliconed and stuck to the calipers. that's right. they are phonies. they look great and untill i have the dough to lay down for a brembo kit, these will do. As far as other mods, i'll list and upload later on . thanks and am glad to have joined up!!!

Aw man...that's exactly what I was about to say! It looks like a cop car with that - CHANGE THOSE! NOT FUNNY MAN! I was about to delete all my pics showing my plates! (j/k) Hey, dude, you do have to tell us if you are a cop right?

I'll wait on the wheel change, but for now...

ROFL, shit I fell over. The best part is I work in a building with about 400 or so cops with all of thier "toys"
Maybe it 's rubbing off trying to go stealth and all...

Go to pep boys, they have some "wheel paint" in a spray can that some people have used with great success. If not, you can always get some good old BBQ grill paint or something with bit more endurance. I would suggest painting it flat-black, or something distinctly different from the black the wheels are so it won't look like you were trying to paint it the same color but messed up on the color-matching.
