Its gonna sound like I'm a hater here Chip, but I am most certainly not! The new wheels are awesome, but why do they have so much stamping on them? Name of the brand of wheel, name of the wheel, size of the wheel, etc. It makes them look a little busy, whereas if they would have just put that info on the back it would have cleaned up the look so much better.

Anyways congrats on all fronts, car is freaking gorgeous!

They're probably copying the big names that put the writing on the front...and they're like, well if 3 writings are good, how about FIVE WRITINGS!!?!?

Thanks for the love and feedback everyone!

And Matt, no offense taken. I can see what you mean and that look may not be for everyone. I do kinda wonder why they put some much extra stamping on the wheel myself. A little bit I don't mind, but they could have done without the 18x9 size stamp and the stamps around where the valve stem is at least IMO. It's really only noticeable in close shots like the one you quoted. Move a couple feet back and you're good to go, lol.

Also here are some more generic pics of the rims and some of the calipers as the work was being done to them. I also added in amber V3 Tritons to my rear turn signals. The 68SMD LED's weren't bright enough during the day when the turn signal was on. I was getting a lot of people blowing their horn at me when turning, like I wasn't even using my turn signal, so that needed to change. Especially if I don't want anyone to rear end me.
