New wheels..again
heres another shot at wheels for me since the blue Rotas cracked. Theyr Enkei NT03-M 18x10.5 +30 all around. After i got them i had them powder coated a bright orange. They are being put on this week. Yes my fenders are getting rolled and pulled. Let me know what you think. And yes i know i need to finish my aspec kit.

I dig them.

But without the rest of your car done, it can look temporarily awkward.

my god

those will surely stand out.

I would never do it, and IMO it makes the car look like a cheap toy.

Thumbs up for doing something different

be interesting to see how they look when mounted with tires.... to pull those off you need to be slammed on the ground

WOW that's real orange. You need to finish up the car to make them look good on there I think. But I am sure you know that already

Nice! So they powder coat the entire rim? Didn't mask anything off, I thought that was bad??? What size tires do you plan on running?

toooo many colors....

car/tails/rims/tires etc....

you gotta figure a way to flow the color....put an aspec kit on...switch your tails for some blacked out ones....switch your sidemarkers and then put these rims on....

LOVE the wheels, everything about them.

Mounted on a DGP? Not a fan.

I like the wheels, but don't like the color. Like someone mentioned, it clashes horribly with the taillights and adds too many colors to the overall flow of the car. But maybe that's the point...guess I'm slow to jump on the neon-wheel bandwagon.

Well it's def not gunna be for a lot of people as shown here. Guess the reason I went with them is they are different than anything on here, I'm not a fan of half the cars on here with the Ron Jons... But to each his own I guess! Thanks for all the responses everyone more pics will be up soon when they r mounted.

I don't really think that those orange wheels match your DGP, but at least they match your shirt!!

Nice!

I think this is a smart move with your car because it will decrease the chance that people will pull out in front of you because they're going to see your TL for sure. The color of your TL blends in with most surroundings especially when you're driving through an area with lots of trees. The orange will certainly help other people be more aware of your presence.
