Personally, white would clash with what I have done

However, with Aaron's dark purple, I think it would look awesome.

Whew...I'm not the only one.



And WD, you do not live in a climate like mine where it is 75% snowy and when it starts to melt, becomes a brown mess with all the sand/dirt they dump everywhere to de-ice.

Keeping your car clean is nothing like what I have to deal with.

I disagree. My car is black and I live on a dirt road. I wash it, come out next morning, pollen and water spots all over.

It's dirty but not filthy.

No worries...not forcing you to do anything here.

Just saying that white rims may look really nice on your ride and it's something to consider down the road.

I can't believe how tenacious plastidip is if not laid down properly...

actually, come to think of it, that's probably why it won't come off...those crevices in rims are notorious for not getting a nice even coat of color/clear...I bet the forgestar finish was somewhat gritty in those areas and then, not much plasti covered it...and then perfect surface for the purple to adhere to. Even my works have that in the corners...the gritty finish.

Some of my links have died on Page 72 due to an error on my end.

I have rehosted them. If you'd like to see them, here is my photostream.

And a little update from tonight. I ran into a kid at the Acura dealership on Monday and he informed me of a local meet. It was pretty cool

Below are pics of a nice TSX that was there and a pic of my new friend's wheel.

^^^I'm not sure we approved that. I'm not ready for him to spread his wings (among other things) yet.

Cool pictures though, Austin. Nice wheels too...Ray's right?! Lightweight.

Where at? Find out, I'd be down to go. I need to meet these "new friends" of yours...make sure they're not figuring out a way to get you somewhere dark to clock you and take your wheels.
