Default Trafficstars....Version 2

After a long process and crazy thoughts in my head. I went ahead and went for it and had my TRAFFICSTARS re-finished in a Custom Pearl Blue...
Its a HATE it or LOVE it type of deal and im LOVING IT.
I just got tired of seeing almost every Silver car with Black wheels so i went out on a limb.

These shine crazy in the daylight and i will get more pics up. I just had them finished yesterday.....

Before




More to come soon

Definitely looks good. I want to see some daylight pics. I want to see your lips glow blue

Do they make those wheels anymore, and can you get them in size 17's or 18's?

I'm really not feeling this crazy colored wheel trend. Is it supposed to be JDM or something?

idk if its supposed to be JDM, but personally i think the pic i posted looks hot. It's just a unique way to tie in the theme of the car i think. i'm pretty sure axis has a few racing inspired flat black wheels with a red stripe or something going around the edge of the lip.


however the monotone theme trend has been around for a while (i.e. color matched rims)
