Cool What you guys think?

well had been wanting to do this since long time ago due to a lot of damage in my front rim paint, i kind of wanted to just reapaint them the same color but my freind who did it owner of a body shop made me do this wat u guys think.

Car will be a drop in a couple of weeks and im also still thinking on wat color for the calipers and my friend also said he can pin stripe a lil lip around the wheels.

I know is kinf of a love it or hate it situation wat u guys think?

Looks good, don't do the pinstripe around the wheels though.

I'm normally not a fan of painted stock wheels but I think yours pulls em off quite nice

i like it! yeah, good idea not to put pinstripe on the wheels, leave it to the mazda3's and lancers.

seeing you have a 350, and the caliper is huge, i say do it red or blue, it'll stand out and look nice!

Oh, and the black stockies are definitely better than the normal color stockies on a dark car.... I wonder how well the paint will hold up?
