Raj, I wanna know bout ur mysterious wheels that you've been talkin bout for a month or two now so just spill it bro. As for what I'm leaning towards its a tough call. I love/hate how they are now but I am interested in both gold and bronze. Its a pretty tough call.

Solution: gold on one side, bronze on the other!

As for my rims, I'll say this for now... USDM wheels, gunmetal. It's actually been 3 months since I put in my order ... It'll be 13 weeks this Sunday. Original estimate was 6-8 weeks.

Bro I feel your pain. Trust me. I waited 5 months for my Rohana RC10's! That was the main reason why I picked up the LFA's right away to get me by in the mean time. I was eventually gonna pick them up for winter anyways but I wasn't planning on gettin them til November

bored at work so i made some slight changes to colors; less pronounced and not super bright in case you wanted to work with a certain color just less saturated.

Now this is what I'm talkin about Thanks Trinh! Kinda bronze but kinda gold at the same time.


Hopefully someone can do a black chrome for me or some other unique colors or different bronze shades. I am going to be prepping my car for winter in the middle of November I wanna have my winter set on by Dec so I will make my decision sometime by then,

I thought bronze wheels were only for Evos/STIs but they look really good!
