Bunkx9, did you paint/power coat the wheels? Or did you plasitip them? Or they came with it? Thanks.

Thanks, I was skeptical about these wheels. The rears seem to have a concaved effect.Bunk helped me out with the choice.


Next mod...

I plasti dipped them. 4 coats of black + 2 glossifier. They turned out really good. Just out of curiosity I applied 2 thick coats of glossifier on the tires too. I've been driving in rain and on dirty roads all week and the tires still have that wet look to them.

That-a-boy!! Looking good!! I really like the red calipers too. Well done. Do you see what I mean about having the "chop down the road" look? These wheels completely transform the car's appearance.

Thanks Bunk! Look very nice. The neighbor boy was telling me about his plan to plastidip his WRX wheels. Maybe one of these warm days I will join him and dip mine

xzotik1: Man definitely a head-turning look. I like the red calipers and wheels combo.

Yeah, I had my wife to drive it on the highway while I followed in her SUV. I didn't think I would like these wheel, also I didn't think that the stock springs would work so well.
