Thank you.



It helps a little but now the wheels are sitting in boxes waiting for
spring.



As others have stated, there aprons. I didn't want to go with a full
lip and this was exactly the look I wanted.

Thanks for posting the pic khmergod.
OFC! lol I also have a pair waiting for install. Once I grow a pair and tell the wife. But then I might lose those said pair.

Looks great!!

Did forgestar perform the TA pinstripe? Or did you have somebody paint them on afterwards?

I'm wondering how the gunmetal would look w/ a white pinstripe on my white C63

It was all done by Forgestar for an extra $50 per wheel.

It's an exact match, all they need is the vehicle paint code.

I think the the gunmetal with white stripe would look great.
To me, it's a subtle touch that adds a little uniqueness to
the wheel.

Thanks.

Hopefully, sometime in early to mid March it will be all finished. My carbon
fiber vented hood from Dad's should really finish off the look.

You install them and then drive. The car will recognize them after a mile or so.

Looks great. Only concern I'd have w the black pinstripe is that it may make your wheels appear smaller.

^I have the same concern. I've seen cars with full black wheels
and they definately look smaller.

I'm hoping the pinstripe adds a little contrast and uniqueness
to the wheel without appearing smaller. My fingers are crossed.
