No more blue wheels, went nuts today *pics*

My rims were a very dark blue before, but they were getting a little beat up and was time for a change. I've been after a dark copper look for awhile, and today i took the plunge. It came out lighter than I want, but for now, I can live with it.

On with the pics:

I can't say they are exactly awful, just very unique.

I never liked the blue, nor do I like the new copper. I would get the copper paint you used and paint the calipers copper though.

Looks cool, very different. I like it but once these get beat up try dark grey (like the 65 wheels) or black to match the emblems..

Alot of mixed reviews.

definitely original, it shows that your cocky and don't care what others think.

I think the reason alot of people don't like it is because-probably they are too judgmental of what others would think and are worried. I probably wouldn't do it either.

But kudos to you.

You know what....major kudos for thinkin outside the box.

Personally I think it's really unique and I like it. Just in the few minutes I have looked at the pics, I'm liking it more and more.

Good stuff buddy!
