Originally posted by DGOT20s Ham, good luck man, those wheels are very nice and plain!! IMO 5,6,7 spoke and mesh wheels are the only designs that stand the test of time! They will always look nice, however, how many people will want the design with the swirls and all that stuff after a while (reason I'm scrambling to sell my wheels!)
Yes, I agree they are very nice and plain!. However the problem with mesh wheels is that unless they are clear coated - it would be a nightmare to keep them looking clean and I wash my car once a week only, so that would be a problem as I can just imagine having black dust coated wheels half the time I drive the car. That is why I will stick to a 5 or 6 spoke design wheel that is clear coated.

Lexus brake pads generate very little brake dust, and my clearcoat centers on my front (mesh) rims do not look dirty. They certainly would not if I cleaned my car once a week (and I don't)!

Thanks for that feedback Paul!
Now, I am having second thoughts about the 5 spoke design I prefer..........................
I think if I find a used set like yours, I will buy them. I just can't afford HRE's or even iForged's brand new. I cannot justify the financial expense right now.
1st mod of June - upgraded my fogs to 6000K HID's - can you say blinding?
I know this may not be considered a mod by some of us on this board, however it is not necessarily a "functional" mod, but rather more of a "cosmetic" mod. I don't know if anyone else has done this mod yet. Anyway, I just upgraded my fogs to 6000K HID's.
congrats man my hid yellow fogs should be coming tonight too

I remember playing around with that same idea last year Rominl.. Should look pretty cool YELLOW HID's..
Hameed,
You know you're gonna blind me driving down the 403 now.. HEHE.. Looks really nice!!
Now upgrade your HID bulbs to 6000K for your driving lights and you should be done..
