Default Custom painted Advan RZ wheels
Edit: PAGE 3 New pics with the SE Tuned rear canards installed with my rear GFX rear lip. Hope you guys like, I actually like it better than without the GFX rear. will be blacking out the rear lip between the exhaust tips soon. sorry for the crappy pics. Would like to get a couple more further back of the rear straight on.

Wheel/tire specs: Advan RZ wheels 19x9+25 19x10+35 w/5mm spacer.
Hankook ventus v12 225/35/19 245/35/19

I recently took my silver Advan RZ wheels to Wheel Doctor thats located here in Cincinnati OH. I was getting tired of the silver finish and really wanted a contrast with my tungsten pearl IS350. I knew I wanted them done in a shade of dark gunmetal but wasn't sure if I should have them matte or satin. I decided on Satin Dark Anthracite and couldn't be more happy with how they turned out. In these pics you cant see the flake, but they look unreal in the sunlight.
I am sure I could have taken my wheels anywhere to have them painted, but I had a 4 inch curb rash on one wheel, and wheel doctor takes the tire off the rim, acid dips the rim, prime/paint, and bakes the wheel. They even color match the wheel weights after balancing.

Absolutly. I have my BC coilovers on and will be ordering the SE Tuned CF lip kit in a week or so. Just sucks that I still have to wait for spring.

Looks great, fellow Advan RS owner
Approximately how much did that cost you, also what are your wheel specs?

the color looks really good with a hint of gunmetal, just the right shade of darkness
