Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thanks, I wanted to keep the factory wheels but make them a little unique from the stock look
Yes, slightly darker!
Thanks! That's what I initially wanted, but they're so expensive and also from what I've read on these forums I'd need either spacers or to shave the bumper to make them fit... too much work for me and though not quite the same look I figured this was a lot easier (but I still LOVE the F sport wheels)...
Sure! I'll follow up and post this

[QUOTE=Lexie350;7140032]Hi again everyone!
Got the wheels done this week and wanted to follow up to post some "before" and "after" pics. The photos are from my camera phone so they're not the best quality/a little shaky.
Anyway, I ended up getting black center caps (thanks Jeff! ) which I think go pretty well with the gunmetal/liquid graphite color. The guys who repaired the curb rash and repainted the wheels did a great job and used what they referred to as a "hypersilver" similar to the ISF wheels instead of a more standard gunmetal finish. The guys mentioned that they've redone/touched up ISF wheels in the past and used the same paint mix for these -- not sure it's exact (it's my understanding that it's almost impossible to match), but looks close enough for me!
Let me know what you think!
Before Front Side
After Front Side
Please please get a 20 millimeter spacer for the back. I got it on mine. I hate the way the rear wheels sink in and the rear bumper is sticking out such a eye sore at certain angles
