Default Intense Blue FTW

Had some AME TM-02's cross my path and I couldn't say no...one had some curb rash, so while they were being refinished I decided to have them powder coated something crazy...so here they are

I thought about changing the caliper color, but not to match the wheels...they would just get lost

I still have my other set of wheels, so it is hard to have a show off set of wheels and a more subtle daily set and have everything match...for now I am still happy with the red

Well, these tires are brand new...but if you want to know the secret, it is to max your camber out as negative as possible, so only 10% of the tire actually touches the road...lol

Yeah nice color choice, it looks good, I bet even better in person! It's a little weird not to see your car without the 5:Axis wheels though hahahah. Did you sell your them or do you have them still?
