I have very bad experiences with wheels and so yeah. I don't think i'll be getting rims anytime soon. If I find wheels that are such a great deal then maybe I'll slap them on for the summer for a little bit. however, i'm not a big person on aftermarket rims. Too many bad experiences.

please post pics when you do get that done. I'm planning to get the whole kit cf and also the cf trunk with cf spoiler and I want to paint it with the same fade that the hood has. i just have no idea how it's gonna look like. hopefully it'll look as good as the hood.

I'm thinking you should smoke it so you can't see the CF till you are up close or do a light fade of your color so that you can see the weave when you are up close. I guess you can play around with a few ideas. I think its photoshop time.
