they do look amazing on your ride, I too have been staring at that pic for a while now, one thing to consider, if you refinish your current wheels you can spend that money on other mods, just trying to play devils advocate

Maybe Santa Claus will stuff them in my stocking for Christmas? Wishful thinking!

So you are THINKING about it huh? LOL. I love your ride Wringo wheels and all.

The Chop I did of Adrians wheels onto you car would be sick! And I think would take your car to that exotic level.
But think about it, those wheels aren't easy to clean. LOL.

Adrian has little Leprechauns that clean his wheels daily, if you got that kind of hook up then go for it. LOL..

Knowing Adrian he probably does! Cpone, you know my hangup is reallly parting way's with my Maya's? I love them so much, I would hate to get rid of them. I could keep them, but I don't know if I could justify buying more wheels to the boss(wife),although she did tell me she think it looks hot!
Here is another photochop Seize did for me at another angle?

Wow D, that last photoshop really hit s homerun. I knew that angle would help more as it really shows the finish more than the straight on shot...

By the way D I know what its like to have a set of wheels you really love and hate to let go of. It was tough for me to let go of the Gettins, tust me when I tell you I went back and forth but it was just time for change after so many years. As for cleaning these wheels its actually much easier with more satisfying results considering my Gettins had non clearcoated hi-polished lips, meaning i had to whip out the metal polish and rub really hard to make my lips shine and yet most times it still wouldn't look "new" some missed spots would drive me crazy with them but it was just really hard to keep them new looking but with these they are chrome lips and a blk chrome face so its just wipe and bam!!!! new looking wheels everytime... I honestly after washing my car would take at least 15min per wheel with the gettins when it was just a quick drive or nothing really imortant but upkeep whereas it would take me about 25-30 min per wheel to make the lips look brand new before a big show or big meet. Now I take at the most 5-7 minutes per wheel and they always look brand new no matter what it was for: a meet, show, or just me pulling it back in the garage for another 2 weeks..LOL..

The car is hot like that in its current state. Kinda VIP-ish with those rims the way they are.
