Due to unfortunate circumstances I was rear ended a few days back and pushed into the car in front of me. The damages appear cosmetic only, except the trunk lid now sits 3mm higher. Everyone is OK, but my F got the worst of it.

I hope everyone is OK. This is what scares me about spending a pile of money on mine. Some genius will be texting, not driving, and my car gets totaled because the book value is less than the cost of repair.

Those look great. What are the specs on those if you don't mind me asking? I just got some Enkei's as place holders until I can figure out which forged wheel I want and the specs to have them built at.

I'm not totally sure as the person I bought them from did not know the offsets. They are a 9.5 front and a 10.5 rear, so from my experience the front should be about a +40 and the rear should be about a +45.

I did the same thing to my OEM wheels. Painted gloss black. They hide brake dust nicely and when they're clean they really look good. Since I got the later model wheels, I've been using them for all season tires in the Atlanta winter time. I got tired of front end chatter below 40F on summer tires.

Did you paint the lugs as well, or did you buy black lug nuts? I've debated this ever since painting my wheels black.
