Default first isf with....red wheels?!

Haters are welcome to bring the hate, but knowing this part of CL, there usually isn't any unless someone puts on 24's on the F. LOL. But I decided to do something unique, and i love it.. I'm doing a proper photoshoot tomorrow in downtown Los Angeles or Long Beach but in the meantime ...

Well, you definitely succeeded in creating one of a kind F wheels. Where did you get the wheels done?

The red really looks good. Whoever powdercoated them did a clean job. It reminds me of the Vossen shoot in Puerto Rico with the F, red wheels, and red F emblems. How are the 255s up front? Any rubbing or fender work? Looking forward to the photoshoot.

I didn't put the center caps back on cause its bright silver and it ruins the look of the wheel, i need something dark or need to powdercoat the center caps.. no center caps for now..

yeah! the left side only goes up to 50% so I can't go up to 100% brightness on both.. not really happy, but I can't complain for the price I got them haha.

I love it, it grips really well, I got part of my fender liner cut, and I don't rub anymore, probably cause I used to rub so much everything got demolished..

Since they look more maroon than red I think it works well with your smokey granite

Is his car Black or NGP can't really tell from the pic. Red wheels look awesome my only problem is it looks like the calipers are a different color red which bugs me in that pic. Can't wait to see better pics though!
