Well another season is over with my car. As always i need to do something new for next year. I will not be getting new wheels for next year, just staying with the failmax unless i find some insane bargain. I was thinking of changing up the wheel color though. Vote for the poll.

Picture of my car from this weekend

I like the black chrome cause its not as stark as gloss black.

Like the OEM E46 M3 wheels. Its a hyper gunmetal color.

I think the E46 gunmetal would look better on it. Off topic but is the kit painted or just primer white?

I was planning on buying a pearl white sc400 and running it on black chrome wheels but I ran into a better conditioned spruce sc300. I think you should run on black chrome wheels.

My car has the kit painted. I just a pain in the ***** to perfectly match diamond white pearl. The shop did a ****ty job matching it. Its only noticable in certain lighting settings

The camaro was also on bags... kinda odd to me

I personally like chrome on white. JMO. The white on white doesnt look bad, but why does our opinions matter? Its your car, and do what you like! :-) How come no ones like chrome anymore? Am I one of the few that still likes all chrome?

Id kinda like to see your car keep the white/white combo but add a time attack style pin stripe around the edge of the lip
