Hey guys, I found some wheels on eBay for very cheap and I think they look awesome. I PS'ed them onto my car (along with clear corners, blackout trim, lowered and tint). Tell me what you all think about a future transformation into:
They WOULD be nice if I hadn't gone and scrubbed the hell out of both the rears. This was when I had low profile tires on which were level with the edge of the rims. I've got larger tires on now that the wheels have been messed up.
I've read up on a DIY wheel-scratch repair but I really would never have the time to perform it. Oh well, thanks for the comments so far guys!

I prefer your car as it is now...just do the tint.
I love your wheels, and I think the little orange sides stand out well on the black.
Ditto...
Its unfortunate about your wheels, but I, too, like the simple 5-spoke style, (no rivets, cuts, recesses, etc.) and you'd be suprised how the tint will transform your car. Nothing too dark, like a 25-35% on all 7 winders. Don't mix and match shades, these cars as well as most 4-doors, look better when you keep the same shade all the way around. It just looks WAY more classy/professional. Good luck with your decision.
