Default Hypercoated Wheels Installed with painted calipers!

Hey guys, I finally put my wheels on, and painted my calipers!! Teej - I know you are probably very excited, haha. Anyway, they look great and I love the stance they have - and it will only look better once lowered! The wheels go great with the car in my opinion and I love the finish. The one problem/issue I had was installing the lugs. You need a 13/16 socket to do it, but not all 13/16 sockets fit into the holes on the wheels - so it made for an interesting time making sure I had one that fit and then finding an extension so I could tighten them all the way - but I got it done!! Haha. The caliper color was a little darker than I expected which was awesome, and I think they go well with the car!

The car isn't washed or detailed - because they stripes needed a couple days in the sun to make sure they bonded correctly before waxing. I plan on detailing it tomorrow and having pics in the members rides section when I'm done with that.

But what do you guys think?

+1000 looks sweet, but I could curl up and take a nap above your tires

Your car looks SOOOO much better than before. Now lower it and give it a wash.

Thanks guys! I guess there is no doubt that lowering it is the next thing on my list! And it is getting a nice detail tomorrow for sure! Time to look and decide on lowering springs - I have been thinking Vogtland so far.
