I finally got my powder coated wheels back and I absolutely love how the car looks with these on. It is exactly the look I was going for. I know not everyone likes to change up their cars and take away from stock look, but I could not be happier. Looks stealth like!

I'm diggin it too but as Johnny will attest you now join the "try to keep them clean" club, nothing looks cooler than when they are though in my view anyway.

Thanks everyone. I will just have to make sure and not ever be stationary in the car...moving all times - quickly - will give the illusion of them being clean.

The fingerprints are terrible. that is for sure...

Good minds think alike...I am assuming you have a good mind, cause we have never met... I can tell you right now...I like your car a whole lot and I have never seen it!

I did mine in pewter...

... to match my carbon fiber parts (hood, mirrors and rear spoiler)





I think the darker wheels compliment the car.

Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
