Default FA5 update....

Well for those of u who know me.... know how much I HATE!!!!! the stock wheels on the SI's they look like friggin flowers, WTF! hahahahahahahah cough haha cough... **clears throat** So i made them a way that I could at least stand till money flows in for suspension and new wheels and I already have the wheels set out, hopefully soon they will be on the ride.....


anyways... came up with an idea and PS'ed it and then made it happen...

and here was the out come...

Oh wait... first off, remember that i do luv the color green

And here's my bay bay

I was going to do something similar with my TE37's on my Midori hatch, only color matched green rings.

The color clashes too much with silver, looks out of place to me.

Not a big fan of the painting OEM wheels as well, however, whatever floats your boat and it came out pretty good.

Matching the color of the car with the lip of a dark wheel almost always looks good.

True. I love your FN01R's!

I was thinking maybe a Gunmetal wheel, but I don't know. It's too hard to keep up on my current color.

They look really good. I love the contrast with the tints, and they don't look like steelies like most black painted wheels.
