De uglifed my Konig Kolors
Here are them before. These are not the 100% best reprentation of them, as like almost all paint, they must be seen in person, but they are highlighter orange (not construction barell orange) and they kinda look like the factory was really lite on the paint, because it looks slightly washed out.
After I sprayed them. I used the Duplicolor wheel paint. Since my car will be white with a CF hood, decided to keep the panda look and go with black
Now the orignal wheels have the "Konig Racing" on one side and " Kolors Ultralite" on the other side in stickers. So I thought it would be cool to keep the name of the wheel by keeping the stickers on and peeling them off once the paint was dried. Here is how it turned out...
And a close up
I peeled them off very carefully using an exacto knife and a set of forceps/tweezers. I decided to take them off before the paint harded 100%. The paint was hard enough to touch, but was still kinda soft. I figured this would protect from chipping and taking off paint that was not on the sticker.
And finally, here are 3.5 wheels painted. I only bought 2 cans, and I ran out on the last wheel. I had already painted the inside part. Oh well. I bought the last can from the murrays I normally go to so I will have to go to a diffrent one tommrow.
There are a few spots where they need a little more paint so I will touch those up tommrow as well.

Green? From what I hear, it is more of a neon highlighter yellow then anything else unless I am mistaken and they make other colors since I bought mine. I saw that they were going to offer a graphite later. That wouldn't look bad from the factory.

yep exactly. They are a 15x7 inch wheel and they were 280 shipped. thats a hell of alot cheaper then slipstreams in 15x7 and the actual look of the wheel is much better IMO aswell. Just the OEM color needs a change. They are slightly heavier then the slips at 14.5 lbs but with the tires I have on there right now (hankook 212's), they are still one pound lighter then my circuit 8's with Azenis on them

Black is much better...good idea with the sticker too. Those are the Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212....How do you like them? I'm getting new wheels soon and these are the tires I've got in mind. I'm currently on Kumho MX.

Yep those are the Ventus R-S2 z212. I like them. They defently do grip just as well as azenies and handle standing water better to boot, however, the only complaint I would have with them is the side wall is a little on the squishy side. Oh well. So far for side walls rigidity Potenza So3's>Azenies>Hankooks z212's
