i'm going to get a set of these in the near future

18x7.5 5zigen FN01R-C

 

[derrick1623]

the es is a four lug?

that is a purdy rim regardless

 

[Matthew]

sweet you should go with 17s though to save you money, and lower the gap in your wheel well...they will look nice either way though!

cool, great job, really professional. Are you going to eventually do the rest of the pieces white as well?

thanks man, i'm trying to decide what i want to paint next, if anything. if i do, it will probably be the center dash trim around the radio. peace

 

[Togan]

one word "fantastic"

 

[p5sundevil]

yah i was thnking of doing that with the same color as my car, I dont know how it would look though and not sure if I would need to do other pieces to make it lok like it fits in....Ill decide soon though. Thx for the rundown on how u did it, looks perfect.

thanks again and good luck if you decide to do it. it's fairly easy to do, you just need something to occupy your time while the paint is drying.

but white color will show dirt very quickly so u gotta wipe it frequently
