These pics were taken with his camera phone so they are not the greatest quality but the point gets across. He wanted to go all glossy black on the wheels and for the calipers there are NISSAN labels on them so I had to tape them off so they would still pop! Overall, I think they came out really well but if I ever do this again then everything will need to sit over night to assure complete drying:goodjob:

For green to not be a color liked by myself on sport cars, I think this really helped make it look more apart of the race/import scene and helps the car look more agressive and that's what he was going for!

looks good! hope it dried all though, cuz having paint on the wheels that streaks outward on his way home would suck...

^ They are magnesium, and they bend/crack really easy.

Not a big fan of black painted wheels but the calipers are a huge improvement, the before pictures looked quite nasty. :goodjob:

hhahaha Jesse your such a queer :D

Yeah man I think black would be sick with your setup and you should try and get a hold of some gold s2000 caliper stickers to set on them:goodjob:

Check with Tony about the stickers if you think that would be Hawt and hit me up when ready for the calipers and b/f Christmas can only help me :cheers:
