here is my latest mods. see my sig for more details. I am NOT planning on keeping the lugs red, I will probably polish them (that is what I was planning), any thoughts there??

there iForged wheels mods are that I used Bat to custom cut overlay for the insert area of the wheels so that the spoke appear more 3d and stick out more, making the wheels and spokes look larger. I was originally thinking of painting them, they thought that I could just do the overlay with less risk. Thoughts??

Oh, ya. I took off the rear splash guards too

looks good, very unique. With the red brakes, the red lugs actually look ok.

the red lugs look good, leave them.

 

Red lugs need to go, I don't think they look bad, but I bet they're not the look you are going for.

I really like the wheels! I thought the old picture make the wheels look to shinny, almost chrome which I wasn't hot about. They look much better now! They have much more depth, I would look into painting them like that permenently.

Why did you remove the rear splash gaurd?

I think your car looks great! It sits well, not too low. And I like the red calipers. You probably showed them to me before but I don't remember seeing them.

 

mc, I am not sure I want to paint them, the vinyl overlay that is on there looks great and it is very durable, it is a metallic anthracite color.

 

Damn I need some blingin rims!!

CS stock + 19"s = all good!!

Looks good rodH!! As far as the red lugs, they look alright but if it were me I would have it polished.

 

I don't understand what you did to your wheel. It looks the same to me

 

Looks Good to me - I'd hang - The car looks good ...


Cheers Amy -

 

if you look closely, the area between the edge of the spokes use to have the same finish and color, thus making the spoked look like the stop sooner/shorter. I had bat make a vinyl overlay out of a metallic anthracite color, and stuck them to that area, now the spokes look longer (show the actual length).
look at #6 pic above and compare it to the pic just below it in my sig, notice how much bigger/longer the spokes/wheels look>??

 

keep the red lugs, dude. whether by accident or not, they look good. just a little bit of color in the right places can compliment, especially on a silver ride. the red lugs with the matching brakes look too sweet. but it's your call.

 

Looks great Rod.

Interesting, of course I see the difference with the overlays. The spokes show the slight curve at the end of the spoke, where it meets the wheel. I wonder the overlays make the wheel appear bigger in person. I like them, to each is own, do they have any polished Ray lug nuts and are they smaller in diameter than stock to allow you to get a lug wrench inside the rims better???

 

Overlays look GREAT. Nice effect to the look of the Rims.


I agree the lugs need to change, but the Overlays look great. I would concider the same thing if I didn't have rivets.

take care.

 

Did you lower your car?
