Thanks...yea thats why I asked...Toyo left us w/ the 235 R888's as being the only option in 19" which IMO is pretty mismatched w/ a beefy rear. Keep up the good work., looks great so far.

As for the door handles, can't you anodize them to a darker finish? I'd think that would look better than painting..
but everything else bro... SICK SICK SICK SICK..
can you PM me how much did the paint job cost?
Our doors aren't aluminum, we can't anodize them.
Painting is always an option.

wow.. so it's been a lonnnnng time now but we're in the final few weeks! The paint has been reworked twice already and being done AGAIN this week by someone from PPG because the paint shop guy is not satisfied with the finish from his work so far... John Holt @ Holt Wheels in ATL FTW! I'm only paying for one paint job haha... and he's taking care of my car really well. treating it like his baby.
