Nice looks good! Im rocking the same 17" stockers right now, waiting for all the sand on the streets to be cleaned from winter before putting on my precious meisters. I agree the 17's are ugly as sh*t. Id be worried about how long that paint would last.

Wow, really like that color. May choose to do this on my stock 18s. Even though the only stock wheels I really like are the forged ones.

Looks pretty nice... Spacers would definitely help out the look as you save for a real set of wheels.

storm grey? is that that a paint just out of the duplicolor line or is it one of the duplicolor actual wheel paints?
