Thumbs up Ye Old Wheel Shop Does It Again!!!

Well you guys remember a few months back firestone fawked all 4 of my rims. Well they promptly wrote me a check after a little bitchin' to the division manager. Check in hand, I now needed to get the car in and out of the shop within a week which is tough to do for YOWS due to how much bizness they normally have. I talked to Dan up there who showed me around the shop and provided some advice on what to do. Also he promised to have my car out in less than a week. Well I picked the car up on Saturday and could not be happier with the job. The rims are sick!!! I hadn't seen stock 07 wheels painted gloss black before but I took the chance and love the way it came out. Here are some pics!

Before:


After:











My thanks goes out to Dan and John and all the guys over at YOWS. They now have one more happy customer!

Yeah thats not really my thing. I'm not much of a wheel or suspension person, I'm just into going fast. I wouldn't have put spacers on stock wheels, so no need to do that just because they are painted.

I think the stock silver looked better with your color car. Looks like they did a good job on the wheels though.

I would love to, but driving around Baltimore streets with a drop= FAIL! lol! My area locks me into stock ride height and I still manage to scrape sometimes.

I think that guy Matt that was at the meet with the other black nismo said something about buying different wheels, maybe he'll sell his? I LOVE those rays wheels though so you're not getting mine!
Seriously though, those black wheels look SO freaking good in person, they're flawless.... SOOOOOOOOO clean.
