^^^Those look really good.

 

installed pics now!!! i really like how those are painted.. it's definitely different than anything i've seen on stock rims.

 

After seeing all the pics i thought i should try it on my stock rims. Specially since winter is comming up. Heres my pic. Sorry took the pics of my camera phone so qualaty not that good. I choose Bronze for my silverstone Z,

They actually look alot brighter than they look. will try to put a better pic soon.

 

Great thread, the more i look at this the more i want to keep my 03 rays. The only reason i would want to change it is cuz i want wider wheels.

 

^^^ Pretty much what I've been thinking. Those OEM Touring 17s are just too narrow.

 

or rotas?


Still looks unique tho, would like to see them on a car.

 

Best I can do at work. More pics when I have a chance on the weekend

 

time for spacers now...

 

Well instead of saving up for some volks i think im gonna keep my wheels. I already put in 25mm/30mm spacers on and it looks GREAT lol. With the money i save i can get the front end repainted and get all the damn door dings out. Great thread!

 

YES, i think the oem 17s are ugly, but they look even worse when seen from behind the car. It's sooo narrow, kinda like bicycle wheels lol. Even the 03 oem rays look narrow to me, i guess ima go with 235/40 front, 265/35 rear for my next tires to make it look wider than it is. Some of the 17s ive seen on here look pretty good tho.

 

what size are your rims? nice setup

 

Here's my current project, they'll get done one day...rattled. Debating on whether to sand down the RAYS/FORGED lettering and polish it...thoughts?

 

^ Def try to post a pic up once installed. I too have a track brickyard n im curious as to how those would look on my car.

 

heavier coats should make it gloss better. just don't overdo it to where it runs.

 

Will do.

How they are pictured is actually the look I'm trying to achieve. Never been a fan of glossy black wheels, but to each his own I suppose. It's a black metallic color which helps to give it depth, but still keeps it satin.

 

you stock rim guys make me laugh! haha

 

^Im glad we can brighten up your day lol

 

 

on the ches. bay bridge-tunnel

 

stock 17's lol
