Thanks guys! The wheels came with the car since it is the Track model. I know everyone says this but they look a lot better in person, they look just like the Nismo Ray's in person (which is the look I was going for). I just took a trip down to auto zone and got some VHT gun metal grey wheel paint and some regular Rustoleum primer and clear coat and sprayed away. It was a good way of getting rid of the modbug for a little while and not spending a couple grand on new wheels lol. Thanks again everyone! Next step...exhaust!

Good choice in color! They will look very nice in bronze.

Default New wheel color

thought I would try something different, think it turned out great. it should hold me over until spring and a proper set of wheels.

Nice brakes. How do you like the stopping power of those brembos?

Knew i would get flamed for the brake covers, but i saw them on a B.M.W. at the track and thought they didn,t look to bad. so i gave them a shot, better looking than just the paint so they will stay for now. really do like the new wheel color and may just get the O.E.M's powder coated.
Cheers,

Well that guy's a dumbass if he thinks its a good idea to blanket his blistering hot brakes with caliper covers on the track. Do you really want to follow in his footsteps?

The brake insulation by the covers will really help with stopping power and pad longevity, think I should order some too
