Default Finally got my wheels back

After a long week of my car sitting on blocks, I finally got my Stern Beast wheels back from the powder coater. Was it a good decision, just asking personal opinions, I think they look good, but that is imo.

Better imo. But I'm not a fan of the color matching lip. I think all black would of been better.

Fawk me, MY EYES!

The $hit offset and 4x4 Baja edition suspension isnt helping your cause. Id total that car based on looks alone if I could.

All you are missing are the glow in the dark 'Z' side emblems and the stick on chrome fender vents.

Ummm... I just started this game, what missing side markers are you saying, and I am currently looking for some coilovers, and I don't know what spacers to use.

im sure it looked better on bricks.

other than the wheels its a nice car

what you shouldve done? not powdercoated the wheels and sold those things to buy stock 06+ wheels

lesson learned. hard. god dam boy. god dam.

Ya know, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I like them, there are some people that like them and some that don't.

Oh, I can't lower it that much cause I live in the country, and they don't know how to make roads.

Sorry, but I'm not a fan.

It is your car. That's all that matters.

went in the wrong direction.
should've kept the polished lip and done the spokes in a brillant silver or metallic gray - then should've sold them asap and get better wheels.

bet the car looked better on blocks

I just wanted to know people opinions. I'm not upset if you don't like them. Obviously some people do, and some that don't. So there for if you don't you don't. No hard feelings I like them so I thought I would share... Simple and easy.
