New Shoes for the Claret
 

Last night, Eric and I took a ride over to my new powdercoat outlet, and picked up my wheels. The photos don't do them justice. :D

This is the car they will be going onto:

The quality of the job that was done is absolutely amazing! They have a very mild metallic which only shows up in the daylight mostly. My center caps are on order and they will be done to match in the same color. I am VERY happy with the results and eager to get them onto my car. I will be dropping them off at the tire shop today to have 225/40 18 Toyo Proxes4's mounted and balanced.

Should I ask how much the powder coating cost?;)

We are now taking our business to a different shop. They were quite reasonable, and they were done right. :)

Always trying to upstage me. :p

Re: New Shoes for the Claret
 

Mike, are they done in Enkei gold like the STI rims or just gold? Looks awsome by the way.

Re: New Shoes for the Claret
 

This gold is a bit more goldenrod/yellow than the STi gold.:)

Re: New Shoes for the Claret
 

So, what are you doing with the STi rims and tires?
