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.





And one more...



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.

Gold really looks awesome on the claret. The wheels look very nice. Congrats!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

Re: New Shoes for the Claret

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

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.

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