I've gotta say....

If they were a little closer to the pink on the STi sticker and less purply/fluorescent I might like it more.

but way to be different.

the pinks are SLIGHTLY off but its reasonably close... either way i like how they turned out.

They look closer in that photo on this screen.

Did you paint the wheel?

i painted all the wheels myself last night/today... basecoat of metallic silver, then 2 coats of fluorescent pink then 3 coats of clear.

I like the different look, definitely. And you did a great job on that, props man.

Hey, it's not for everyone, but if it makes you happy
