I wish my parents would pay for my mods

those rims are good as they are, just get them powder coated to black. also, i have seen a turbo with both black plastic painted which is below the mirrors and they really dont match the car but then again its a matter of taste.

What rims do you have?? I thought you had the 545R's?? I love the 845's and I am thinking about them, my only issue is I like the way the polished bolts look on a black rim...
Evan
PS-Thanks for opinion guys, this is a harder decision then I thought, but someone made a good point I could always swap wheels with my stepmom if I ever needed them...Only problem is she HATES black rims, so she would not be happy about the switch...

I like the black in either HRE or Techart....Think how much easier they will be to clean, rather, you won't need to clean them as often. The "yellow jacket" look for the car is killr...

I am not a big fan of black wheels - I much prefer the highly polished ones.

But I would go for the new 845R's in high polish - much cleaner!

I am almost positive that I will go with the black wheels on my car. Yours looks great with black. I am working on the Killer Bee look as well

Yes I do have the 545R... ^_____^... the exact spec you're looking for. I love my rims, but I also like the way 845R looks... b/c it's slimmer... I might use 845R (18 instead though) with black painted center in the future...

If you like the polished bolts, then go ahead and get them...
"Just Do It"....hehehehehe....

Sell those rims to the step mom at retail. When dad lifts the "Buyer hold" put some black centered cargraphics on there and you're set..

I am not a fan of multispoke rims (hence the 5 spoke...). I want another thin spoke wheel... I am thinking either 545R's or 845R's right now, black with chrome lip (no more polishing ). I do not have to sell the wheels or wait for buyer hold....if I give them to her, my dad will buy a new set... Well car will be here in 3 months, so I have to order soon knowing HRE
Still thinking...
Evan

CAUTION VERY BAD PHOTOSHOP JOB:
Hey guys, TRIED to take the HRE 845R's off their website...turn them black with not much success, but here is the best I could do....

I am thinking I like the 845R's, black painted center with CHROME lip (not dealing with the polishing **** if I do it again...)
