My First Mod-New Wheels

Just got new wheels and tires from Eli at Wheel Dynamics. They are custom painted Carrara White and I had new tpms sensors installed. Took a chance on the white but I like it, don't see it very often. Very impressed with Eli and his shop, good prices, professional, and nice. Up next, exhaust.

Looks good, I had black wheels on my black car, after a while I wanted a little contrast to the monochromatic look and went with silver monolytes.

Wheels look GREAT as is, or you can add a pre made black pinstripe that Suncoast has.

Thanks!
My friend who has a fab shop is going to make me a custom exhaust.
Hopefully we'll end up with something good. We will dyno before and after.

Yeah, I'm just finding out now how much of a pain it is to keep them clean!
Brake dust shows within a day! I still have my stock wheels so when i get sick of cleaning wheels I can go back to those!

Yeah, I was not sure either but wanted something a little different without being too far out there.

Car looks great with those wheels!

Between my Porsches and BMWs I was cleaning wheels non-stop! You should consider trying that Armor All Wheel Protectant....No kidding..That stuff is awesome! Clean wheels very good and dry them good...then spray this aerosol on them and get all spots....it allows nothing..including brake dust to stick to them...they will look clean for at least a month, and then usually rinse clean.

I have no affiliation with this product...just thought it may help with your wheels...

Here are some links to videos...you can get it anywhere they sell cleaning products, or auto parts stores.

Love the wheels! Exact car color...looks amazing.

I had the same experience with Wheel Dynamics and Eli. Top shelf service all the way. I was concerned about the offset in the front not being enough; Eli assured me it would be perfect. He was right, perfect. See mine below in Hyper Silver...

TheRock beat me to the Armor All suggestion. I can verify that it does work very well. definately worth the cost.
