Thanks man, ive been following the post on your car. Its inspired me as i didnt want to do anything to this car. But i just couldnt pass up the deal on these wheels. The guy i bought them off paid over a grand on tire rack and less than a month later his wife wrecked the car they were on, got t boned. The wheels were check they are good, he put the tire on his wifes new car. Him and i live less then 10 minutes away so it was almost like i had to buy them. Plus approval from the wife. Guess buying her the ring paid off lol.
I was looking at these for a new family car, love the red tincoat color.
I have likes and dislikes about it. The electronic stability control sucks it wont let you push the car through corners even with the traction control turned off. Its also had almost 2 grand in warrenty work done this past year. As for the color my wife and i love it, but its impossible to keep clean. I have almost 60,000 miles on it now and i would certainly buy another one.

try washing it? no vehicle is impossible to keep clean
It gets washed twice a week, thanks smart ass lol. I run it though the touchless lazer wash as i have a torn rotor cuff. I am getting surgury in a couple weeks, so physically i cant hand wash it. Also any lighter colored paint looks cleaner longer than anything dark colored paint. Thats fact, but hey what ever makes you feel special.

more or less was saying people say such and such color is hard to keep clean. Well no color is hard to keep clean. its just that some show dirty a lot more
My truck is black. shows dirt like crazy. just have to wash it almost every day for it to look best.
wheels look better than stock for sure. they just look WAY better. just never understood setting it down on a wood block.
Agreed thats what i was getting at with the color. The wood block was to give me an idea of how the wheels would look on my car, as im not buying new tires for the wheels until spring, wheels are getting high performance summer tires only. You cant hold them up to the stock wheel and take the picture at them same time. As for washing every day i just want my shoulder fixed so i can do it again. I used to be picky, but after a set of twins boy and girl which are now 4 and a my wife, i have learned there are much more important things in life.
