Painted Snowflakes (10-Spokes) Yeah, I got tired of the side looking stock and since I cant afford rims/tires (that money is for performance goodys) I decided to take my rims and do them black with a lip. Well here are a couple pics tell me what you think.
Yes....I need to lower it
Yes....They are 16s but im more interested in my turbo kit then rims.

As a general note I think 16s are 16s....and I am NOT a fan of those stock snowflake wheels....BUT, keeping that in mind, and the fact that like you said you're more concered with the turbo kit than the wheels....Id say mission accomplished bro! Not lookin too bad actually.

Yes credit to PSYKOZ28 for the idea and help. As for gains from a turbo v6 there people getting into 500rwhp from single so im lookin more into building a twin setup. But its still in question what kinda setup im gona go for but im lookin to get great numbers. Getting into the mid-low 12s is fine for me all though its proven the motor can handle ALOT more then 500rwhp. After college ill probably still have the 6 but will be getting into an LS2 camaro maybe.
Looks good, didn't realize this was your thread till I noticed your reply. 
Twin turbo'in that bitch, eh? Good luck. 
Are these from your photoshoot today, or no?

Doesnt a big single put out alot more power than a twin set-up...Not tryin to be arrogant or anything....I just thought that was so becuase even the twin-turbo supra guys are switchin to singles...

u can paint them with a rattlecan if u want, should turn out fine.
good luck on the turbo, i could easily see u breakin into 12's it been done before by the v6 guys and isnt that hard, just a lil costly but good luck
