Default New Wheels... AGAIN. LOL

Well I bought a set of new grey centered TT2s, I waasn't a fan of the grey centers with the pewter so I decided to paint them myself. I could have done a better job, but I'm pretty damn impatient when it comes to things like this. I need to touch up a few spots along the lip, but overall I'm more than happy with them for the $15 that I spent on supplies. They aren't up to par with Fikses I had, but they look almost as good, for a fraction of the price . Got her waxed/cleaned up today. Let me know what you think.

Aah, you need to. Maybe paint them to match your rear panel? If you had the black CETA like my car, with the black centers, it would look ridiculous . I think they'd look bad *** on a silver car.

I agree, not that I think the car looks bad, it doesn't, but he's right.

Yeah, not worrying about it. I don't see that many people with TT2s in real life, only on here. I guess I could be 'different' and get some random wheel, but different is not always better. I like TT2s. TT2s and FM5s are my favorite wheels, so I'm happy with them .

Just waiting to get my headers installed. We are hoping that it is just the headers and then a re-tune.
