Default Finally got my FM10s on my WS6

Picked up some FM10s back in December. They were originally satin finish, but the clear coat was coming off so I got them powdercoated Black Chrome (his version of gunmetal) which I think looks awesome. Finally got them on the car earlier this week and put Bilsteins and a Prokit on it as well. I'll get better pics once it gets nicer out, I was just glad to get everything on.

Bad *** wheels , but get rid of those sumitomos for some quality tires and it'll improve the look as well!

Thanks everyone. Ya, I know I need get the calipers powdercoated, that'll prob be a project next winter and I also know I need to get rid of the Sumitomo's. They came with my old wheels and I'm just reusing them until they're junk.

Oh, and everyone I'm not a 'man', I'm a girl.

Congrats, but just not feeling it at all.


I had voted for all polished.

Heater hose mod the rear! Looks like the rear sits much higher. Looks great though, nice choice of color/combo.

I didn't want the maintenance of the full polish with the 10 spokes, the 5 spokes were enough to keep clean, but I do think the full polish would have looked better. Lol. and I've already done the heater hose mod. The car did settle a little bit after I drove it so it's a little lower now.

Be careful of the rears sagging over time as well... known problem with the pro kit. It usually takes some time though.

Not sure why people stress the matinence thing, as long as you wash them once a week, I haven't had a problem with mine, as long as you don't get them wet, then leave them to fry in the sun.

Those look great Jamie. I have a set that's virtually identical sitting at home.
