Default That color skeam is badass
Color looks good 10 pts for uniqueness. Is that a 96? Rims look good.

Looks really good ! And now the work/task begins as slowly but surely those beautiful wheels begin to oxidize & begin to dull.But enjoy for now! You have about 6 months before you'll have to breakout the polishing kit and get down on your knees and by the sweat of your brow labor for that brand new shine. Gimme chrome,gimme chrome, gimme lots & lots a CHROME baby !

The hell with chrome, you chip or scratch it it ruined. I jsut got rid of my chrome rebels because they were like that (bought them used). Id rather be able to have the situation in my own hands rather than have to take it somewhere to be repaired. You can sand down and repolish aluminum any time. O and plenty of time is in these wheels, went down with white rouge with a grinder then finished with a drill then some hand polish. I am much happier with these since the work is doable by me, id rather work hard then pay money Here they are before...



This was the best one as you can see from the picture above, its the one in the top left corner

Ok . So the man likes work. Nothing wrong with that , I guess!
Stay off the curbs & buy good quality chrome wheels would be a better choice for me .

I like the paint job. Slowly starting to dislike the TTs. It seems like everyone is getting them these days. The market has become flooded.
