I love your ride as-is ASTIG, but similar wheel colors matched with a white car like yours seems to be the trend nowadays. I will critique it once I see pics of the full package on the car.

close...blue. BOLD indeed. My wife isnt happy with me. Maybe when she sees it on she'll appreciate it.

I need to adjust coils for a more aggressive stance. I went with 235's in the rear and 225's upfront. Gonna put maybe 5mm spacers in the rear to bring them out some.

NICE! I always wanted a white G to have green wheels. If no one was going to do it, I knew I would have to eventually :) but you've taken that load off my hands now so it's all good haha. I still wanna do orange though...

DOPE ASTIG, DOPE!!!

I almost wished I painted my car white when I did it so I could swap back and forth some crazy color wheels.

I used rustoleum "grabber green". It's a high temp engine paint. then added a wheel clearcoat. I probably should have used a dark primer instead of white to get closer to "takata green". I almost went with a lime green color too.

I think for darker colored cars, orange would be nice. Although with white cars, you got more options.

I'll take a picture of them today under natural lighting conditions/outdoords.
