Dezau looks good...+25 worked out pretty good for you it seems. I will however disagree with you about the deep concave. My rears look delicious. I'm with DanOMite a little bit, even though I am a late comer to the Work party. Look at the wheels I USED to have though. I would not like to see the CR Kai's go the way of the Enkei RPF1...but at the current price point that shouldn't happen anytime soon. deep concave, semi concave, flat, no matter what cr-kai = sex |
Ok so I painted my wheel centers because they were absolutely horrid. The rust was killing me. Obviously I have more to do but it looks better. I need some suggestions on what to do with the calipers. The rotors were painted by the Mazda dealer in the beginning of the year based off of the TSB. I am planning on getting new rotors but I might do something with them until then. The rust you see around the painted centers are the dust I didn't clean off.
So...what color should I get the calipers painted??? http://filebox.vt.edu/users/anrobin4/Paint1.jpg http://filebox.vt.edu/users/anrobin4/Paint2.jpg http://filebox.vt.edu/users/anrobin4/Paint3.jpg http://filebox.vt.edu/users/anrobin4/Paint4.jpg |
^Blue might look good, But I have a feeling alot of people won't like it.
So your other options are silver, and black. |
universal bolt pattern FTL. i hate when wheel companies do that. looks good otherwise.

it looks really nice SilverHokie! i vote for black calipers and some RacingBrake rotors too!
but i still don't really get how the stickers work, just cut them out in the shape and just stick them on? |

Personally doesn't bother me, if you see them in person the size makes it clear that they aren't lug holes. CE28n's, RE30's, the entire Work Emotion series, etc all have holes

Well, Silver was my first choice but Blue sounds interesting. I don't think it would be bad at all...I just didn't want my car to start to have a theme.

The blue idea is starting to grow on me...I'll try to mock up something on Photoshop. I'll take it to a shop and get it done for hopefully not that much. I know there are kits but I won't have have my house with a garage for another 2 weeks! Can't wait! My car is always parked on the street....BOO. |

I knew that lugs couldn't go through him, but I believe Nuke just doesn't like the holes...I don't even notice them.

I say keep the calipers dark, painted calipers remind me too much of the rice movement or trying to look like something aftermarket. Maybe a subtle dark blue, if anything. This is all IMO though... |
woot, i slapped my stickers on yesterday, pics up later

I was just commenting to Nuke, he initially thought they were for a different lug patter...

Just added clear corners...soon my springs will be here and I think my car will look ridiculous. Good stuff.

^Wheel cleaners wont peel the stickers off, but depending on the content, it could damage the finish of the wheel.

i've used simple green when it gets really bad and it has worked well. but using regular car wash soap is probably the best way to go. and no power washing with the decals......
