Are those the stock wheels painted white? What is that chrome ring around the wheel? Where did you purchase them and cost please? I think the wheels look pretty good if they are stock. Looks like a cheap improvement.

Cant go wrong with rings and steelies, thats what i do for now except mine are still black. White on white is too much for my tastes, but never the less looks good. Interior is alright, personally like it stock better but whatever you like man. Congrats.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Constructive criticism is excellent for getting the car the way I want it.
I personally think it looks pretty nice compared to the stock wheel covers. I didnt do much preping besides cleaning them and sanding them with 400 grit sandpaper. I used Krylon outdoor paint and thats about it. The Beauty rings I ordered from http://www.jaeeagle.com/product_info...products_id=72 ........Thanks for the Link Zach.

Hehheheee......thanks for the Link the the trim rings man.....I was hoping to that the Sudy dude group buy on +25mm offset wheels would go through sooner so I didnt have to paint these but I guess it is going to take long than I thought so I guess this is the next best thing. .........I might get some OTG shims next.

Zach is a good guy, i bought mine through jaeeagle as well, some pretty decent quality rings for the price.
