3rd gens w/ stock wheels.
yeah, I was just thinking in the future (as most of us do w/ our cars). That one way I could save some cash, that I could live with, would be just keep the stock 3rd gen wheels but powdercoat them black and polish the lip.
So Im looking to see some 3rd gens that have been modded pretty well and dropped also w/ stock wheels (dont have to be painted, but that will work great too).
Anyways. Thanks alot. =)

Yesterday a friend of mine photoshoped my stocker to various colors... Look:


STOCK:




WHITE:




GUNMETAL:




BLACK/BRONZE




DARK BRONZE





Well, I'll probably go with black_bronze option and some spacers. I think it will look great.

The lip isn't polished, and the center isn't powdercoated (painted), but you should get the idea.

Not my "everyday" wheels, but they are doing ok for now as track wheels. I'll be looking to change them out next year.

Thanks! My bars for the Shark Mod are now black, so they won't stand out quite as much.

Yea, but the problem is that the aren't very strong (for tracking purpose). Many people have cracked them on the track. I'll be looking for something stronger next year regardless of the weight.
