Default Pics of my new Wheels/Rims!
I got these in addition to my DPEs, while I send my DPE's back to the Cali to have their barrels changed to more aggressive offsets w/more lip. I picked up these up from a local vortexer and absolutely LOVE them. I never thought I could like a plain jane single piece silver wheel so much, but I love the low offset for a non custom wheel, and I love the inset/concave face. It makes them look really aggressive IMO. I just can't wait to pick up some 15mm spacers for the rear, and I'll be done.

Definitly not as ballin' as my DPE's, but they are a nice contrast and a lot easier to maintain.

Default Thanks Andrew! Altho I need to find a way to better adhere it.
When you had it, did you epoxy it to the paint of bumper or did you sand to the plastic and epoxy to the exposed plastic?

Default used 3M window-weld. glued it to the exisiting bumper plastic >>
that's what it said to do on the original instructions. but others have had luck with double-sided tape.

I'm keeping both, &amp; I see both POVs, but on the whole I like the DPEs more, more aggressive.

Default The DPE's blend in much better with your car's color.
The new ones really, really, really stand out due to the contrast. Don't get me wrong, the new wheels are nice. I just like the older ones better.
