Thanks for the replies!, I wasnt so sure about the wheels thats why i plasti-dipped them to see how it looks, idk if maybe sandblasting them or another finish would look better OR just leave them the way they were originally.

Itīs nice to see you try things out to see how they look.. Itīs expensive modding your car, and you just have to wait and see how things turn out, I admire that so keep trying different things! One tip: go for 20" wheels and you canīt go wrong no matter what color or type you put on there... :-)
