I started a thread a few weeks back about trying to powdercoat my 124's bronze. I started down that road, only to find out that one was bent beyond repair.
I contemplated purchasing a replacement and then continuing with the vision, but in the end it was just going to cost too much, for something that I wasn't sure how it would turn out.
So my search for some new 18" wheels began. Not an easy task. I needed 18's, since these all-season tires were brand new in October, and my end goal was to use my 124's as a winter set up, with 20's in the future.
Well I contacted Michael (myfootsmells), and basically bugged the crap out of him with all my questions and the flip-flopping on my decisions.
In the end I went with the VMR VB3's 18x8.5/9.5 et20/22 Matte Black.
Just had everything finished up installed last night, the weather has been crappy, so here are my "dirty pics"
I also got my MTech kit and Matte grill installed.
