i personally like em alot, i think its really unique, and retains a good yet a bit flashy stock appearance. Notice his car on the outside is stock for the most part, so i think thats the perfect compliment for you very very nice fb. And yeah, i loved your article in rxtuner, i was just bummed the big two page of your car was ripped when i got mine!!!

Here they are ...yes the rolla has a 12A in it...
Of..i forgot
First i had them sandblasted to remove the oem clearcoat....you can remove it with brake fluid but its messy..
Then you may want to use 400wet then maybe 600wet so once you get to the 1000+ grit you have a better surface finish.
Wheels look great but with pics they dont always show its full worth..

I want to go to Rotorfest, however, I'm scheduled to train soldiers from the Army National Guard at Ft. Drum NY during that time.

If I can arrange to have a friend (someone I trust) trailer my ride to Rotorfest, it will be there.

I think it looks slick!
And you keep your semi-sleeper appearance too.

none.... I asked the same question before I had them chrome.
During the process ( cleaning, striping, sanding and grinding ) some weight... not much, comes off.... that same coat gets back on when chromed.
