and the dunlop supersports, which were very interesting to drive around these past few weeks,
were replaced with nokian hakkapelitas.

So…

this is the second winter for these tires,
fourth and most badass winter for the wheels.

I think this is the first time I’ve liked the black sideskirts on my car…
and the stock wheels, which were once beatuplookingsilversadlittlethings… are soooo beautiful.

now all he needs is a good wash.

There is something wrong… You are not in any of those photos…

:tup: looks awesome!

just dab a little black paint on those exterior-mounted balancing weights…

why don’t you lay off for a bit

hey matt, mod, buddy. why don’t you take it easy for a while and lay off it for just a bit? it’s christmas. appreciate the artistry.

I always figured you were down with the black, Jan. :stuck_out_tongue:

Looks sharp. :tup:

looking good :tup:

You need to relax… Maybe I should have added the “;)” sign so you would know I was just kidding around… :beer2:

Those are insanely nice… :tup:

Now what does a job like that go for? I don’t want the same color, just don’t like the color combo, but would be interested in this for my winter wheels after the snow melts.

:tup: nice winter styles and Hakks are sweeet

Okay now time for us to go shopping again! I’ll buy you the $18 toilet brush!

this is waaay OT but when are we all going sledding??

p.s. the wheels look good!

I like the style of the rims alot better then what you had stock, but IMO the black just doesnt work in this case. But its your car so if you like it then :tup: :smiley:

I agree. Black wheels are not my thing.

Good to see you’re doing stuff with the car, as long as you like it, that’s all that matters.

looks good, i like it :tup:

yesss… thanks. but I don’t really understand what you mean. those black wheels are my stock wheels…??

and anyway. my goal wasn’t to have it “work”…it doesn’t have to “work” because they’re my winter wheels. it’s an extra bonus that they turned out to be so pretty, but really…my winter tires go on them. they’ll get salty and dirty. it’s fantastic.

who panted them for you? i want to get my winter wheels black for a black on black effect haha

:tup:

cant wait to see it in person.

i believe they were powdercoated by josh (lafengas)
