Murdered Out Rims...Blackness Consumes Me

Instead of going into details my GF who is an English teacher told me to write a Haiku poem about my rims. It is Japanese poetry consisting of three lines with 5-7-5 syllables in each line. After some thought, this is what I came up with.

Blackness consumes me
Spring is but a fading thought
Should I mount these rims??

Hope you like it fellas.

Damn Gollum, those babies look hawwt! You did and awesome job dude! I luv the nismo stickers. They look like factory Nismo rims. Now all you gotta get are some Nismo center caps and you'll be set.

Was it hard painting them? Ran into any snags? I might want to do this with my stock rims for my winter setup.

Nice poem btw... Darth Vader

+1 on the neeshmo look.

There's something about the sticker/nissan center caps that just conflict. I was debating keeping my hamburger centercaps on the A34 19"s, but decided against it. It's less obvious = less potential to get stolen. The overall flow of the wheels are clean though, nice job.

look good and i hate black rims. maybe because they arn't super black...i think the sticker brakes it up well. i assume it's under the clear coat? when will you have these on the car?
