Got 'em done today. These pics do the rims absolutely no justice. They nice in pics, but they look gorgeous in person. My God do they look beautiful.

After:

 

omg.. your car looks SO much better with those on! great job!

 

nice color.... I just love them...... looks pretty GOOD

 

Looks awesome, far better than the older 5th gen 17's. Makes me consider having my silver stockies refinished TE style.

 

Hmmm... ... I guess I'm the only one who can't view em then....

EDIT: Nevermind... now I see em... and they look great... match your car nicely...

Thanks... looks good...

 

Looks nice. Good job.

 

Thanks. =)

 

nice! Now, you should draw a smiley face on the blank center caps to finish it off.......seriously though, looks good.

 

Hmm...are the pics showing?

 

yeah the rims color matches your car perfect 100% very nice, ive seen those in motion they look great@!!!

 

looks good...did the center caps come in today? They told me they would be there by friday.

 

Rims look great!... I dunno about the bumper guards though!

 

Yep! Thanks.

 

Ok, good...I was hoping that they made it

 

They were in perfect shape too.

 

so what are TE rims going for these days?

 

you can Buy em Now on ebay for $479 brand new. they have em on there. all the time.

as for the owners car.
Hey your max looks good with those wheels, but was it serious enough to go from 00-01SE wheels to 03TE wheels? i think the real drastic improvement will be when you take those gawd aweful things off your bumpers. it looks so Hokey.

 

God awful? Hokey? While I do not care for the way they look:

1) I don't have a single chip on my front or back bumpers thanks to these "aweful" things (you are full of awe, eh). The front bumper was replaced about a year ago. And the rear bumper was repainted the same time. It's been a year...and these things have kept my car looking great.

2) You have NO idea how many PMs I get every week from people asking me where to buy them. They all think the guards look really nice.

3) Serious enough? Uhh...did you look at the before pic? My stock rims just looked so frigin dull it hurts. And what does it matter? I sold the stockers for $450~ and bought these for a little over ~500. I basically traded the stockers in for the TEs.

 

nice wheels bro, although, i gott a bust your chops aobu ttheo bumper guard thingies, when are they coming off? j/k

also did you get them re-finished or the perseon you bought it from did that? i wonder if i could do my Z-rims

 

They came silver polished from the company. But I am going to apply a clear coat myself just incase, tho.
