Yes Lou, they WORK so well, in fact the WORK S13P work better than most wheels out there :)
Great choice, couldn't do much better, what specs did you end up with?

Those blue wheels were like wearing a disco shirt to church, whereas these new rims have a dont-fck-with-me sense of purpose. And really spot-on fitment. Well done, and much better, IMO.

There's a lot of appeal to your car... wonderfully clean back end with ridiculously sexy aftermarket tails, low-profile roof wing after the black roof, subtle black trim under the side sills. Very nice stuff, OP. :NOD:

On the other hand, that silly splitter underneath an IPL front bumper, and all that carbon fiber crap in your interior... ew-w. Jumps the shark, buddy.

Thanks! i appreciate it!

The interior is a work in progress. not sure if i want to keep the carbon wrap stuff yet. i have some ideas of what i wanna do to it. just dunno yet.

lol.. i liked them too. i ALMOST bought a set of Work's in blue but i couldnt do it.. I had my heart set on matte black faces, gloss black barrels, with the gold bolts.

its so weird looking at the car and not noticing the wheels pop like it did

Oh come on. :rolleyes: For that you've got the pearl necklace of real pierce bolts on a multi-piece rim. In gold, for crying out loud. More than enough pop, IMO.

i know i know. its just weird as i have seen the car with blue wheels for over 2 years.

I love the new wheels dont get me wrong. i have wanted a set of Meisters for a LONG time. happy i finally got a set. well worth the wait.

Vizard, didn't mention how much I like that avatar, nice job^^^

Lou, any plans for caliper color? Also we need more pics, you teased us for quite a while and only one pic, c'mon man :)

FWIW I rec'd some vinyl samples for the interior, there's a "dark tamo wood" from metrorestyling.com that has a nice look & texture and a couple from this shop
Wood | EzAuto Wrap
There's a black & dark brown oak texture that looks pretty good, just food for thought.

yeah im on the fence between candy blue and maybe a candy orange for caliper colors. the silver calipers gotta go lol. also need to decide if i want the car to be down for a bit waiting powdercoat or buying a used set and rebuilding them and having them powdercoated.

as for the interior, i was thinking about a dark gray wood grain. thinking about having my buddy hyrdo dip them.

Gold pierce bolts, gold calipers.

All different shades of yellow/gold. Lean in towards Amber.

As for getting dirty... clean them. Should be easy(ish), considering you now have a 5-spoke rim.
