Painted wheels, calipers and some beautiful spacers

I just got my curbed wheels fixed up and I changed the color to a gunmetal and painted the calipers a monterey blue pearl. Also added some super sweet custom made spacers. Thanks Kenny for the spacers! If you guys ever need a decently priced cust9m made spacers, hit him up!!

Let me know what you guys think! I apologize for the ****ty cell phone pics and I know I need a drop, it's on my list for future mods.

Everything on your car came out AMAZING man! Those spacers are looking perfectly flush as well! I can't wait to see the final product after the drop brother!

For those curious he has...

25mm in the rear
20mm in the front

Thanks for the shoutout as well

Nice job on the wheels & brakes, did you do the painting?
That gunmetal really is a great combo on white.

Beautiful color selection! Just a suggestion, but adding another blue tidbit would unify the motif. Burnt exhaust tips, engine bay, or even a decal?

I know a guy who makes them hand made and they come out amazing. He's been doing them for over 15+ years. I've actually gotten a few sets to different members here on the forum and every single person has loved them without a single complaint so far.

It's a cheaper alternative to the other namebrand spacers out there. I don't make any money on them I simply do it to be helpful and hookup my fellow G community but after helping so many people maybe I should've asked for a commission from him lolol.

Thanks man, well I am thinking of doing AAM titanium short tails. I have the engine bay on the list as well. Decals would look super cool but have no clue what I would do as a design. Maybe I'll try speaking to couple designers and see what they can do. I wish I could do all those right away but money is always an issue haha

That looks clean man. And love the color choice.
Did you powder coat your calipers or just DIY paint?

Were you able to put the spacers on wth keeping the original lug bolts or did you have to put longer ones on? I'm looking to put spacers on my IPL but didn't know how big I could go on stock lug bolts. Yours looks great btw!

Very nice job- thx for sharing. Like the blue calipers
I noticed that your calipers seem to have white letters, and would appreciate if you can share how you did that- was that some stickers, ???
thx
