That's true, but fortunately for him, the six-spoke design means that he can easily get his hands in there and clean them. My 10-spokes are knuckle busters.

I love the look of the 6ix rims, painted or otherwise.

[edit] As Newt easily pointed out below, I'm an idiot. LOL

Yeah, I wish mine was white or red. If it were red I would have to contend with a brown dash and wood trim or did they come in black/gray? White/Gray is tops!

Too low for me, but still beautiful.

Thank you. I was a fool In not thinking there are multiple shades of white so gonna take the wheels to a paint shop and match the color soon.

I agree completely Rochester, it is too low. The guys didn't take into account the springs settling so the front was actually 3/4 of an inch lower in this pic. Ride height shows 25 1/4 inches. It's 26 now and will be 26.25 or so before today is over.

You're going to repaint the powdercoated sections in Moonlight White?

That's impressive. Gotta respect that kind of effort.

I'm not doing anything. I'm gonna pay someone who knows what they're doing to do it. Unless it's a bad idea? Can you not paint over powdercoat? Are you telling me I'll have to save my pennies to get the car wrapped matte white?

IracknBack I gotta say you probably own my all time favorite looking MW G sedan for sure! I can't stop looking at how beautiful it is!

Try taking another picture when it's done bc I'd love to have it as my new computer background at work!

Also my personal opinion, if you did decide to wrap, is NOT to go with matte white. I'd HIGHLY recommend a satin white vinyl wrap. Soooooooo much nicer than matte.

Thanks Kenny. That means a ton coming from you. Seriously.

As for wrapping, even if I had an extra $3k right now to blow on this car it wouldn't be on a wrap so it will be awhile. I'll look st satin white though if it becomes possible.

Here is one more pic. The idiot alignment shop all of a sudden can't do it so I have to raise it back up at least an inch until they get new heads in a couple weeks. Until then here is one more pic.

You'll love it even more at 26.25", I was dumped to 25.75" and it was too stressful having to worry about everything that I used to take for granted.
You really did a lot in a short time, you should post a build thread while you're on a roll!
