I still have some 15's that I'm going to refinish, I'm pretty happy with the results. I did the painting myself with some elbow grease LoL.
Tell me what you guys think?

Thanks guys, I'm lowered on some SPW coilovers, got them from a friend for cheap and some Kyb g2 Struts. I got a set of 15's that I'm refinishing and it's going to be bronze with a polished center and lip, hope I get some tires soon and than I'll take some more pictures!

they look pretty good, but iunno, maybe if you painted the center bronze as well, it would've looked a bit better, but it kind of looks good with it different as well
