Talking NEW SHOES! (CAR Shoes, Not Shoes, shoes)

YUP! I am picking them up tomorrow after work!!!!

Wheels: Falken Koblenz 18x8
Tires: Hankook Radial K106 22540r18 w/90% tread left.

CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Threw one of them on today to make sure it fit right and here is what it looks like:





They do have some minor curb rash but i think i can clean them up a bit.

BTW, my S4 wheels are going up for sale!

I am kind of thinking about powdercoating them black... idk for sure yet...

But the shiny does match my shiny mirrors so idk... i think it looks sick!

I wouldn't go full on powder coat black either though... I like the bolts popping and the contrast of the gray and polished. Maybe if JUST the shiny bits were black? I wonder if I can photoshop the idea I have...

Just a very quick and dirty concept... what do you think?
