IMO gloss black... Cosmetic wise I would say lose the front plate or get the tow hook one. but other than that the car is perfect.

Same dilema as me.... I can't decide what finish to get my wheels.... Initially I was going to go matte.... but then I saw satin.... and then Gloss started looking even better. I say go gloss, then let me see what it looks like.

looks nice. i personally like the blue and white emblems better than black/white or any other type.
as for wheels, i would buy an aftermarket set and not deal with powder coating and using the proper methods etc... that could potentially weaken the wheel. |

Ryan you need a drop. I wouldn't powdercoat the stock wheels. If think you should get a Vorsteiner trunk. If interested, PM me. I have an AW Vorsteiner trunk for sale in 1x1 carbon with the dovetail exposed.

IMO do nothing to the wheels. I think the 19s will look really crappy powdercoated. The only wheels I can see look good powdercoated are the stock 18s.

Don't bother with powdercoating the wheels. Use that money and get some lowering springs and spacers. Go with the 12/15mm spacers and with RD sport springs. It will look much nicer than the stock wheels in black. If youre really in love with the stockers, i'd just powdercoat them semigloss. PM me if you're interested in powdercoating them.

I would do nothing to the 19" wheels, leave them stock.
If forced to chose one of the 3 choices, it would be glossy.
