gimme $1650. :D

I'm broke...this ended up costing a lot more than I initially anticipated. I'm looking at Enkei RPF1 17x8 front and 17x9.5 rear, but unless my truck sells there's no way that's happening this year.

nice, Josh. It looks really good. (though I still say you should have gone with black.) :p

original manufacturer wheels are fine in my book (on any car, unless the originals are absolutely eye-ball destroyingly terrible)

there's no need to bling things for the sake of bling

but 15lb wheels with 265-series rear tires are helpful to put 300+rwhp to the ground. :awesome:

You really like the orangey coppery browny colors, don't you? Or maybe you just had 27 gallons of the stuff lying around.

Looks pretty good, though.

Looks really fantastic, JLee, I like it.

I think black:

or a darker, richer red:

Would have been better IMO :D

Black looks lame and red is standard 'HEY LOOK AT ME I DRIVE A SPORTS CAR.'

At least orange is somewhat unique :colbert:

The sort of copper is better than both of those, but I still don't like it.

:ninja:
nope.

Should have painted it white. White cars rock!

I agree. But they require a good tinting.

CM you should do paint jobs for a living. Those colors look pretty rad.

If only painting cars were as easy as adjusting hue/tint and levels in Photoshop!

True but it doesn't affect how it looks. Something being overused never makes it bad.

This orange looks different in different light - I'll have to take some pictures in good sunlight. It's an awesome color and photos do not do it justice.

Red and black MR2s are way too common...I don't think I have ever seen one this color, and I love it.
woot!
