Not my favorite either, but I had no choice in color. I'm considering painting them charcoal (or something else similar to GG) like my stock BBS's. They're strictly for racing, so I am not too worried about the looks, though.

I can't copy my boy Nils, but I have actually PM'd him for some info on how he got it done, because I am considering going with charcoal like I said.

I got a question, why did you go with 18" rims if you're not going to install a big brake kit? Unless of course thats your next upgrade

Only way to fit tires that big, and the brakes are so big already that it required huge spacers to even fit the 18s. No plans on changing the calipers - they're plenty good for the power I have. I just needed 18s in order to get a low enough profile tire (285/30-18) to fit without changing my fenders.

Not for things I have no experience with, why? Do you know how to roll fenders properly, corner balance properly, and set camber/toe exactly within spec all while keeping the ride height perfect? I sure don't - most people don't even have this equipment. This was the mechanical engineering department at Colorado State University - world class equipment in there for designing race cars from the suspension geometry to the carbon fiber body panels. They do it all right there, so I went to get it all done right. These guy are who Paul Gerrard works with to design/tune/calibrate these suspension packages.
