I think they turned out great! I'm not much on yellow, but I totally respect your opinion on what suits your car. Btw, what grit did you use to sand the Brembos and the wheels? I'm going to be doing mine very soon.

I never said they look bad, I like the look, but to me, painting over your wheel weights is half assed, I'm sorry if you don't agree. You can't expect to put a thread up like this and not get criticism you don't like. I wasn't being mean about it, just stating my opinion.

It's not about being original, it's about doing it right so it doesn't look like **** later.

You own an Evo, not a Honda, please do all us enthusiast a favor, ride your ride with quality workmanship to represent the culture as it is.

i stated earlier that this was just to fool around with before i bought new rims/tires... not everyone has money to blow...

plus i enjoy working on my car, and my work is definately not amateur, being a certified MECP installer for audio and custom fabrications (fiberglass sub boxes, dash trims, etc)

plus dont bash and call my car a honda, diff colors for each rim is "rice"... not a black rim with a yellow lip

Not a fan of the yellow ring on the rims but each to their own. I reckon after the decals go on the Brembos, it'll look mighty awesome.
