Not bad...
I'm used to seeing STIs rock that combination around my neck of the woods.

I've heard that it's not such a great idea to powder coat the BBS rims because they're forged and the high heat from the powdercoat process messes with the structural integrity, can anybody confirm this? I've wanted to powdercoat mine for the longest time and have been holding off because of that rumor. The OP's look awesome, nice job man

how do you think 99.9% come from the factory? lol but the negative of having paint work done, is it takes more time than the sand blasting process most powder coaters use, also the paint process is different and more expensive.

I haven't had a problem with them yet but I only have them on for the summer anyway. If it is true then I guess I'll just find out the hard way but from what I heard powder coating is stronger and can withstand the heat from the brakes. I'll let you know if I have any problems.

i want your wheels. seriously, those are the wheels i want in the exact color. i actually contacted bonehead performance about some powdercoating and glad to see they do good work. only prob is i cant afford to have my wheels off the car (ie no car) for a week or more like the said. how long did it take you? and btw if you ever decide to sell the wheels, PM me, you got a buyer. bump for sick wheels
