Trust me, I tried and a guy on ebay had some black powdercoated ones, but he sold them before i could get up with him and ADR discontinued them, so it will either have to be a whole new set or try and get the one really bad one fixed. I really sucks tho cause I love the hell outta those rims man. If I can get it fixed though i'll either paint em black myself or get em powdercoated. Maybe if I kiss my wife's booty enough I can get some of those Konig's with the cf inserts! Cross your fingers for me guys, lol! I tend to stay broke with 2 kids now.

It is Lexus Breakwater Blue Metallic aka not very cheap, lol. I figured that I would get a coor that nobody else has on their Lancer cause we all know there are too many people that have the same body kit and hood.

You are correct. Honestly, I never really liked any of the stock colors and wanted this color to begin with instead of that michigan color monstrosity! lmao

Thanks bro! I'm still trying to convince my wife that it would be a great beater to keep for the kids and let me get an 09 or 10 Ralliart! Cross your fingers on that one too!

Nope, hood is good and I have not gotten a car cover yet. I think it will be good for awhile, The guy put 15!!!! yeah 15 coats of clear on that thing! at no extra cost cause we was cool like that! I still wish I knew how to do auto painting myself though! I want to put more layers of clear on the whole car!

if your still looking for a replacement rim heres a site that sells single rims

http://www.customwheelsdirect.com/wh...l.php?id=38441

i was in the same situation as you. hit a huge pothole and was driving with a mismatched rim for a bit ... i couldn't find just one on ebay any more and if the seller was willing to sell just one they wanted like $200.

I think what would really make a the difference as far as completing the look of the car, is if you Black-out the Headlights.
I dont think the Clear OEM style looks good on any color at all.

Perhaps even paint the Vortex Gen. Black too..

However, aside from that I think it looks great

I would love some blacked out Cedias, but money is tight and I'm saving up for Lasix next year! I'm blind as hell!
