Theres nothing wrong with change.... they look good.. I say as long and your not F'up your wheels at all, then you could change the color of them every month if you wish..

Just out of curiousity do you know how to fix curb rash on wheels? I've seen videos of people doing it and I'd be interested in trying to make my wheels look a little better.

I've heard of people using files. Wouldn't that just eat away at the wheel and make a dip in that area. When I did mine I used buildable primer to fill the rash in then sanded it down. Worked really well if you ask me.

Would you be willing to maybe help me? I'm getting new wheels soon but I want my winter set to not look like shit when I put them on. I'd be incredibly grateful.

Yea buildable primer is the way to go...i didn't get real fancy, just wanted to see how bronze wheels would look with the grey for when i buy a set of wheels.

I really like it! Gives it a Evo/Sti kinda look...? I might go with gold wheels instead of bronze tho...idk?
