If you don't mind me asking what color wrap is that exactly and what did it cost you to do it? I think that looks very nice

I feel like I'm leaning more toward the C6Z wheels at this point. Anyone running any gunmetal wheels? Keep the pics coming though guys, these are looking great

Finally was able to do a high dynamic range photo! The wrap I have never captures well on camera because if I expose the wheels, the wrap gets overexposed and the color is lost. I bracketed these photos, but forgot to do an HDR originally. THIS is how it really looks to the eye...



versus this photo before..

Very nice, those depo lights are the best out of all of them IMO, I have them as well on mine.

Aside from wraps, I still want to see more people filling in the front license plate area like Norcalzosix's car.

I've got the Invos, too. 18/19 combo with 325s on 11" rims rear. Nice, quiet, and decent, if a little mushy in the corners, but have zero traction in a straight line.
