Sexy beast you've got there. I think the only things I'd change are the blue-LED DRLs and the side-skirt stickers.

I had similar DRLs, and they were so damn dim that you couldn't even see them if the headlights were on.

[Coaststarlight]

Why Thanx! the parking light LEDs are white but on long exsposures there appear bluish, im my sig picture they are on, thats how they normally appear, and the Black Mamba Motor Sports decals have dissapeared from the car since these were taken seeing as bmm is now out of bussiness

I really like the LED reflector thingys you have in the back. What ones did you use?

[Coaststarlight]

They are stock reflectors, I cut them open and put in the VatoZone Alpina Led trimable strip lights and re sealed them with silicone

Thanx guys!

[rolanblack]

Yea dude. Pretty sweet set up you have.

[SIXual Panda]

daaaaamn. i REALLY like those rims. they look great.

just curious, but what are you lowered on??

[BobtailedSnail]

I was debating on good Enkei RPF1's. Now after seeing silver on bronze I'm sure gold will look good too.

[Coaststarlight]

Thanx! Yea I'm pretty happy with this set up

I'm lowered on BC Coilovers

@BobtailedSnail I've seen the 6 on gold RPF1s, it looks good, And if gold is to much your could always powdercoat

[drag0nfire]

Wow. Looks awesome! Just curious, what tire size are you using? And did you have to roll fenders?

[Coaststarlight]

Thanx, Fenders are not rolled, but I may have to once I get some decent tires, these are 225/40/18, so there stretched a bit, I did rub just once while taking a corner sideways at Adams Motorsports park, but that whole day it never replicated, cant realy work out how I made it happen just the once since I hit the same corner like 10 times that day

Once I get some new tires I may have to have a mild roll, but we will see

[I<3Groceries]

Wow, can't believe you're not rubbing more in the rear, sitting that low and with that offset. I can guarantee anything >225 will rub though.

Yes I'll be rolling the rears when these tires are done, the fronts too, maybe

[dynamix]

looks good!

[Coaststarlight]

Thanx!!!

[greenespeed]

That whole setup looks awesome.

@Coaststarlight

Your car is an inspiration. So much so that I just ordered a set of bronze DC-5s for my '06 LPM GT.

I spent the better part of the last month scrolling through endless photo threads trying to determine what wheel design and color I wanted for my MS6. I never thought bronze wheels on a silver car would be the way to go but after seeing this thread I couldn't be happier with my decision.

If you don't mind, I've got a couple quick questions:

1. I've never owned a set of wheels with a matte finish, any "matte wheel 101" advice or product recommendations for cleaning and protection?

2. Now that you've had your DC-5s for a couple months are you still satisfied with your purchase?


Dumb questions, I know, but thanks in advance.

Cheers!

Thanx haha, I'm glad you like the set up, I never thought I'd like them as much at first, in the light they turn heads, I still think they can look a bit dark in not so bright lighting but for the most part Im totally happy with them, I think what also adds to the fit and finish of it all is the colored Lugs and brakes, makes it all come together, I've never seen it with the stock Lugs or un-painted brakes

And to answer your questions,


These wheels are so easy to clean, half the time I don't even wipe them, just spray with foaming wheel cleaner, let sit for 5 minutes, and then hot em with the hose and most of the time time that's all you need to do

Totaly still satisfied, what's not to like about a lighter, better looking, wider wheel, also, with a simpler spoke paternal and finish, WAY easier to clean than the stockers

Only cons are: bolt pattern is tight, large wheel lock keys may ether scratch the wheel or not fit

Are these just stock calipers painted blue? What color of blue?

[Coaststarlight]

deleted post

[levon.mark]

I just really like this color of blue

[Coaststarlight]

They are painted with Metal X Metalic Paint, It mimics the looks of Anodized Metal

And thanx! I like them too, lemme see if I can find a closer pic of the Calipers

[KusteLokal]
