Those rims are hot! I bet you'll shave 5 seeconds off your 1/4 mile time with those. Paint looks nice, light years better than the white with silver flames 
. Hopefully those tails will get changed as well...but it looks great so far! What color blue is it?

Its a Tri-Coat.... what a *****. and not cheap to boot.

Price? $120ish a quart (to the average joe.... I cant even say what I paid)..... 5 quarts base, 4 quarts mids, 2 Gallons Clear....... Done by a buddy.... who is almost not a buddy anymore..... Room-mate is going to finish. Still have to paint the bottom 1/2 of the rockers and the door moldings (the bump guard things) the same color as my wheels, and then color match mirrors, door handles, etc.
Took factory 2k1 17's and painted them the same color as the Volk's.... that Gunmetal Bronze. We'll see how that looks.

eee....
the blue doesn't look that bad but if it was me, i would of chosen like a darker, metalic blue kinda. i dunno about the bronze wheels w/ a blue max but hope it ends up lookin good.
