crazy indeed - will ruin classic look.
but, well, it will be different. i just do not like dark rims on silver cars. for a black car - yes, charcoal would be great, but for silver - nah...

V35,

Thanks for sharing your sickness – it makes those of us with the same issues feel better about our mod problems . It's always fun to see what you come up with next...

Awesome pics Aaron, thanks for sharing! I can't decide on a favorite look, each set of wheels you chose looks incredible! On a different note, how do you like the new seats you dropped in? I have been contemplating my options seat wise, curious what you thoughts were after the install. PM me when you have a minute, thanks!

I was going to do all gloss black TE37's right before my current set, but these new Works are too nice to start experimenting again.

Well if it isn't the bartender that the alcoholic comes to for a fix I'm coming back soon to get some more.

nice choices though...whats set lasted the longest?
Looks like the 1st set lasted the longest probably because I was afraid to switch them out for fear that I would never be satisfied after that. I was right. But these last set of wheels might be it, I really like how the car looks now, as they say (or not) the 10th times a charm!

Ah yes, I've been a wheel ***** as well. I average about a set a year. The Classics only lasted about 3 months for me. Where are the monoblocks?? You've got to change up that look from the mesh 3 piece wheels!
Cool to see the change to the aero kit and center exit exhaust part way through! Although I did like the addition of the front lip - looks like the ROTtec Carbon piece.

I've always been into wheels with lips, but I definitely had to shake off the mesh 3 piece look haha. The front lip was an original Cargraphic lip that ROTtec made a replica of. Although if ROTtec had one back then I would have opted for it as the original Cargraphic was double the cost.
