I did up my wheels in bronze, then got some decent summers installed.
Details: dipped the wheels black (they already were, but I touched up the finish) then spray painted bronze/copper about 3 coats. Tires are 225 40 18 Indy 500 that were a pain to get a hold of for my local tire shop.

Summer tires in October? You must live somewhere south.
Looks good!

rears look to have a smaller aspect ratio than the front.
or is that just illusion.
never heard of indy tires, are the made by one of the bigger manufacturers?

Illusion lol. Theres more wheel gap in the back, so that could be the culprit. Unless I got dooped... They’re Firestones. I read a couple very positive reviews. I went locally, but they under 100 a tire on tire rack for my size. Ultra performance, so like tier 3 for street tires... Still the best this car has seen.

Nah, Chicago. I installed winters on my stock wheels back in June. On these Speed wheels I had OK tires, but they got so far shot they needed to be changed. Plus autox next weekend in Indiana!

They’re previous gen wheels that I got for a steal. Woulda been cool to get gen 2 speed3 wheels, but I also didn’t want to look too much like a poser.
