Overall I am really happy with how they look, I wouldn't say i like them better than my enkeis but its nice to have a change. Let me know what you think... A look at my old rims (Enkei CDR9) I think I need some new tires... And here are the painted stockers on the car... And just for a little before and after comparison here is a pic from a shoot I did with my buddies RX-8... 99 contour se debadged "knauberized" fog light mod 17" Enkei CDR9 225/45/17 Contiextremecontacts Alpine CDA-9807 and 2 12" Kicker Comp C12 subwoofers http://members.cardomain.com/ridered81

What prep work was involved? i just used duplicolor metallic silver and graphite with a clear coat. the screws on the centercap were painted with metallic silver model paint. prep work wasnt too bad i sanded the original paint then primer, sand, then two coats of each color and clear coat. hopefully they wont chip. 99 contour se debadged "knauberized" fog light mod 17" Enkei CDR9 225/45/17 Contiextremecontacts Alpine CDA-9807 and 2 12" Kicker Comp C12 subwoofers http://members.cardomain.com/ridered81
