oh yeah, one more thing: i got to see my rims in motion for the first time a few weeks ago (this gorgeous blond chick back in FL wanted to borrow it to go to the Jiffy store, and i apparently have a weakness for gorgeous blond girls, because she very quickly became the only other person to ever drive my car...anyway...), and they look awesome...the black powdercoating is still visible, and it matches the car perfectly, but the spokes and the lip still bling...i don't think i've seen a rim on any black car that looks this good, in motion or sitting still...just my $.02 (again)...

DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...so i'm on my way to work this morning and i notice the car's handling a little funny, and about 30 seconds later my back right tire $hits out on me...it already had a can of Fix-A-Flat in it, but now an entire 2-inch long section of the inside wall just blew out...so now i'm rocking the good ol' 15" steelie with the chrome lug nuts and valve stem cover ...but that's not all bad, 'cause now i get to get new rims!!!...so i hit a local rim shop and saw the Motegis in the pic below, and i think they look pretty tight...they're 19"s, (my ADRs are 18"s), but they look HUGE...anyway, let me know what you think...thanks!

they're Motegi FF7s...glossy black, with a polished aluminum lip that has just enough bling to stand out...the picture doesn't do 'em any justice...i stuck one up next to the car and they're gorgeous...

you know i thought that was just me...my clearcoat was a little screwy to after a run through the quickie wash (trust i'm never doing that again), i figured i'd just get some wheel clearcoat and take my time with it. of course mine only chipped on one of the center caps. this might just be something with all the coatings on ADR. something to watch out for i guess, but the deals and styles are great.
