The wrap looks amazing!

And yeah the wheels looks too small. Maybe a drop might help.

I think lowering the car is probably going to make it look better with this color combo

Hi Bud. I looked at your post the other day but didn't comment cos I couldn't put my finger on what was troubling me. To be honest I think the wrap is bee-you-ti-ful and I respectfully disagree with others on the colour of your copper wheels cos I think they are ferkin ossam (I definitely would have gone 21" or at least 20" as it's such a ballsy colour and need attitude in size to back them up). Not sure but a drop might help solve this a little. But ... what I'm not a fan of are the gloss black door handles and black fender trim as they smack you in the face and make it too busy. Pearl White door hardware and fender trims would complement the wheels and make the look cleaner. Just my 2 cents. Otherwise congrats.

I was totally pulling inquires on these wheels last year in a 21" cause I thought on jet black it would be sweet! But in the end I went a different direction since it was a new finish and most vendors weren't promoting this type of finish yet. But I think lowering would help but like jet in oz said this is a flashy look at me wheel. I do think u should've went with at least 20" or even better a 21"!

How long did it take you to wrap the whole car? Did you take the panels off? Im assuming you had to take the bumper off right? Any tips?

Took around 5 days just working in the afternoons/evenings. Took the bumpers off, loosened the fenders, removed headlight/taillights, and some other trim pieces.

Best tip I can provide is be patient... but vinyl isn't that bad and is pretty forgiving.

I'm actually fine with my ride height and rim size. It's lowered on H&R sport springs and is low enough given the areas I drive and situations I encounter daily. As for the color combo... it also works for me and I respect all of your opinions but this is for me more than anyone else, just wanted to see what you guys thought. I like being different and I figured this color would allow the wheels to stand out more versus the aluminum blue it was wrapped before. I do agree that it would look better lowered but at this point I don't think it would be wise for me to do so.
