Yeah, once I got in I tried to enjoy myself but by than I was pretty annoyed the fact that it was already 3pm and half the people was already leaving

Reminds me of going to Disneyland on our honeymoon. Space Mountain was brand new and the line was outrageous, extending down to Main Street! We waited 3 hours, got to the part where the line snakes inside and the ride broke. Not knowing how much better they got at repairing the rides (used to could take HOURS) we opted to leave the line and come back later... BAD MOVE! The ride was fixed in something like 10 minutes and those that stayed in line benefited greatly! We came back and waited ANOTHER 2 hours! We learned that day that unless they make us leave the line we will wait until the ride is fixed. Then again, the way Disney has gone downhill I don't feel the need to go there ever again. Kind of like San Fransisco; don't want to go there again.

Thanks for the tire specs, but I was referring to your wheels! The fitment looks good! I now know they're 20" wheels, but what's the width & offset(s)?

Quick question. How do you like the matte finish on your bronze wheels? I am working on refinishing a set of 19"s I picked up and I plan to go with a Black and Bronze combo. I plan to have a gloss finish on the black, but was considering a matte finish on the bronze. Recommendations???

haha thanks! it helps that she's kept in the garage from out of the elements.

so in regards to the matte finish especially on bronze there's so many variations of color. also that's just paint related. there's also machine finish with clear and that has several variations of clear that make it different too! i tried looking for the website but there's literally a dozen variations of bronze. i ended up going Matte Antique Bronze finish with gloss black hardware. so the gloss black hardware really stands out to the matte finish. so mine is painted just to clarify. i felt after spending much research and working with my sponsor that this color and finish is what i wanted in the end. they didn't paint the barrels which i should've done but i did paint them metallic gold in a gloss finish so you can see a different variation of finishes on the wheel!

but in terms of what you're trying to do it depends on the wheel selection too. what wheel do you have in mind?

Basically, I am going with this setup, but I am painting the machined sections bronze. I just got the wheels back home from having them glass blasted at work.

Maybe get them photo shopped with what you have in mind to get an idea on what it would look like
