So I thought I'd finally share my new wheel set up with you guys. I pulled my CE28s off and had them powdercoated. However, after stripping them down, this was found by the coaters:
 However, the other 3 wheels had been finished up, so here's a pic of one to show off the finish closely.
It's called Pearlescent White and it looks amazing IMO. Just got my last wheel back from repair today. Awesome work.
 Put on the other 3 wheels in the mean time. Slapped on some 12mm spacers in the rear as well, which meant more fender pulling needed. No biggie! Old school fender pulling technique. Perfect fitment everytime without waves or that flared lip look.
 Finally got my fenders evenly pulled. One side was pulled an extra 9mm, and the other was pulled an extra 4mm. I was also able to even out the pull.
So now my rears sit at a 18x10.5 +6 :)
And now a side shot
 Did some experimenting as well. Got some of this:
Reflective red vinyl striping And put it on. At night, with direct white light on it, it's pretty fluorescent and pops like crazy, as in this pic:
 But honestly, it's not that apparent. Here's a shot of it with and without flash.
Not too flashy. Might run it for a while and see how I feel about it a week from now. At least it's reversible, haha.
Took some video too! Again, this is with a bright white LED light right on it.
Rolling Shot And got some love from SpeedHunters as well :)

Needless to say, a simple color change made a significant difference in the car's appearance, and I'm very happy with how the fitment and finish came out.
I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. I just wanted to share :) Comment away.
