Gauges by MINIMAX

I am getting a set of these.
http://www.minimax-design.net/
I do not car the it is in KM/H because it also has MPH. What I really like about next to the fact that it has the ability to choose different color faces, glow in the dark, the back lights are different colors, the tach is broke down to small increments and the add a nice touch interior. They are a little expensive though like a lot expensive.

Ya they are rather expensive but man they are super sweet. Non of this plain old lame white. It would really spice up the interior.

Thought I'd add this here in case anyone wants a translated version. $420 though. Wow.

Hey random question,

What brand/size of 5 spoke rims are those on your car? I'm looking to get some new 5-spoke wheels in black. Thanks.

NEVERMIND, read your sig too fast, they are the first thing listed!, SORRY

No problem. I will say if you like them plan on refinishing them. The clear over the black parts of the spokes will start to chip off after a few months - year.

I love 'em, as far as fitment and design, but theyre heavy and have since been plastidipped to fix the chipping issue. After winter they probably will not be making thier way back on, if my bank account has anything nice to say about it.

Ya the gauges are overlays but have a part that is able to change the color in the back between, amber, blue, and white. A little pricey but, I am thinking build quality might be better and sorry to say the whole checker and union jack is so played out. It just screams lame now.

Those are cool gauges, a little pricey as stated, but your interior is where you spend your time driving, and if you are constantly looking at your gauge than its a worthy investment I think. And it would spice up the interior as you said
