I saw it was on page two so I had to rescue it by going out and buying some new wheels.

17's come out March 1, the 16s come out two weeks earlier... I'll be picking up the 17s. They are called FP01 and they use the same technology as the RFP-1's. This is the only color, and 17s only come in 17x7 with an offset of 38 and 45 i beleive.

I notice you had your rear tail light frame and door handles painted. Nice touchh. I like that. Did you have to remove your door handles to get it painted?

You will have to remove or go the route of wrapping in vinyl on car or use the handle wraps that aesthic creations make.

It's vinyl and yes I had to remove the handles to do it. If I had to do it again I'd just buy a set from Lyle though, they're a royal PITA to wrap.
