the racing hart dont fit with the new big brake kit

SOLD MY 18inch racing hart Crying or Very sad

reason being: cannot fit with my new big brake upgrade. not enough clearance.... lucky the 17in with offset +40 can fit it perfect....

damn... i gotta look for the replacement.... miss my gold rims... Sad

thinking of painting the track rims....

ok... the story is, im gonna be stuck with the 17inch for a while untill i find the right 18 inch wheel to fit my mazda3... my gold C4 doesnt fit anymore since i upgrade to wilwood caliper....

now... thinking of powder coating it... so i guess there is 4 combination that i can choose:
1. all black
2. black with polished lip
3. all white
4. black with thin red line

i like the last option... but i still cant decide... Sad
