Nice color wheels.
Does the 7 in the awful flames represent the level of hell the flames originated from, or the number of flames you expected to get from this?

All right, a little background information.

The rims are a temporary solution because i flatspotted my wrx tires and needed an alternative. I hit them with that dark grey spraypaint and clearcoated. The white car looked like a hovering chassis, so i brakeleened off the lip with a shop rag. I hated them initially, but they're growing on me.

The fender got pretty mangled when a motorcyclist decided to t-bone my parked car a few years ago. No insurance payout, and body shops estimated 1800 bucks. The car cost me 1600. I have been slowly teaching myself how to do bodywork since then, and am almost done. The flames are primer that i put on in 15 minutes and will sand off in 2.

The 7 is there because i had a big block of black right there and 7s dont have any PITA curves. 8)

No permanant damage, and im having fun.

here's a daylight shot. Car is dirty and has grease smudges on the rims, but you can see that i've nailed the contour of the rear fender flare. I have some dimpling you can almost make out near the taillight section, which i will have smooth in one more sanding. And as you can see, both taillight and bumper need to be replaced.

Those wheels came on some Touring Wagons too.
Mine, for one.
(and this one that was for sale in Texas)

Scott, that flaming 7 is pretty damn funny... For like a month or so...
Any longer might be leaning towards being a bit "Geto-Billy".

Flames are gone. I might stick something else there eventually.

Any suggestions?

Matching white paint and lack of flames will make it look great.

Thats what they are ;)

I hated them at first, but they're kinda growing on me.
