That's me.



I got those wheels a few years ago. The car they were on has been gone since early this year and I had them on there almost the entire time I owned it. They were professionally painted, by well known shop. I searched high and low for wheels that came with a red lip but could not find a single set that was a 17" 4x100. No one made them then but now is a different story. (I did find one or two pairs in 18" or in the wrong bolt pattern but they were not cheap and very few and far between).

I totally agree that painting your stock wheels to copy aftermarket wheels is pretty stupid... especially some half assed spray paint job. I wouldn't put anything on my car that didn't look professional. If you want new wheels, save some money and get some.

Also, I believe in looking at more than just the wheels, look at the whole car. Time attack wheels look like crap on some cars because the style doesn't fit or the color looks awful with red. Like the blue a few posts up.... EW... nice car, nice wheels, but the two do not look right together. You don't have to get something trendy just to be trendy... get what fits your car.

My time attack wheels have been retired. I like to have things that are a little different and it was time for a change. I got tons of compliments on them though. We may see them a lot more often in the car community, but most people on the street rarely see wheels like that.

"Time attack" editions of Volk and Work wheels didn't come out until 2007 (pre-sale in 2006). The Mugen RNR had them years before when the "time attack" wasn't even known outside of the event in Japan. I'm positive


As for people doing it themselves, the red could be easily done with automotive pinstriping yet nobody ever thinks about doing it that way
