Sorry but those are hideous. Maybe ok for track use. But there's a reason they're cheap. The center circle around the hub is so meaty it detracts from the intended "open" split design.

These would look good on a f150.

No, these will cost more than $1,200 per wheel. If you'd like more information on pricing send me a private message and I'll be more than happy to help.

If you really want your paint to be perfect you’ll almost certainly need to have it paint corrected. Take a look at
and you’ll see how bad the paint actually is from the factory.

I had my new GTS go directly to Status Detail from the dealership after it arrived for paint correction, PPF, and ceramic. Not cheap but worth every penny. Evan at Status is unbelievably knowledgeable, the education you’ll get from talking to him on its own is worth the price of admission.

Agree. I just had Evan paint correct, PPF, and ceramic my GTS.

When I picked up my GTS, he also had a GT3T and GT3RS in his garage.

I've been talking back and forth with Evan since placing the order for my C2S. I love his work and attention to detail but I've had bad experiences with hand cut PPF in the past. How do the seams and transitions look, where two body panels meet for instance? I'm a little hesitant to ship the car that far for PPF anyway, but If he'd buy a plotter I'd probably take the chance.

Wow, he's good. Some good tips about wheel cleaning. I use some of those products, but want to look into the HydrO2 he's using. Can that be applied over wheels that are already ceramic coated for extra or boosting purposes?

This is the first time I’ve used Evan. Previously all my film and detailing was done at Chicago Auto Pros who are also excellent. One reason why I decided to try Evan is his attention to detail and his use of STEK which I wanted to try.

You’re correct he doesn’t use a plotter and he and his installer Paul hand cut film. They also do not remove headlights. The hand cuts are very precise. Overall I am very happy. Happy to take some pics and PM to you if you wish.

Probably better to spend the money on a good installer locally rather than spend it on shipping. Just my opinion and in no way a reflection of any installers involved. This Evan person seems excellent.

I will say that when I picked up my GTS, he also had a PTS GT3T from TN and a GT3RS from TX in his garage/shop.

Here’s a pic from Evan. My IGM GTS is in background. PTS red GT3T and GT3 RS in foreground.

I texted your question to Evan, here is his reply. The guy is amazing, anyone looking for top notch service should consider him as a serious option. Whether that’s for product knowledge and buying from his store, or actual detail work on your car.
