Hondata Jailbreak Tour was a great time here in Phoenix a few weeks back, but let’s really talk about wheels. It’s really hard to find a good match for Boost Blue, but I can hardly stomach the thought of trying to keep these stock wheels clean much longer. A total nightmare with the black.

Boost Blue thrives under bright or high-gloss colored wheels. So think white, bright silvers, hyper gunmetals, polished wheels etc. Hell if you're bold enough BBP can actually look good against red wheels like TE37s or CE28s. The color has to pop or else it tends to get outshined by the color of the car, especially since BBP tends to have a lot of variation under various lighting conditions.

Personally, I'd avoid satin/matte finishes also avoid black, bronze and deep/dark gunmetals.

. I just can’t deal with the whole “pay me now and we’ll send the part whenever we feel like it” thing—it could be months or even years! Still, I really like the look of those red wheels.

Yep - that's my least favorite angle! Show too much front overhang. Adding a chin splitter makes it look even worse.Some angles really make the car look entirely different.

Beautiful garage regardless. I always wanted to do something similar on mine. I have the lighting, but the floor can’t decide on what to do
like getting a damn exhaust!

Thank you! Haha there are definite downsides for sure. It needs to be cleaned more often than I'd like and also doesn't work as well with floor jacks. I usually put a rubber mat over so I don't damage the tiles when I lift cars with the floor jack.Beautiful garage regardless. I always wanted to do something similar on mine.
