Great job and the colour does look a whole lot better, I sprayed my wheels a year ago and one thing people need to know is that you need a lot of patience and good masking skills :lol:

It's a factory Renault colour (427), in DeBeer paint, from Autolac. We double-coated with clear-coat (2pack with hardner) after the base coat, with a small go of 1200+ grade sand paper in the middle.

The wheels are 17*7.5 +44


Do you know if most WRX wheels fit the NC??

Also could you post some higher quality pics when you get a chance?

WRX wheels- you might have problems of it rubbing the inside guard/suspension than the outside.

Do you mean 17x7? if so +42 should be okay.

+55 17x8.5 is okay, since stock is +55, going wider doesn't hurt :wink:
