Hawks 17 GTA repaint gunmetal grey

Obviously the first thing you do with brand new wheels is media blast and repaint them. But I wasn't a big fan of the black and liked them matching the bottom of the formula. Falken 512 tires, bmr lowering springs, bmr kmember and a-arms. Adjustable panhard bar. Stock style struts.

I did 255 40 17 for handling more than looks. They are much more silver in person I can't get it to photograph.
