Trash into treasure

So this is a little ol story of a young man who learned a great lesson when it came to mods. So my name is Ethan I have a 2016 SO M4 and I started wanting to get a set of wheels. I wasn't too sure but I originally wanted VMR. Then I realized maybe something more expensive and nicer and so I went to Vossen and then my brother told me to save a bit more and get multipiece wheels and that's exactly what I did. I ended up going with Forgestar M14s and waited the 8-10 week process for them to get finished and all nice and clean. Well I picked a very very odd color combo because I have a vision in my head and so let me just say, this had to be the worst color combo I have ever done in my life. My first set of wheels were a complete disaster and just absolutely unmotivated me because I'm young and a full time student so saving for wheels worth 3K were extremely hard and time consuming. I tried selling them, but the combo just wouldn't look right on most colors. But then I figured you have to make best of the situation and so I took the wheels apart, got them powdercoated and here is the end result. I am completely happy with how they look and I love them. My first ever big mod purchase was definitely the most painful one haha. Lesson learned!

Big difference man. Now they look nice. Good for you for choosing to go that route instead of taking a big loss and selling them. Lesson for next mod. More research lol
