X2 for that, looks like a lambo orange almost.

It's just HoK Tangelo. Pretty generic "I'm gonna paint my car orange" Orange.

Look into the ACTUAL Lamborghini Orange. It's got pearl in it and looks amazing. You can find it in the PPG Paints catalog. HoK Tangelo is really kinda the go-to for orange paint.

Then save up and do it right the first time! You're going to spend $1800 on the bullitts with tires, or ~$4000 for CCW's with tires. If you go to a good local wheel shop and pay cash and avoid taxes, you could probably get the CCWs for ~$3500 and get them in 19x9 and 19x11, you will still have an incredibly smooth car because you'll be able to put a 40 sidewall tire on there, and IMHO, 19s look the very best on our cars. My setup costs $2600 online with taxes and shipping and all that BS. I went to my wheel place that me and my family have been going to for years, talked to them, and got that same setup for $1800, mounted and balanced on the car.

This man speaks some logic. If you're doing a full rotisserie repaint, you'd seriously be selling your car short by putting Bullitt wheels on it. Nothing against Bullitt wheels, lots of people love them, but let's face it...they've been done. A lot. If you're going for a fully customized look, putting retro style wheels is counterproductive.

Thanks Kris, you seem to be a connoisseur of the finer things in life, if this guy is going to go through and do the whole nine yards overhaul, he needs to do it all. If the car is going to be all show no go, you gotta make it look so good that someone like me wouldn't want to race you for fear of you crashing you're immaculate car

Yeah, it's important to balance things. It's just like guys that do widebody kits and then don't spring for the wider wheels.

Don't aim for the middle! A well-balanced car is always good, and wheels can make or break a car. Not saying the wheels have to cost eleventy billion dollars. They just need to work well with the theme of the car.

BTW, awesome photos of your car. Jon's a member of another board I post at, he did a great job on your pics.

If you get the chance to take more pictures of the hood I'd be real interested in the veiw from inside the car as well as any shots of the underside.
