A friend of mine spray painted his SE wheels gunmetal...they look very good. Powder coating would have been the way to go officially but it wasnt like you could really tell.
That guy in the ebay auction has a roll bar...wtf? I mean he doesnt look like a serious road racer...the front lip is alright...but a bit extreme...I can see him leaving that on the first parking bump he mis-calc's. LOL
