Super shiny and nice wheels...I should start a go fund me for your centercaps.
Hate how rotors do that too...its BS.
Im part of the "yes centercaps please" crew.
Another day at the office. This OT for this project is taking its toll. Got 3 more weeks of 55hr work weeks.
Compiled a list in no particular order.
-Wheels
-PPF
-Roof Wrapped
-Ktuner
-Suspension (springs, sways, braces)
-BBK?
Then it should be "done"

yah, not just color, the shape of those spokes are kinda.. meh.
got to be very careful with enkei's cause some wheels they make in certain offsets can be very nice in 2D, but mediocre or *barf* in other angles. make sure you get pictures of angled views. they make some of the weirdest angled spokes.
speaking of enkei's i luv the stock mesh 18's on my STI.
they look so nice. i also have a set of Prodrives for the STI with DWS06 for colder months.

Amazing how much a good partner can help! My wife is awesome in that low maintenance willing to get dirty way. Sounds like you have a partner also.
Funny enough our first "date" was at a McDonald's. She was so happy when I offered to buy her a second $.59 cheeseburger.
