Default They are IN ! and ON !

picked em up from JRP this evening and put em on right away.

Now .. I am still kinda debating on the gold since I was planning on going GTS in Black .. but waynes look sold me.

So hence i went GTV gold. I know drop is needed, but overall opinions welcome.

these are some first glance pics from my phone.

I think the black GTS would have looked better. Still looks ok though.

I am thinking the exact same thing. I was not sure whether I should get gold or black rims, but felt the black and chrome lip is totally played out with replicas everywhere. THe gold stands out more, and is more unique for the time being.

But as time passes I might end up trading or getting an aggressive pair of black rims. Don't know.

But the gold does look good!

Yeah and the fact that GTV's are the best rim ever made doesn't hurt either.

thx guys .. I feel a lot better with my choice now that I have all your approvals LOL.

I gotta was the car not that the rims arent the only things clean and I'll snap some better pics.

For tires I went with the Bridgestone RE050A Pole Positions - thx Derek for the push.

I went with the 245 / 35 and 275 / 35 combo .. next time I will prob go 285 in the rear for a little more meat, but all in all . i love the semi stretch look
