Default Sneak Peek of new wheels

Rays Nismo LMGT4 GT500, very limited production and difficult to locate and fortunately, found a set for myself
I am still waiting to get the special lug nuts and then they will be on the car.


front: 18x8.5 w/ Falken FK452 245/40ZR18
rear: 18x9.5 w/ Falken FK452 275/40ZR18
And one extra 18x8.5 to be my new coffee table

I've considered color matching the door handles and the Z badge as well as smoking the reflectors and reverse/signal lenses but it's already so black that it makes Wesley Snipes look like Michael Jackson.

(tried to blank out the factory wheels in the rear)


And to make it not a completely pointless thread, recent engine shot. Going to be powdercoating the upper plenum manifold and replace the aluminum intake tube with a carbon fiber one.

They look like regular ones, but painted black. Is that so?

Wheels look nice, but I don't think they are as hard to come by as you may think.
Considering I can order a set through select Nissan Dealerships such as Mossy and Courtesy. Though you don't see to many people rolling on them, they are quiet hot though.

I have 20% in front and in hatch.. How dyou like the 5%? I might do it, just because I want it darker overall in the interior. With the dash lit up its so bright inside people can see me from the out.


ps... how much?
