Default Pics of my new wheels.

Decide to get some lighter wheels in 18's, so I sold my 19's to another member here.(Marques) I know it looked better before, but these are a little lighter and allow me to run a DR all the time in the rear. Here are a few pics. I have thick skin so tell me what you think. I like them It is also rainy so the new ones are all dirty and nasty pics. I want to get the windows tinted too, that should make the car look better.

Got the caps at home, but I think the rear caps need modding to fit over the center or somethin. May go with just some all black center caps with no logo on them. Definitely needa put somethin on though.

Fitment is good. I bought it from Jim at Carbon LTD.

These are Rota p45r's, and I was weary as to what theyd look like against the PPW, but I like em.

that's not halfway bad looking.


Though I think it'd look 100x better without the 4 finger gaps all around.

Not sure if I'm feeling the black spoiler with the white body though. I'd probably color match it, unless you're planning on getting a cf lip kit all around.

Kind of changed themes a little, so unsure about future exterior mods. I might mess with some ideas on a CF hood but painted, or faded to white. been droppin so much on the engine and other **** lately. I do want some CF b pillars though. I also think the CF body kit looks cool.

In my opinion the old wheels look better, however the new ones don't look bad. Also not feeling the wing but it's all about personal preference.

looks great, you should get some CF side mirrors for the exterior to tie it all together

I think the wheels look just fine, the spoiler would look much better with the base painted in white... a truly personal opinion though... to each his/her own!

thanks for the opinions. My main reason for switching wheels was for the rotational mass savings and so I could run sticky tires all the time on the street. It's like a night and day difference with traction. I will toy with some ideas in the near future to pull it all together, but i am satisfied with them for now.
