OOOO I have always loved those wheels, just wish they made a more agressive offset. Nice pics.

I just got the same camera. Can you manually set the ISO speed instead of just setting it to "auto" or "high".

What other adjustments did you make when you took those pictures?

By the way, the 2nd to last one looks amazing!

I like your use of lighting here. It's very dramatic.

ISO isn't going to give you the look you want, it only affects the exposure time, but increases noise when you have it on high ISO. My suggestion is to get a tripod, and set the iso to the lowest setting, and adjust the shutter time. You get to it by turning on the long shutter setting in Menu, and then going to the ISO setting and hitting Menu to access the shutter time, then increase your shutter time for the amount of light you have, mine were mostly shot with 2-5s shutters. Another tip is to set the camera to 2 second timer so you aren't touching the camera anymore when it starts to take the picture to avoid any shaking of the camera.

Thanks for the advice! I'm definitely a phote n00b, but I have been using a tripod and using a 2s delay already. I'll change my shutter speed now for nice shots.

Data Systems R-Spec, much better than the OEM 06 spoiler

They do if you order from an importer such as Z1 or Gruppe-S, you could probably squeeze a 19x11 +11 with some aggressive camber and stretch, which will net you a 4.8" lip, or go more conservative with a 19x11 +24 which only gets you a 4.3" lip. Mine are only 9.5 +30 in the rear, but I got a steal on them and couldn't pass it up
