Wow Alvin, I actually like this setup a lot better than your GTS. It's looking real clean!

Thanks for the props guys!

Nexx – Yeah bro I am loving these wheels more and more. I do like the GT-S but last month I had to sell them due to financial stuff. I came across a trade for the 06 Rays Track wheels. One thing led to another I ended up selling those and buying these LM-GT4s which I always wanted in the first place 

black06z – I know right? When I got the Tokicos I didn’t know they drop that much either but the more I use them the more I’m pleased with this setup both in looks and performance

chriskabobbers - ?

badkarma85 – thanks man, yeah I love this cellphone. One reason being I hate carrying my big DLSR when I hang out with my friends and definitely no-no at a club type scene. This phone takes perfect pics for those times!

nothingremains – I go to the Univ. of WA full time and works about 30 hrs/week at a law firm…and try to not buy anything for myself but only for my car…oh and my fiancé of course haha.

Andy@Performance – Thanks Andy. Yeah when I first thought about it I wanted Nismo wheels but steered away from it due to not being sure if I want silver wheels again. However, after having black wheels for a while I am liking this. The weight saving aspect of it was pleasantly nice as well.

wasuber – haha wow, I’m flattered that you think I look good enough to haha. But yeah regarding your transformer comment I want those decals on my car haha

I think you should change your tires like Alvin's. It would be sexier. Yours are too thick IMO.

My Nismos are 18" versus Alvin's 19" wheels. Plus his car looks lower than mine. Also my tires are the Nissan recommended sizes of 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 for the Nismo wheels.

I go to college full time at the University of Washington and work at a law firm part time about 30-35 hours a week. I am paying for all my expenses including college and housing + car payments...so yeah I'm always broke

Yeah bro, I did because I wanted the Nismo LM-GT4 in the first place and as much as I love the Rays 06 gt/track wheels...I had to let them go to complete my Nismo look.

I know some of you guys like the Volks and I do too, but I think the Nismo was a good decision and I love the way it look right now too. Here's the post regarding the decision on the Volks
