Default microsteve40's pink on redline (ADV.1 inside)

I haven't posted up a proper thread with my latest wheel/color combo, so here it is. I sold my metallic blue AME Circlar Spec-R's and picked up a set of ADV.1s. Thanks to Eric at Get Your Wheels for the new setup!

ADV.1 ADV10TF
19x 9.5 +0, 225/35/19 F
19x 10.5 -5, 245/35/19 R

The color is matte light pink. As always, I welcome all comments, good and bad!

I loved the Blue Spec-R's...I can't decide my feelings on this set up. Pic 2 and 3 look like a toy car for some reason.

That's funny, that was the first thing I thought about the car when I put the new wheels on. I like the color combo, but think it's kind of goofy, like an RC car or something...

Not digging the pink on red , but i think the pink would look great on a different color Z. The yellow calipers clash with the pink too.

nice looking wheels but i agree with the previous post about not digging the colors but to each their own.

I think the color combo works pretty good.

Nice fit, but really clashes in my opinion. Like a ginger wearing a pink polo.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Nothing too drastic. My rears are rolled flat, but no pull at all. And same with the front. My fenders came out beautifully, and the fitment is absolutely perfect with the tire stretched.

I agree, but I haven't decided if I like it or don't like it yet! I'm entertaining the idea of painting all 4 calipers to match, but not sure what color I'd choose.

Ha, I've always wanted anodized green wheels, but thought it would look too Christmas-y. Never thought of the pink and red as Valentine's Day-ish! I just wanted to try something different. I've had silver and blue, thought I'd go with something a little more unique. And the pink really does go well with the cherry blossoms on the hood/fender, which you can't see much of in the pics I posted!

It's Highway 21 just outside of Boise, near the Lucky Peak Reservoir. The road I'm actually on is just a big turnaround/parking area near the reservoir. You can see a bit of the actual road in the background in one of the pics, and it's ok there, but it gets better a few miles further north.

Lol... I like it but the pink and red clash a little. Somehow it works, how light/heavy are the wheels?

I didn't have a good feeling about this reading the title, and I still feel the same way. It just doesn't work for me at all. As for advice, I'd definitely changed the caliper colors if you plan on keeping the rims pink.
