Default PICs - Finally got wheels back from Ye Olde

Finally got my wheels back after 6 1/2 weeks of waiting My camera is pewp and the car is dirty. But here are some pics. I had to rip the GReddy replica front off of there because fiberglass+city streets=cracks everywhere. So now I'm in search of a new lip.
Some other misc. changes:
-15mm ichiba spacers all around
-Window tint by Fresh Design
-Smoked taillights
-Front and rear badges










Here are the wheels before going for the paint job:

Normally, I hate black wheels on car because they tend to have that "spare tire rim" look to them. There are a few cars that really pull it off well though, and yours is one of them. Your car looks fantastic.

It was $115 per wheel, $20 - 30 of which is for dismounting/mounting and balancing. And there's no getting out of that.

Yeah, I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea. But I appreciate your feedback. I'm happy with it

mynismo.com has this badge listed on their site, but it's always out of stock. I just ebay-ed it because I hate waiting. Modding + Lack of Patience = Bad.
Here are some on auction:

yeah, that has to be addressed soon. But I think I am going to enjoy a couple of weeks of not scraping everything on god's green earth, while saving some cash

I love the look of the red strip. It kicks. Reminds me of my buddy's R6, all black but a red strip on the rims, looked mean as hell.

Thanks Tech Though I don't neccarsarily disagree with you about the wheels being "too small"... I dunno what to do about that. These are 18s wrapped in 245/40/18 and 275/40/18. Unless you are saying w/ this look i need to go to 19 s or 20s?

I like the rear skirt, and the black on red look. Personally, with the money and time spent, I would have gone with another wheel.

With that said though, looks 100% better than before.
