Sill waiting on mine.. 
Going with the same set up except for spark silver instead of mercury silver. Hey Srivero297, I've got 2 questions.
1st. How long did it take after your wheels shipped from Japan?
2nd. I have a CS Roadster. In your estimation, which is closer to my paint, mercury silver or spark silver? Thanks!

It takes a while for stuff to come from japan, customs is a pain. I can tell you that first hand, cause I just had my Impul wing come from Japan. When I ordered it they told me 60-90 days and it ended up being 5 months.
As far as the colors go, Bryan sent me an email comparing the colors of spark silver and mercury silver. I can forward it to you if you want. Whats your email address?? Basically, mercury silver (which you see on my car) is slightly darker.

Yeah, the ride is a little bumpy but its actually not that much worse than stock surprisingly. What I learned from experience though-- check tire pressure weekly with low profiles to prevent from bending rims, and it also helps the ride. Whats a good psi for 30 and 35 series tires?? I put them at 40psi when I first got them cause I figured better safe than sorry.

Looks sweet! Congrats! 
I would have to agree that those rims look really good on DB but those pics really aren't the best of quality. Any chance you can most some better pics? Also, is your car lowered?

Also, is your car lowered?The car is going to the bodyshop this week cause Im having my my hood, fenders, and wing installed. When it comes back I will take some better pictures with my girlfriend's digital camera.
As for the lowering, those pics are on the stock suspension. I ordered a set of TEIN Flex, but they havent come in yet, still waiting on them.
