I love that look!

Are you running spacers? Also, how much is the car lowered?

They still weigh a lot less than other stock rims. The weight added, if any, was not at all noticeable by me or any friend.

What was the cost of chroming the wheel? I'm planning to powercoat my OEM tracks... the spokes in gunmetal or black and chrome the lip... just never have the time to bring them in...

they are japanese words that mean 1st model and 2nd model or something to that effect.

03-05s are zenki
07-08 are kouki
and 06 are probably referred to as chuki (middle years) since its kinda weird...
