lmao at some of the responses. hopefully I will have more pics after the weekend. A lot of those ideas are definitely in the mix. Especially a new exhaust with ti tips (motordyne tdx2 maybe...) Oh and don't worry the door handles won't get painted. I'd rather eat rice than drive in it.

i dont think you have to add more blue for them to work. i agree with the blackout headlights and front lip or aftermarket front.

Trust me bro, im a big fan of blue wheels.

The blue doesnt have to be on the outside (and nothing really can except BBK, but blue BBK + blue wheels = too much). Think blue accents in the interior and bay.

For instance, i have nothing else blue outside. My bay and interior, however, have blue accents that tie it together, such as blue stitching wheel, blue quick release, blue harness, blue rad hoses, intake hoses, Cusco s bar, etc.

Little things like that all over the car tie the wheels in well, even if nothing else on the outside is blue.

Of course, this is just my 2 cents, to each his own. But i think if you follow the blue theme youll like how the accents tie in with the blue wheels, even if not noticeable from the outside.

GeauxLadyZ: you're spot on with what I am hoping will tie it together. My Harness bar matches the wheels spot on and I will be adding more blue here and there. On a side note, your Magblue GT-S are one of the sexiest wheels I have ever seen. Wanna trade?

One of my 3 (I have a problem) sets of black Enkei RPF1 wheels. These ones are the 18x10.5 +15 all around and have 285/30/18 Hoosier R6 tires on them.

The front is a perfect fit with very little additional clearance. The inside has a few, maybe 5, millimeters left. The outside just tucks under the lip. No fender modifications have been done so far; I'm at 3.2* negative camber in the front.

The rear is pretty aggressive, though I think that the suspension will keep it from rubbing especially with the short 285/30 tire, I'm going to roll the lip anyway. It has not rubbed (yet?) from my driving around town. The rear is at 2.5* negative camber.

Why 3 sets of RPF1s you ask? Because I'm obsessive (****?) and want to have the same wheels for all functions I attend:
1) 18x10.5+15x4 with 285/30/18 Hoosiers for track
2) 18x10.0+38x4 with 305/30/18 V710 for autox (will likely use 10mm spacers)
3) 18x8.5+30 & 18x9.5+15 with 265 and 285 Toyo R888 tires (drive to/from track and rain tires)

I went with all black RPF1 wheels to accent the new paint job, which has black accents. It'll be done in about 2 weeks.

The 18x10 wheels with the Hoosiers previously:
