will probably rub when you get really loaded down or go over large bumps... but looks sah-weet... very nice :D
 
Rims are tight. From the angle they look gun metal, is it same from the front? What did ya spend on rims/tires?
 
the rubbing issue.... i had 4 people in the car yesterday(me +3 other) i hit a couple tight turns and kinda got scared. didnt hear anything but i ran out the car to check and not cuts or anything. (rockon) i quess maybe the hard coilovers are to thank a bit ???

cost... 500 for the rims 240 for the tires 200 misc stuff.

thanks for the compliments everyone..
 
so these rims do not come with center caps? it's a little strange to be able to see the hub nut

oh yea, and you're missing a lug nut (pic 4, bottom)
 
cool eye lids, but what are all those tiny stickers on ur wind sheild?
 
looks awesome

good observation, damn you good lol
 
Nice wheels, Those look alot like RyanJayG's Aerospeed RS-GT's. I love the way that the spoke's slope inward.

lol, it's not my car.. :'( it's just an edit of one of the users cars on this forum (i lost his user name) and RyanJayG's wheels which I drool over. It's basically the car I want to have ideally.

lol, it's cheap ass edit, looks good when is only 1/20 of it original size.

later,

no the rims do come with a center cap, but i kinda like the look of it with out the cap in. i dunno, looks kinda racey??
