beater and track wheels on, sneak peak at show rims
I have quite a few mods going on with the car and finishing the last of what i want to do up. So the car is dirty and things are missing.
i came across a good deal when i got rid of my 17 rota p45r. I ended up with month old mint 18x8.5 +30 (15mm spacer in rear) piaa super rozza in chrome lip/gunmetal(light) faces. Well they are now mirror black and 255/40/18 tires and 245/40/18 bfr r1 for track.
I do have to lift the coilovers and some fender work. the next set is going to be 19x9.5 +30 255/35 front and 19x10.5 +25 275/35 rear. all the yellow is color matched. They should be here monday though not sure when i will get them on (buying tires) with everything going on

not really sure. I was looking at nitto invos but no final decision. trying to finish the audio fiberglass and such in the trunk. Not sure i like the 255/40 on the PIAA (went this route because it was same diameter as the fronts 19s) either may go 245/40 next round and star specs or somthing. On the other end the meaty ness is growing on me as i usually do slight strech.

im suprized no one noticed the new roof (its not paint). also redoing the trunk with a custom sub (built from the magnet off one i blew awhile ago before the 8). hes waiting on a carbon dust cap but threw this one on to test and build a box to work in the 8 for sound quality.

thanks guys. I'm debating even driving with them on it took quite a bit of convincing myself to get them and not sure how I would act if I messed one up. I may just take them to shows and put them on there lol. I almost asked cost to replace pieces of the wheel but was afraid to ask based on original price.

never needed to do it. the seams came out good and nothing a good clean bead of black window sealer won't take car of. I do feel sory for the guy if my windows ever have to get pulled.
All i really have left i wan to do is either get my calipers painted or a BBK all around, Pair of black racing seats with custom harness bar, get the fenders on, rebuild on the spare motor and maybe the original, and this monster is complete.
