Shinka's are on Oh and HKS, oh and Cobb Installed Nitrous kit is sitting on the garage floor in boxes If the car looks high in the first few pics it's because it was kind of on a hill.

Sorry about the pics, I just slapped em' on and went and snapped a few pics real quick

It's a dark chrome. Tough to match with just paint.

Yes, they are pristine Shinka wheels that I purchased off a local member. At first glance most don't even notice but when you see them next to the stock wheels the difference is amazing (to me anyway). I went with these because I just cannot find any aftermarket wheels that excite me at a decent price.

Yeah I am contemplating between the Vertex sides, leg, or burn out sides. I like the look of A mair's car with the factory AP front and rear.

Sounds good man, I have a stock set for sale and if they don't sell I am going to pick a color for them.
