The level of haters on this site is crazy. If he was asking your opinions I could see the remarks but he is not, if you are just gonna talk **** then move on. I think once he gets it all worked out it will look pimp. Props for walking your own line.

Throw some big vinyl advertising for Tein and no one will question it...




Or you could paint/vinyl it like the BP Mazda P@ in the ALMS...

Making a thread for the sole purpose of SHOWING what he did to his car IS asking for opinions whether he literally comes out and says it or not, you know that by now. He's a big boy, he can handle it....he knew full well that most of the reactions would be negative but did it anyways...shows he's secure in his decision

I happen to like takata green wheels....not for the street though. I've been looking to refinish my track wheels for my ITR and I'm going to do them in takata green.

The hood, however, is nasty.

Thank you for understanding the car is not complete! Its like leaked pictures of a super model, while they're in the process of plastic surgery. Haha, no michael jackson jokes either

Actual offset, no spacers

Because some of you fail at reading (more than I fail at wheels/fenders), here's my daily:

It does look nice on black cars, but you wont be able to see what kind of car it is at night because of how blinding the rims are... I think this color of the rims just make the car look like a serious track beast.

+1. I like the track look and hey its your ride. Do what you want. It reminds me of the Tein car.

Hella flush! and bad *** fitment. But the fender rolling job was not so good. Best to do it when the car have been driven and not cold so the metal is hot.

It was actually a blistering hot day + heat gun Lol. It's much more than a roll to fit these specs without stretched tires. Anyone who happens to see my car in person (fully dressed for 7 stock ) will see they aren't bad. One corner is a bit aggressive but in the s2k community this type of pull/flare isn't unfamiliar.

Yeah the entire liner won't stay out, I still need the rear portion. Took them out to fit the wheels.
