Can't decide on Racing Hart CX's, the new Ro_Ja by Rays wheel, new Ro_Ja Formula 2, or a variety of Volk models. Definitely looking at 19's in silver. I would get the TSW Thruxton's if they came in silver -- that looks like the best wheel bargin going right now IMO.
Cool, I guess I'll wait on Mustafa for his rear aeros. Get some bling! All the wheels up there are sick!

TxRx8,
nice looking wheels!! looking at the pics, i assume u got the silver finish right? i wonder if the gunmetal wheels would be less of a pain to keep clean as they're darker to begin with..

Thanks dankgummy, yeah I got the light silver finish for the wheels. The dark silver would definitley be less of a pain to clean, but I loved the light silver finish on these.
I'd like to see those darks on an a white 8. Nice.

Good reason... no matter they look sharp man. And the more I see 8's without the factory spoiler, the more I like them... I am thinking of removing my factory spoiler and getting mesh rims!

I am also starting to not like side skirts... maybe I just prefer the leaner sexier look to the stocky? Dunno, in any case good job on the car.

Good question Rage, the tpms was not installed. The my buds at the dealership informed me that the sensors wouldn't fit because of the size the hole the nozzle fits through was too small. I think they were just too lazy to switch 'em out! Good excuse tho, I'll buy it.

Thanks trophymaker, I dont feel the stock spoiler on my 8. It looks great either way, but I chose not to put one on.

I'm thinking of getting the MS Spoiler. Yay or Nay guys? :D

INGS spoiler or no spoiler! I think the car looks classy like it is. Just drop it.

Lol, yeah a drop is coming soon. Nothing to dramatic tho. As for the wing, either a lip or the MS for me dude!

Those looks like a machined lip? Not polished................. it would have to be a multi piece way to be polished?

Pretty sharp nonetheless

I didn't know that. What's the differene in looks between polished and machined?
I guess they're machined then. Whatever, they're cool anyways.

I got 'em from Alex Castillo over at "thespeeddepot.com." He's a great guy, very helpful and works well with customers. He's also on Ebay, if your interested.
