The MS also only come in 18x8. Advan's in my future!

Gunmetal would have Been super sexy, and would have added some "STEALTH"/Sleeper status to your ride Jedi', but then again these are REPLICAS....

JEDI/SCREMN8 , im sorry but the pictures do no Justice for the X10's at the rear. You have to see then in person when you driving behind JEDI= SUPER BEEFY (i remember from behind you in the crash last cruise)

yeah, I guess that comment wasn't fair to Scremn8's pictures. They were just pictures he took while we were out in Vegas, not necessarily focused on any particular part of the car.

I need to take some updated pics. Probably at SevenStock

Zumn: gunmetal is a great color but I've always just had a thing for silver wheels on a black car.

Rotr8: thanks man. Funny... I was just looking at your thread, good stuff you've got going on over there.

pdxhak: yeah, gunmetal looks good on yours but it compliments that CF lip as well.
for me, the silver goes well with the strakes, the rotary accents, and the MS wing brackets. It's all gotta flow.

Well you know I like yours,,,
the Gunmetal looks good on yours because its clearly not trying to be a one color scheme,,,
The polished lip helps break it up as well,,,

I just hate black on black on black on black on..... you get the idea,,,
