That is the only set of wheels, besides the originals, that I've seen look good on Nordic Green. I think they would look better bright, but the gunmetal works. Nice.

Spacers would make them complete.
rear lights would be much more appropriate if they were S2's with the extra round lights.
I missed my FD and did this in memory

you see the fd has three and the s2 has two, s1 has one round on each side.
I love it none the less.

Looks like buyers are already biting. I guess that's fine by me, I dont have that kind of extra cash laying around right now anyway. Maybe one day...

OP, how does the weight of the R3 setup compare to OEM?
