i dont like the color is ugly but if u do its what matter

Are there no speed bumps in SoCal?

The fitment/wheels looks great!

the front tyres actually look too wide for me. and terror low (like Sifu above!)

Nice!!

looking good, crazy setup

Unfortunately, there are :( This was part of the reason I forced myself to sell my expensive exhaust, every now and then you can get stuck in a situation that gives you no option other than grit your teeth and scrape. Speedbumps aren't an issue really, usually you can find another way around (slight hassle). The real problem is driving in unfamiliar areas where you don't know the contours of the road/highway...


The car is a bit too low to really perform ideally, I'll admit that. I still have 800 miles left on my rebuilt motor at which time I'll see how the current setup actually performs in spirited runs. I'm hoping I'm satisfied but if I am not, I'll try raising it up a bit and realign accordingly. My experience with cars is a constant battle between form and function, the former typically getting the better of me. Still, I'm going to try to dial the car in to be a blast to drive in the canyons while maintaining a look I like.

edit: Thanks for any compliments guys. I choose these wheels because of my own preference, rather than what the forum dictates as 'right' and 'wrong' but it's always cool to see some others share your interests.

i frickin love the color!

Vicious setup as always tilt. :smoker:

Some asipring fitment junkies should take some notes...

Looks good! Add a front lip and you're done!

Yeah, some nice aero will really pull things together but I've been putting that off more and more by spending money elsewhere, haha.

I Love this car and all it's wheels!

The stance is fn prime. Very nice setup, although i'd a just painted the corners white, the hole distracts from the tight fitment imo.

The hole is there because of the fitment. I've tinkered with the idea of dremelling out some clear corners so it is just the outer most lens and placing that there but in the end, I would rather just fill it in with whatever future bumper I'll be getting.

If some clear corners come up cheap I'd pick them up just to try it out though, it's something I've contemplated from day 1 of taking the corners out.

If you are getting a new front bumper i'd say f it too. Buddyclub looks fab in white. Anyways, looks dope bud, I'm going low when I get my jic's repacked.

I hope JIC isn't doing the work themselves, for your sake...

Yeah, I used to want the buddy club but I've got a pretty good hook on the FEED front and sides so we'll see what happens.

I'm not really anxious to spend money as the sooner I get it, the sooner it'll get scraped up -_-

I posted a comment on a month old post about my car and look what popped up today...

matt! i love the set up! i like your original takata green set up but this is gorgeous....since no one asked...where is your other exhuast tip!? or am i just seeing things?

Thanks for the compliment man, I hated my parking spot at sevenstock but I guess that's what happens when you don't go with the socal caravan -_-

Nikk, that's actually a custom single exit exhaust I've got but it's too loud so isn't on the car. This thread is actually pretty old, back when I first had the car with these wheels.

Since then I've taken some better pics that I guess I can update this thread with, since it's been bumped. Loads more at my flickr, of course...

oO i see...it kinda looked a stock tip on there. was it just chopped to form a signle exit?

spotted your car also and love the rims!! too bad we didnt get to meet to take some after shots...

These wheels look good on your car... something about them, just look good.

0 wheel gap... Me like.

:worship: The fitment is awesome and I love the color, very nice to see people with a different style.

ok so I wasn't the only one that was thinking that....lol

Looks great tilt. I had plans to do a set up like many of yours but plans have changed....
