btw doesn't matter where you bought them as long as they are nice go w/the theme of the car and aren't exactly fragile as f*ck...

the wheels packages for them actually go for about $1200-1300 or so...

I wanted JDM wheels but at the moment I cant dish out what they are worth so the mean time im cooling my want for wheels.

bored

Hello I got bored today and decided to paint my strut bar. I used plasti-kote anodizeit. I sprayed the base coat then tapped off the ends and sprayed them blue. Its a little darker than WB but its good enough.

Thanks. the rear has spacers I made at work, it used to sit lower. Right now its about 1/4" higher. I think its the weak spring rate.
