Looks good, but would look better if you took the sun roof wind defuser thing off.

Those wheels look really nice. The color looks really good on the VR and with the tinted sidemarkers.

They really do look great!

Sorry, a few more questions

1. Is your car lowered and if so, how much?
2. Did you have to roll fenders? Rubbing problem?
3. What tire profile and width?
4. Where did you purchase?
5. How did you get that smoked out effect on corners?

1. The car is stock ride heigh
2. I Will most likely have to roll the rear fenders when I do put my s-techs on
3. The tires are falken 912's in 245 40 19
4. I bought the rims off of wheeldude.com and the tires off ebay for cheap brand new
5. I ordered some spray tint from advanced, your local parts store might have it in stock (<$10) They usually keep it behind the counters. If not, you can use stained glass tint from lowes or somewhere.
6. I know you didnt have a 6th question but I just wanted to note that all of your guys comments are making my fiance a little less pissed that I spent that much money RIGHT before our wedding/honeymoon :O

Thanks for all the compliments! Yeah, the Z is selling his wheels and getting some works.

Thanks. I have S-Tech's. when do you plan on getting them? Did you weigh the rims? Read that they were 19.5 pounds but I don't really believe these numbers unless they come from a member who has weighed them.

Went to site you suggested and didn't see them in 18 inch size so I sent them a message.

Nice rims. Those tires look like some pretty sticky meat claws. Nice job on the red lug nuts. Makes it match but with not overdoing the red. Looks really good. Nice job on hiding that intercooler too. Sleeper at best.

I've had them for a little over 2 months. I have an ordering problem.....haha I usually put the horse before the cart, and I haven't had time to get them put on.

not too expensive at all. $900 shipped.

That sticky wheelweights website has them at 23.5 lbs but I didnt weigh them.
