besides the wheels (which are too bling for veilside) i think its a nice kit, looks like it fits properly, and you need a hair cut!

You have a nice kit there! Add some side and rear pix.

Yes, tuner wheels are a must (in my opinion) since you have the Veilside kit to go along with.

Any performance mods?

Never been a big fan of the Veilside kit, but I can respect it for what it is. The wheels definitely don't match the kit though. Time for something different.

For this circumstance, any wheels'll do, haha. You should definately sell them, which you probably are. Since those bling prolly have money behind them, get yourself a mod while you're at it, and a hair cut too. Or some really nice gram lights or something. I dunno, just change those wheels hah.

lmao i was gonna say hair cut too, just joking.. im not a big fan on the VS on a blue 8 idk why... but looks pretty good, its an agressive kit.. i think you need to swap the spoiler it doesnt really flow, along iwth the rims that are a MUST. my .02

Not the biggest fan of that kit, but it is done cleanly and looks good from that standpoint. Definitely should go with some different rims, like others have said the chrome is a little too bling for the rest of the car.

Here are my LE37Ts. Agreed that gold would be much better with the blue.

Chrome

I like the chrome wheels...if you get something new; ill take the others off your hands. Whats the make and model of the chrome one in the origional post?

I just got an rx8 (black/blackand red) They would be perfect!

Thanks

Great Kit; personally i would keep the chrome, or give it to me! haha

These would look good I recon, http://www.enkei.com/Performance%20specs/rs6.html. Your car looks great, maybe lower it a bit it looks kind of high, but that just might be me.

3. get a tripod for night shots or dont shake your hands
4. front looks higher than the rear
5. remove yourself off the pix
6. nice driveway
