For a second I thought you were talking about the new tire stickers lol. But yeah those little red stickers make a difference. I wanted to go lower another inch but the tires are like about ready to kick my fenders *** if I take a big pot hole!!

Now I need a carbon hood/trunk and of course get rid of those orange side markers.

Looks good, but when taking pics of your car (especially the wheels) you should turn your wheels the oposite direction so the we see the face of the wheel, not your tire tread.

All these haters all under the same roof. Ill have some new pictures tomorrow when I goto a spot iv had selected for months to take pictures at. Ill repost over my old one so you will be happy lol.

I drove around seattle tonight and I really need to roll my fenders cause I was catching the fender time to time. I did get 4-5 people telling me "Nice car!". So that was the bonus of the day! Time to do a dance and have a beer.

topgear... got anymore side shots bro? To be honest, at first I was a serious hater of black on black, but now I'm starting to reconsider, especially since it's kind of a "flat black" wheel, you know? Still up in the air with what I want to get, but right now the "flavor of the month" is silver Advan RG II ...we'll see.

Obviously no up to date pics of my car just yet except for whats in the blog... detailing pics come spring, promise. *nudges Altspace* Right? :P

There we go. Updated the pictures. Little better but not so much CLOSE up on the wheels cause I wanted to still keep the whole picture there.

I dont do tire shine. IMO makes the "tire" look bad. I knew someone was going to say something about that though when I was mounting my wheels.

I know this is mainly the RPF1 thread, but I was hoping for some kind of opinion. What would you think of these Enkei RZ-5s- http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...1&wd=18&rw=9.5 - on a stormy blue with 265s? I don't have that much to spend on wheels and I like the look of them, it's just damn hard to imagine what it would looks like on the car.
