Thanks! I can honestly say these wheels have made me feel cooler than I've ever been before lol. Now I just need to copycat Al's car on a few more things and I'll be set! j/k

I do need a drop, but I just can't bring myself to get one because it'd be a death sentence for my bumper. Especially because the complex we're moving to in a couple months has speedbumps. My next step is to paint those nasty calipers. I already have the satin black caliper paint kit, but I'm debating whether or not I want to try to paint the pad shims yellow (to match the Momo cap). I am sure it wouldn't last long, but I think it'd be awesome to have the black caliper with just a little bit of yellow showing in there to really draw you in. I'll be sure to update pictures are I replace that heinous cast iron look.

The black and silver V-10s look great on black or yellow, but I don't think they'd work on blue or titanium. The silver is definitely the way to go on the blue.

The tint looks nice. I love the look of dark tint. Not so fond of it when driving at night, but it does look damn good, especially on the WB.

yeah i agreem silver would look the best on WB
as for the tint, the guy at the shop made a good point though, that at night other cars will have their headlights on anyways, so you will be able to see them anyways or at least know where the cars are

cant wait for mine

but im debating on after i get those rims, if i should drop first or get the MS kit
because like you, i also have a messed up driveway, because my garage is my backyard and my backyard is like a 10" higher than the sidewalk, so my dad made a steep little ramp out of concrete so that the other cars (as you can see from the photo) the SUVs can get up.
i already barely scrape

sometimes i can hear it, sometimes i dont.

I bought the Nitto NT555 tires, 235/35 19. I have Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Seasons on my 18" OEM wheels to use as winter wheels/tires already. The Nittos had the highest rating on DTD, so I went with them.
