new wheels
Well ive been looking at all these stanced out 8s recently in the other thread. I have the 360s for shows im kinda scared to drive on for long distance shows(trailer it some times but still like to drive in the group)
the PIAAs are nice but another club member has a set and far from agressive just very meaty.
Ive been looking at a few sets of volks and a few others. Id like to keep a 255/40 tire all around and run a 18x10-10.5. I really like some of the blues but not sure it fits whats everyones thoughts on color? I like the black but kind of want a crazy color if it will flow well
maybe some ce28, gts, work emotion cr something with a open wheel or thin spokes
heres a quick photochop, not the greatest quality but the only picture where the car is not at a angle.

Quick glance, I like it. If I stare at it long enough, I don't.
Your car is definitely dope though.
Also note that it has been proven that I have no taste with regards to wheels and what looks good. LY is my favorite color on the 8 (mine is LY) but one of the hardest (IMO) to find stand out wheels for. Seems like it's black or nothing...

I'm not a fan of bright colored rims but I'd say out of all those, the blue probably are the best.
I saw a black R34 with those green volks and they looked great but not feeling it with the yellow, too many colors.
Honestly, I'd check out a bronze/copper color if that's available.

custom dark blue
custom dark blue, i have more pics if you are interested. depending on daylight, it was anywhere from blue to navy blue to black at night. the following picture i think is pretty true to what it looks like in daylight, but not shining directly at it.
**edit**
actually, brake dust was the biggest contributor to the dullness of color.. stock pads. the second picture is what i have on there now. pretty simple.

Back on to the wheels, with the crazy color setup i like the pink but i think the black with the yellow volks is perfect.
