One last shoot

I took advantage of a beautiful day today and got some shots with my new wheels (after a month of having them).

Ro_Ja by Rays R2-7's in RMC. (Same wheel as the Gram Lights 57s Pro, down to the embossed "G" in one of the spokes.)
Specs: 18x9 +37 with 245/40/18 all around. Tein S-Techs on stock shocks.

I'm not a huge fan of the chrome, but couldn't pass up the deal. I plan to have them powder coated over the winter to a dark grey/gunmetal, black or bronze leaving the lip polished. At least now, i have so decent pics to photoshop different wheel colors.

Looks good man. But now you need some clear corners. They will go with the new wheels much better than the amber ones.

Thanks for all of the comments. I've had the rims for about a month, and the chrome just won't grow on me. Once the snow starts flying, they are going to get PC'd.

Exhaust problem solved as of tonight. HKS Hi-Power installed. Sounds fantastic! If it wasn't raining and dark, i'd have some better pics of it.

I actually like the color of the glossy colored wheels - i'm aiming for some gram light 57 titaniums - when the look is simple and clean, the gloss finish looks nice IMO.

+1 on what the others have said about the clear corners and darker tint. Aside from that in regards to appearance, just a clean lip kit or something should set off the car pretty nicely.

keep up the good work
