New wheels!

I put my new wheels on today. Tell me what you guys think? I am putting my tien stech springs on this weekend, and also I am going to paint the brakes red this weekend also. I already ordered my clear corners and they are on their way.

That's good. Not trying to be a jerk, but in the pictures, the wheels really bring out a purple tint out of the Titanium

I have serious doubts about the ability of his rims to change the color of his car's paint. More likely that the camera is off.

yes, not as good as stock. when I feel like riding the twisties or going to the track I just put my stock wheels back on. no big deal.

Took a couple more pictures after I painted brake pads, clear corners, and I only had time to put on the front tien stechs. Will be putting the rears on this weekend.

Looks like someone has an excuse to get the MS front bumper. What a great girlfriend!
