so I have 1 new rim on my car and it sticks out like a sore thumb. really shows how much the rims have worn down from snow/salt. I had a bent rim (pretty bad) but didnt know till I put the snow tires on. Couldnt feel it with the run flat tires on. I think it was like this when I got the car but too late for me to do anything now. I am going to have them send this rim back and fix it for a spare just in case

what do you guys think of black GSpyders on the GS? Its still going to be the winter set up. Not sure I can match the OEM paint unless I pay $$ for it. I am looking to do it myself possible if I can. Was talking to the tech at the dealer and seems easy and he said he would help out. Some spacers and this could look good with some flat black paint??

why not gloss black? looks better, hehe. i have gloss black oem wheels on my S2000 and it looks way better than a lot of the other S's out there that i've seen with flat black. thats just my opinion though.

This is exactly why we need those license plate frames. I have a silver GS but it's an '06, tints and a billet grill and I live close. Also go to Marks Sound but not lately.

^ Mark is awesome! He has worked on so many cars for me and I got him hooked up with McGrath dealers. He is who installed the remote start on the GS for me

India House FTW! Thanks bud. I actually lowered the car more on the driver side today (thanks Mike!). It was riding a little high because I was rubbing before.

Car is low! I knew we should have kept it at the height we originally set Mike. I plan on raising it a bit:

I'd have to roll my fenders if I were to keep it this way. Not worth the headache IMO.
