that lip is huge! Looks so bad ***. I am thinking about similar color wheels, but probably in 5-spoke.

Looks good, but are those just regular old lug nuts on the wheels? A set black powdered coated are a must for those. Great start, looking forward to seeing your future mods.

Thanks for the kind words guys I take critisim very well and thought this was going to be bad since the wheels were a different color instead of chrome or polished/silver finish.

GWELEX I hate the lugs but when I purchased my tires Discount Tire had no lugs with our thread pattern Goodyear tire didn't have any a few other wheel shops didn't have any lugs in black for our thread pattern etheir So I went and just purchased some regular old lugs for the mean time and just ordered the black ones Wednesday. They said the shipment should get here on Monday

SiFreak Djarum's all day My girlfriend hates my smoking and can't stand the smell. I try not to smoke around here but one night I was smoking a Djarum after dinner and she said "If you are going to cut done and still smoke atleast smoke those cause those don't smell as bad " Indonesian kretek rules!

LoseOn22s The car is lowered about 1 1/2 inches in front and about 1 3/4 in the rear. But when I get the Air Runner suspension is game over, tire and wheel tuck ALL DAY

Joe C The SSR Professor SP1's would be a very nice choice too. Black face, 2 stage lip *drool*

That's exactly what I'm looking for, thanks!

I wouldn't go any other way than black wheels/polished lip with a silver car... just sets it off too well.
