Always loved the wheels. Classic design since I first saw them on gsintesive's GS back in 2003.

Where did this pic come from?

Those rims were Photoshopped on there long ago by Neo. That car belongs to redGS4 and he never had those on his car.

Funny how old pics come back from the grave.

I almost went with the Equips, still one of my favorites. Neo was also nice enough to photoshop the JP Tails.

I'm not a huge fan of show and prefer more go mainly because this is my daily driver. I do like subtle changes though, as I am installing a TTE front lip in a couple weeks along with a TT brake setup and rear stb. I'm looking into JDM window visors, rear window spoiler and LED tails, then I should be done modding the exterior. The only other mods i may do in the future are changing the wheel face color to the high polish thats underneath the black and adding chrome door handles and front grill. All mods are listed in my sig.

On to the pics -

Work Equip 18X9 ~30, 18X9.5 ~28
Yokohama ES100 235/40 255/35

Ride height was just raised an inch in the rear and half inch in the front to compensate for my new set of Dunlop SP9000 245/40,275/35.
The Equips look sharp on silver. I prefer the subtle mod approach as well - I think you are going in a good direction.

Thanks for all the comments and the compliments guys!! I just love the GS400 so much. I'm sure I'll keep it as a project over the years once I go with something else. Dreams of a 6-speed 2JZ here!!!
