Default My new wheels...yay/nay? Pix inside

So, it seems like everyone here cares more about the looks than performance. Not disrespecting anyone, but just one of my observations For that reason, I guess it's mandatory to post up some of my cosmetic modifications and get some feedback.

And yes, I'm still keeping the Blitz wheels. I'll get to switch wheels off every week or two to keep people that recognize my car on the streets confused

Keep in mind this won't be the final ride height. My car has been in the air on jackstands for about a month now so the coilovers might need a little bit of time to fully settle back down. Also, the front is really high off the ground because half of the engine isn't in the car right now

The new wheels look ok but I prefer the Blitz ones.

I like these, as well as the gold blitz. This is a fresh look though, and the fitment is . Congrats big baller with two sets of wheels!
