Default new wheels on my new ride

here is a pic of my car with the my new to me wheels.

i know it looks like a monster truck, so coilovers will be coming as soon as i can decide which ones. brakes will be soon too.

they may have to wait b/c i found that the right rear wheel bearing is bad and needs replacing. boo!

i want to do a grill, front lip, roof and rear spoiler, but haven not decided which ones yet. i think that all carbon would look good on a a silver gs. the problem is finding all parts in a matching weave with the same direction. there is nothing more i hate than multiple carbon weaves on a car. i guess i may have to get the grill and wrap everything else to match that, as i have not seen a carbon front lip. do they exist????

thanks for the compliments. it is not as clean as it looks. both bumpers could use a repaint, but i want to wait until i get the lip/anything else sorted. i don't want to rush into anything else like i did the wheels. although i do have to say that i think i made the right choice. a little old, but still classy as hell.

I like them, they look good. Get some clear side markers and some aftermarket lugs.
