so they got mounted. #HIYOOOO

and i'll admit...when he sent the pics to me while i was at work...i HATED them. buyer's remorse doesnt begin to describe how i felt. i was literally distraught. i knew i'd have a hard time replacing the zaubers...but man. i LOVED the way the car looked, previously....



and the Gettins were my favorite wheel, ever. but when i picked the car up...it started to grow on me. and after i hosed her down and put some sheen on those dry tires...

well...



there's a bit of a rub on both ends....so i'll definitely have some shaving to do. Props to Neo on the links. and i think painting the calipers red will help a ton, as well. especially the Supra's up front. i also notice that im in DIRE need of some 01 tail lights.

ill snap some more later this weekend with better lighting and more angles. just wanted to get some opinions, going forward. tell me what you think...

I think it looks good bro! But with a more aggresive drop it will look 100x better

The Chrome looked good.. But the blacked out look give the car a whole different attitude. I like the Vader look.

You didnt want the 512's? they would have stretched alittle better for minimal shaving. None the less it still looks good

reactions have gone all across the board. they kinda mirror my opinions. some HATE em. some LOVE em. we'll call it an evolution. hopefully...i can repair the Gettins (since the insurance company didnt want em) and i can have 2 different looks for the whip.
