Default Old guy/old car. New year/new wheels. SoCalSC4 + Individ

I haven't checked in for a minute - but I still have this old car. Had it for over 10 years now.

Contemplated selling it last year, but for the money I could realistically get out of it, I decided I'd just keep it. I've started driving it a bit more, and I'm glad I kept it. The V8 sound alone is worth it.

After finding excellent homes for my last set(s) of wheels, I decided to try something concave.
As usual, I did a different style on either side of the car.
I'm old school; I still like the brushed/polished look on wheels - this time with blue inner barrels.

Front 20x10.0" with 255/30-20 Toyo Proxes 4 Plus (pulled + cut fenders)
Rear 20x12.0" with 295/25-20 Toyo Proxes 4 Plus (cut fenders)

Thanks for looking, and I wish you all a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2015!

Passenger's side: Individ "Cortex"

Glad you held onto the car, one of the classics that inspired me years ago!

She's aged well, like a fine wine. I'm still having trouble deciding which wheels I prefer, though.

Always loved this car! Easily one of the best imo. Glad you kept it. Didn't one of the other O.G. blue 2GS get sold and trashed? (bluelex?) Anyways, tough call on the wheels but I'd have to say the first set.

Love the driver side, iv always loved the look of concave wheels. I just don't love how you can't really fit a big lip on them. Great looking car.
