I just took mine off of the drivers side. The flat (silver) caps will fit, but I had to shave it down (the inside of the cap) with a dremel and some sand paper. Glad I don't have to trim the spindle!

Gonna do the passenger side tomorrow and will take pictures of the cap to show how much needs to be shaved.

But for now, is BBQ time!

Wow these rims are sick. I'm absolutely set on getting LC818's but I'm really hung up on what finish to get them in.. i have a blk IS with 20% tint all around, so I'm sorta inching towards murdered out already but I'm not sure if the blk finish will be too much. i really wish someone had a pic of the hyper blk or smoked chrome finish.

I like the personal touch of the red center cap. With a quick glance, the set-up could be confused with BBS.

doesn't match without proper accenting on your car. Kind of sticks out like a sore thumb. Do like the red though and I figured you're just doing it for someone to see what it looks like lol.

Yeah, pretty much all that matches are the tail lights.

I'll leave them on for a week or so. Then it will be back to silver!

ned about the step lip design. i want a nice deep lip but worried the step lip takes away the deep dish/lip i want.
