Default Test fit new wheels and joe z cf tips

Its still winter unfortunately up here but I put on the CF tips. And switched out one of my new wheels to take a picture and tease myself. I will be installing the splitter kit and rear diffuser in a few more weeks when all the snow is gone for good.

Carbon wheels are always hit or miss, yes they are 20s. Once I get the rest of the wheels and the CF lip kit on I think it will pull together really nicely on the MM. Some people were over when I test fit and they all said it looked hot, on the other note one of my friends did suggest i move to the getto to fit in better... Standing right next to the car with a stock on the front and this on the rear, the new wheels blow the stock wheel out of the water in INMO, I feel like the stock wheels blend into the car.
