Default Few updated Pics, wheel suggestions

Whats up. It's about my third card payment now and I'm still loving my car. I just got the roof and lower bumper wrapped. While removing the "exhaust pipes" was damn near impossible with the JoeZ exhaust sitting there, everything came out perfect.
Next I'd like to save up for a nice set of wheels. Right now they're stock, hopefully that's soon to change. I don't know much about the numbers, so links and pictures would do wonders for me. As long as it fits without me having to shave it!
P.S. Sorry about poor picture quality, these are all iPhone taken.

Loving the roof/bumper wrap. How much did it cost, and what materials did you have to purchase?

I'd suggest some nice authentic JDM wheels to compliment the beast. Don't skim on wheels!

The wrap looks nice, is it matte black? Hopefully it's not the 3m fake CF crap.

Thanks for the tips man, so that's roughly how much I should be paying for wheels huh? I'm surprised that all the other enthusiastic F owners haven't suggested any new wheels!

We were certainly thinking about it, but when we tried to, it didn't look as flush as I hoping for. The sharkfin is super awkward and would require a cut and a re application to the back of the sharkfin.

Thanks for the info, also I PM'd you. But what I didn't notice, on the thread you sent me, was that these wheels do not fit the F very well. I'm not looking to shave any fenders or anything like that.

yea those vossens look nice, but those are the wheels where it would not fit right with the ISF, so i then gave up on those wheels, even though the concave look in the rear is just baller.
