I love it! The blue goes well with the Starfire Pearl paint.

I am very happy with the TEs my last few vehicles I have ran HREs but I always wanted a set of TEs so I am glad I pulled the trigger on these.

Another Calgary IS-F! Looks good.
I picked up my ISF this summer as well, coincidentally I bought TE37s as well, luckily both with different colors.

To each his own but I never understood the flourescent wheels. It seems like a JDM trend that some are trying to mimmic . I see a guy around town in a nice GS with pink rims. WTF!

As long as the owner is happy and digs it ....

I would never do this myself in a million years because I prefer a steathy/understated look, but those two colors do go together very well.

The photographers style does look overly processed in some pictures but I do like them.

Gordo do you have any pictures of yours?

I actually wanted magnesium blue wheels they are a lot dark and don't pop as much which is more my style but I decided to live on the edge with the hyper blue. It's easy enough to have them painted if I decide I don't like it.

Specs are 19x8.5 +34 19x9.5 +35

Here is a picture from my phone.

I like it! It's bold and still stylish. I really like the perspective on the second and third shots.

I didnt get any great pictures as I picked up the wheels via trade right before the snow hit..
Pretty close in specs:
19x8.5 et27
19x9.5 et35

Undecided if I will keep the same color or change it up, as the paint has a few chips on the lip. If you are interested in some non-authentic SL decals I have a buddy that can print them locally as well.

Looks good, your fronts likely fit a little better than mine, I don't mind the way mine fit but I have some 5mm spacers in case I want to want to go flush I actually wish the rears were about +40 so I could get some wider tires on. I would be interested in some SL stickers, I was planning to get some can he also print the VOLK RACING stickers as well?

Looks great I have only seen 1 other ISF in calgary so it's good to see a few more and nicely modded ones at that. 4ever are your brakes painted? I have some gold paint sitting waiting for me to paint mine. I am winter driving it so I didn't go low yet, I have a friend with some H&R springs he is trying to sell me but I am likely going to go with coilovers.
I know a guy in edmonton with an USB ISF he said he knows of two others in Edmonton with ISFs we should have a little get together in the spring
