Default I've been a little busy (gold is gone!)

Finally got some stuff rolling on the car. Did wheels, tires, hid's, exhaust, and shifter mod.

The wheels are XXR 507 18x9.5 all around 225/40

Before



After

So I took the gold off this afternoon and painted the calipers...sucked cause it was really hot but worth it I think..Took some quick shots, i'll get some day time pics up soon.

Working on getting some coils and spacers for the rear ASAP.
















Updated Pics on 2nd page!!!

Wow! I'm not feeling the wheels at all..All that matters is if you're happy with them! Congrats! IMO, the OEM ones look much better..

Could be better with some fatter tires (245-255/40) out back and maybe a 5mm spacer.
Congrats though, looks good.

The gold is bolted on and comes off. Underneath is just a gloss black or i can paint the gold pieces another color or w.e just have them on there now trying to feel out the looks of it. this is how the wheels look without the gold kit.

take the gold off and ride with the knight rider lower that thing and add some spacers and your good to go, but the gold imo makes it look a little cheap but to each his own other than keep up the work
