Nice touch already. Car looks good man. Loving the black rims. Much better than the other.

How impressive a car can be with just a bit of elbow grease to bring it back to life :)..... how stiff are those stance coilover's? Love the wheels! whats in store for it?

IanWatson 09-01-13 07:51 PM

Well I had 2 set of these wheels come in so i still gotta swap the faces of the white ones to the grey , so its sitting on 18x10.5+17 up front and 18x10.5+12 in the rear , waiting on tires to come in to play around with the fitment
