Those Weds Kranze Vishunu's are beautiful man. These are one of the best set sets I've seen for the 3GS! Nice touch!

I got the wheels ceramic coated with 3 layers CarPro C-Quartz and a layer of CarPro GLISS



326 Power Oretachi lug nuts


After adjusting all the arms to dial in the rear fitment the new wheels are finally on!

Looks great with the Weds. Are you dealing with any vibrations (at idle) with lowering the AWD?

thanks! At idle it doesn’t vibrate. But if it’s in drive it vibrates. When I’m stopped at a light I usually just leave it in neutral.

Brand new Kranze PTS cover, stem cap set, and black textured center caps (when picking them up, I was told these were the last new set in America) from Footwork Autosport.
