Default First Time Posting Pics On CL!

Got these for myself as a little birthday present.. Showed up on the doorstep this afternoon!
It was getting dark so the pics kinda suck but yeah, more to come! Thanks to white_is for the tire help, I appreciate it!

I know it needs a drop and thats getting taken care of ASAP via some coils..

18 x 8/9 Work Vs-XX 'Silverstone' finish











Thats all for now, until I get a day off of work to clean it all up and snap some non-driveway pics!

Very nice! I just got a set not too long ago. What offsets did you choose? I went with 18x8/9+38. If you have rubbing issues after dropping your car, look at these two threads.

BTW, How long did you wait for yours to arrive?

Can't go wrong with the VS-XX! Once you drop your ride, it'll look much much better!

Looks very clean with those wheels. I like the 7k look of your low beam housing in the one pic that produces that purple hue glare.
