just wondering.. why did you go with a 255/35 instead of 255/30 tire size? 255/30 has a closer diameter measurement to your 225/35.

i prefer to have a wheel that has more meat on it for better protection and better ride quality
if i could i would have gotten 225/40/19 up front but didnt want to run into clearance issues

was real close on gettin the 12' headlights but people are complaining about the bubble effect and moisture getting in, not sure i want to deal with that right now
also debating between just having my headlights painted gloss black with a tsx lens/projector retrofit
as for tints, for some reason im kinda diggin the no tints, it looks classy. im having my grille painted gloss black and along with my black wheels, i feel the tints might just be too much black all around

Can't wait to see the bbk installed. The red should really pop on your car.

You also need a set of red outs. That will really look good on your car.

red outs bother me, you can tell there is a overlay and the red overlay isnt a perfect match with the rest of the tail light. it would drive me crazy lol

Nice wheels! They are perfect for a BBK. For some reason, I thought these wheels were more concave. The wheel faces look pretty flat.
