That is a classy set up. Thumbs up for sure. I think 18s offer the car the most balance between sporty and bling, and your wheel choice is perfect for that effect.

I think the colored lugs would be a waste of money. I don't think $200 is justifiable for such a minor adjustment that may look tacky. The way I see it, a car with wheels that sharp and an exhaust that mean looking has no place for colored lugs...especially if they are going to cost you to acquire them.

By the way, $1050 is sick. I envy your connections.

Looks clean! Though, I'm not sure why you had to roll anything. You have plenty of room between your car and the tire. Now, depending on your future drop you may have issues, but it looks plenty safe right now. I can't even stick my finger between my tire and my car and I didn't have to roll mine.

ok ok i wont do the lugs! haha

and thanks for all the props guys, i really appreciate it, ill respond to ur pm a bit later blizzy, i have a hangover from last night and i have to manage rock climbing in 30 minutes with my friend... but dont worry i haven't forgotten

and bout the rolling thing, it must just be the angle bc the guy wouldn't lie to me at the place about needing to roll it

the setup ended up costing 2500 and i got it for 1050 bc i kno the dude, he did the rolling for free so its not like by telling me i needed it he was making money by any means, u kno?
