Then you will be disappointed.... I don't pay extra to have whatever brand is the current trend. There's a reason BBS went through bankruptcy not long ago, you can get the same look and quality at a 1/4 of the price

thanks guys


and Strat - No I'm not really gonna get back into cross, I have more than enough hobbies already, hiking, biking, watersports, car cruise/meets, a fiance, photography, cleaning/maintaining my house, ect.. I just don't have the time to throw in another thing that takes up a good portion of my day off. But a few guys from work get together and go out auto-Xing once a twice a year so I may join them, same thing with the drag strip. Nowadays I prefer my racing to be on 2 wheels down a foot wide path winding through trees over rocks and roots with me as the motor

I love how aggressive it looks. As usual, you've got a car full of good quality parts and have done things right.

Looks great man ill give you props. I like your taste in modding. I know you hate tire shine, but try the new mcguiers endurance. It sprays on real thick then you whipe it back off. It just leaves the tire looking new not shiny. With the new wheels I have to do that or I fling tire shine down the side of my car.

Wheels showed up, I have mixed feelings after seeing them in person. My only real complaint is the spoke design actually sticks out from the wheels, something that doesn't show up in all the pics I've seen. Anyways, they are 18x8 with 45mm offset Tenzo R Type M Version 1 in bronze, they are considerably lighter than the stock wheels.

It's always bugged me when the spokes stick out from the face of the wheel as well, my Nexos do, but oh well.

No need to have mixed feelings about the wheels though, those are HOT.



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

I'm kinda on the fence as well. I think if they had 1 less spoke to allow the spokes to be bigger and fuller I might like them more. BUT, they are considerably better than those hideous stock wheels, so nice upgrade!


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

At the first look I wasn't sure about the new wheels but now the more I look at them I think they're perfect!!! Pics from other angles would be great.

An even tint all around would be nice too I think.

Sunday I went to a local performance shops open house specifically because they had a tint shop letting you sign up to get contacted with a discount voucher. I'm waiting to hear back from them.

Really like where you are going with this car. Simple mods that work and do not take away from the car at all.
