New kicks

I ended up getting rid of my 19" wheels. I absolutely loved the look but I was sick of the uncomfortable ride. I decided to get some nice lightweight 18's so i could fit the 40 series tires and so i could get a much better ride. Thanks to another member on here i got some 18x7.5 Enkei NT03+m in the hyperblack finish. I love these wheels, so so so sexy. i believe they weigh about 17lbs each. I was shocked the first time i drove the car with these on there.... the ride was VERY much improved. I dont think i will ever be buying low profile tires again, it compromises too much of the car's comfort. Along with the new wheels i dropped the car another inch around, thanks to a higher offset i could tuck the wheels.

Thanks, the basic's are great. very easy to install and adjust ride height. The ride is also comfortable, but a bit off from the stock feeling.

MUCH better. Looks much more aggressive, now all you need is a lip kit.

I love the NT03's. I think you should powdercoat the wheels to like a gunmetal. That would be hot.

I couldnt aggree anymore, thats actually next on the list. i just sent off my ECU for a reflash so its probably going to be a couple weeks before a lip kit is going to be possible for me. I also love these wheels, the car drives SO much better than with my 19's. ALso a bit quicker throughout the RPM's. Never again will i recommend anybody to get anything lower than a 40 series tire.
