Teaser till I get the car washed and tires lubricated. Damn my tires are ashy. The wheels are the new Raven Black Diamond cut machined face Legends in 19". I got these Cooper tires as part of a deal, but they look kinda bubly on the sidewall. Still, the wheels look like 20"!. I like the look, more pics soon!

Oh and I got the same short shifter that Lipstuh got, it makes me enjoy driving stick more so.

More pics in a few, and the shifter is so tight, it feels like a 350Z shifter if you've ever driven one. Once I get the new plastic piece around the cupholders reinstalled, I'll adjust my e-brake and be set.

These are nice, but they are temporary, I am going to have the DT3's refinished some crazy scheme. So I'll be selling these soon.

here are some quick shots I took in front of the RonJon warehouse.

I like the updated pics.

No offense...but I like the way these wheels look up close versus at a distance.

Devotions FTW.

Yeah, My car actually rides quite smooth now. I was slammed before on my 01, but it rode like shiat. Don't worry, the DT3's are going back on in the summer with a whole new paint scheme.

Yeah, here's a close up. I've painted the mesh black since then:

Thanks for the closeup pics.

I'm really considering getting these "peon" roadlamps yanked out.

I can't even begin to express how these wheels look so different at night. Here are a few attempts to show the split personality these wheels have:
