New pics of my car

Since some of you don't go in the other sub forums I thought I would post it in here for you.

Ok ok, rims are for sell. I need to go with the triple gold dip 100 spoke wheels. I also need the P-spec chain steering wheel and the curb feelers.

Samir, I got them on sell. The rims ran $1285 and I got them from http://www.spyeng.com. The tires are Toyo Proxes 4.

XjoenX, yes they are Axis but they are 19’s

Alpswd, no they where not the limited edition ones from wheelsnext. I bought them and had them painted black.

Are you asking what 17 inch after market rim will fit your car? Or are you talking about tires?

Is the lip the same in the front as in the back? If not I question the reasoning behind staggared wheels on a FWD. The rims are really quite nice though.

No the lip in the back is bigger than the front. I couldn’t fit the bigger lip in the front because it would hit the break caliper. Could I have put the smaller lip in the back to match the front? Yes, but I like the staggered lip look.

I understand you questioning the reasoning behind the staggered wheels on a FWD car because there is really no reason for it beside looks. But what was the reasoning of you putting a wing on your car? It was for the looks of course. We all know that it doesn’t do anything but add weight but you like the way it looks. At that’s what really counts.

We fix our cars up the way we like them to look for us and not for everyone else. If we did it for everyone else we would constantly be changing our cars looks every 2 hours. I know a lot of people don’t like the look of the black rims on a black car. But I do and that’s why I went with them. If I am going to be spending $2300 on rims I am going to be damn sure that I like the look of them.

By the way you TL looks pimp and keep up the good work. I also like your avatar. You need one that say Balut and him holding an egg. Or some dinuguan.

If you can send me your avatar full size if you have it. That would be a cool ass shirt.
