I know MONDO has some and he likes em... Seem to be holding up well from what he tells me. And he bought his used and repainted from someone who had em for a while also. Seen em in person. Look gret! And PERFECT FIT and stance with 18s staggered with 20 or 25+ offsets...Can't remember.

Hmmmm...I know, I thought about that but could not find my stock lugs anywhere and I live right down the street from the shop, so I was good for now to park it. I haven't driven since and now I can look a lil more round the crib and go to the storage to search in my misc TL boxes.

I know, right! The stocks do look sharp. I think for now I am going to throw some spacers on just to bring em out closer to the edges, nothing dramatic. And sub should be here Mon-Tues. But I'm still trying to sell my amp so I can upgrade to the arc audio amplifier.

Spacers make a huge difference too. If your going to get a new set of wheels soon I wouldn't worry too much with the spacers.

Hopefully you can get that new amp soon.

I just finished installing the deadner in my car. Wiring is all thats left and I will start that when I get some more free time. I removed all the carpet and installed CCF/MLV on the floors. Made a huge difference, and man those front seats are HEAVY!

I really don't know how long it's going to take me or how fast I'm going to get new wheels besides the ones listed in the previous post not too long ago I have also been talking to this other guy in Florida about his Gram Lights. He has a2g but he posted pictures from the previous owner who had the black 3g and they look amazing!

Your car looks good, even on stockies. Dip them black and you could really make that look work.

As for the above rims, those XD9s are sexy!

Yeah, I like those to...Not too many ppl with here on AZ. I saw one kid who has em 19x9.5 or 10s all 4 corners. Looks DOPE! And I think the NBP would make it even better letting them stand out a lil more.

I would never do blk stockies...Maybe gunmetal. I have seen that and that looks really good! Dude did the duplicolor rattle can for wheels. LOOKED BAD ASS! My apts where I use to live, a kid did his BMW wheels the same and I swore he was lying and had em powder coated. He went inside and showed me the empty cans of Duplicolor gunmetal. I was amazed!

I thought you learned your lesson about getting cheap/knockoff wheels that you're not in love with the first time around!?!?

IMO, this round you either keep them stock with spacers, or get a quality wheel that makes your d*ck hard.

I completely agree with Jeremy.....

dude am not feeling any of those rims....get some Varsotoens (how the fark every you spell it) or some nice Enkei's or XXR's....you can get a nice set with tires for 1500-1800....

if you are getting volks/works, then get ready to spend a good 4K on rims + tires....CE28N/TE37/LE37/etc

Yeah, but you are forgetting my #1 choice that is actually still in the werks... The WORK VS-XX's double chrome. Those make my dk HARD!

The thing is with me, I really don't want wannabee's either... Including Vorresteon (spelling...same here swoosh! lol!) And that is exactly what they do. They same TE37 knockoffs that Drag, Rota and XXR... So what makes them so much more expensive? I am just hoping to score a really nice used set.

#1 ~ 19in WORK VS-XX

#2 18in RAYS GramLights

Both here on AZ.
