New Wheels............AGAIN

So i was able to get my new rims/tires on today and decided to give the car a quick wash tonight. Here are a few pics I snapped. I'm not sure if I'm liking the red stripe, might see about getting a white one on there.

If you get rid of the stripe, you have to repaint your centercaps, too. It looks OK...but I liked your previous rims (ADR and Kosei) better. Now you can keep your red Rays lugs and use 'em!

Thanks, i liked the ADRs alot too. Red Rays were sold a while ago, won't fit on these wheels i don't think either.

lol, not rusted, just wet..Extension was definitely a good idea, i'll be down there every week washing the car. No rubbing, but can't go any lower, you know my driving lol.

I think they compliment the "theme" of your car...what perch setup (front and rear) are you running on your konis?

Looks nice. Keep the red or otherwise, as princely said, paint the center cap as well.

White striping would probably look real good, and a little more unique. Definitely get some better pics because like Al said, there is a ton of detail on that car that's not showing up. Great looking car.

Did you get the mirror signal overlays from batmobile (or whatever the username is)? I've been thinking about doing that to mine....makes those lenses flow better with the sidemarkers and window tint.

Thanks, i think the other set - up was shaking either because of the spacers up front, or because they are not balanced correctly..Could also be because i am running 1 different tire in the rear.

Offset is 35. LOTS of BBK clearance.

Thanks, i was looking on eBay, they sell white stripes for rims, and i could just black out the center caps.

Yea, i should have used flash, but i just took them real quick. As for the mirror tint, i bought some spray tine from eBay, up close it looks kinda bad/dull.

Well i would've left the type-s emblem off, but i had to let people know what's under the hood lol. and i was going to paint the emblem black, but i thought white would look better, i just know i didn't wanna keep it chrome.

Your car pulls these wheels off nicely. On a stock WDP I would say no way, but yours is pretty damn sick so they work.

The wheels look hott the red stripe matchs nicely with the type s emblem and for the guy that suggested getting white wheels i just think with white wheels it would be too much white. Anzbenz had it on his white tl and i thought it was too much. But thats my opinion but ur car as a whole is lookin nice keep it up.

James, I think they look good too. I know most guys don't like this, but MAYBE consider a red pinstripe on the car-to set off what you've done with your wheels and tire.

Thanks. I thought about white wheels but i didn't wanna over do it, i figured the black would be a good switch up.

idk, I've seen some pin stripes on TLs, doesn't look too bad, but red might be a little tacky.
