I still need to order tires, but I'll probably wait another month. I'll be ordering the A-Spec lip kit next.

Whenever I get something else for my car, I take my girlfriend out to dinner soon after. That way I can enjoy my car and make her happy since she's getting something for free

They are the chrome 18x 8.0 aspec, but i had them repainted to a almost gunmetal color to make a little contrast with the asm color.

I wish i could install a a_spec kit but where i live we have bad roads and im already rubbing the front bumper in most places so imagine with the kit.

I wasn't sure if I'd like black Aspecs but those look nice. Did you put a coat of clear on top of the Plasti Dip?
