the real emotions no fake stuff over here...lol yeah i need to move to hawaii then cause i'm sick of the winters here in new york..

I thought about doing type s tails but decided not to put them on cause alot of other people where doing it.so now the base tails are more unique then the type s in my opinion..

Two proper sets of wheels. Nice choice for winter no pitting for the north east salt dump!

Work wheels in the winter FTW.

I am partial to the red tails think they look great on the AM.

Props on having anthracite on anthracite wheels year round....I know those style wheels are the hottest thing out nowadays, to be honest, personally I am not a big fan. It doesn't look bad though. As for me I'll be using my A-Spec gunmetals for the winter......much better than the stockies! I opted for Goodyear F1 All-seasons on 245s instead of Blizzacks. Not as good as true snows but I think I'll do OK. Did you put snows on yours?

thanks and i know this style is not for everybody but thats why i like it ....no offense to anyone but their seems to be alot of cars that look to much alike on here.. i just like to be alittle different

as far as tires go i have falken 912's and i've had them before on other cars in the winter.. they do very well in the snow

updated pics!!!!!

ok so i was'nt really feeling the no center cap look so i ordered a set of honda s2000 caps. then i added a 5mm spacer on all 4 wheels to get the clearance needed for the center caps. so the wheels are 18x8.5 with a 38 offset now with 5 mm spacers making them a +33 and alittle more flush....

let me know what you guys think
