Oh my God! There they are! LE37Ts in glossy black!

What are those...18s? The red lugs will be fine, as well as the blue or black. doesnt really matter.

Do you have any more pictures of the entire car?

....havent saw the blue ones in person yet, i didnt like them because in the pics it looks like light teal, maybe its just cuz of the pics, but if they were dark blues, then that would be cool

and yeah your car would look sick with black rims since u got the tailights done and the emblem

Whats so good about ray's? Why are they so friggin expensive?

Found some Zenki forged aluminum tuner lugs that look interesting. .6 ounces (rays are .8) that are about half the cost.

What AzNGR81 is saying is " you are buying the name"

and I have seen lugs split...so a quality lug is the one to go with

...here it is with the red lug nuts, looks flashy during the day and looks sick at night since the red wont be as bright but more of a dark red

...i like how the red actually matches the outer red of the volk center cap and also the fact that it spins red circles while in motion lol

hey wats size are your tires .. coz i have 18' TE's but im looking for a 245/35/18 tire but its really hard to find... i want the 35 series to make the rim look better, but all i can find is toyo T1-R, GoodYear Eagle F1's and the Pirelli Rosso .... but all those tires are sooooo expensive..
BTW ... your car = Hot Fire =)

If it were my car, I'd stay with the chrome or get black. The red clashes with the colors your car has.

...my tires are 225/40ZR18

yeah tires are expensive, if its all season tires then maybe spending a lot on it wouldnt be that bad, u should try to ask a local car shop to see if they can special order some tires

...actually before the stock silver ones in the first pic, it had the ray's black extended lug nuts, just thought it was time for a change, in a few months i may switch it to black again but this time using the regular size, non-extended

...yeah red looks busy but it cools down in the night lol, better if u saw it in person rather than the pics

...i think it clashes the most with the amber headlights, however i think it matches a bit with the back side lights and tail lights

...i would have stuck with the stock silver ones but it doesnt have wheel locks on it

IMO, black lugs would have def. went with the rims and rest of the car better. Im sure they look coo at night though.

NVM. There's no such thing as the SE37. I have the LE37 too. hahah. My mistake.

Just curious, why did you drop it .1" lower in the rear? Don't people usually drop it lower in the front?

...haha yeah i was wondering what they were, well i dropped it that way because the Tein S-Tech Springs come that way, its a good thing because the stock rear is higher than the stock front, it also looks good like that, i wouldnt want to drop the front too much because that would make me even more worried about scrapping the front lip, a lot of people have complimented my drop
