i see what your saying some people might not like the brand name on the wheel but it dosent bother me much i mean really who is going to look at the wheel that much to notice it? especially when i paint them it wont be as visable. but for sure i will deff put pics up. i should have the wheels by wednesday and painted by sunday so just check back in like a week for update .

Good looking wheel! Love that you're getting them custom painted. I just bought a new set of wheels and will be getting them custom powder coated before they see tires. Eager for you're "after" pics!

Very classy wheel

Have you considered Black Chrome ?
I dont like chrome, but I think Black Chrome looks good.
I also highly recommend 245/40/18" tires, and lower your car from 1" to 1.5".

Looking forward to seeing your pics

I did Eibach lowering springs and did not like them at all. COILOVERS are the way to go.

I have only had Tein SS coilovers and LOVED them. I installed them myself and saved $350 for somebody else to install. Its easy with the DIY on this forum

There are several Coilovers on this website that are also great. Its up to you to do research and make a choice. I am so glad I finally took advice and went the coilover way. Springs SUCK

Some of their other wheels looks like an Advan RZ or RS wheel. Much easier price to swallow though.

Sorry man no way to delete threads you create. Only a mod can possible delete them or at best close them so people can't post in them anymore. If you want to start over you're just going to have to make a new thread.

Dude, no need to start over. Just keep going with this thread....even if you've completely changed wheels.
