and show those wheels already

AnthraciteAspec: for sure!!!!! we need to have a hre wheel photo =] i love your wheels, my bro in law has it for his benz. if he didn't i would've debated on picking up the 543r!

CLtotheTL32: lol yep sorry for the slow progress =\. i want to at least drop my car and then reveal the wheel, dont want to show it being 4x4 =[

wasupdog: you will see it when the times come =] put a smile on!

djflex167: yea its a pretty penny, but i wanted something different that not many will have. i have yet to see anyone rocking this exact wheel on another japanese make car. i only found 2 bmw with it and one benz online.

AtlM5: i debated on performance mod first but then it is my daily and i want to keep the engine as stock as possible minus small bolt on. the reason for the wheels was because my tire was wearing out and i needed new tires, so it was somewhat of kill of 2 birds with one stone.

contact excelerateperformance.com for 2 things...

That photochop looks amazing. Perhaps raise it back slightly higher and put on an aspec kit?

thanks for the reply, Hre made these before the work t1s when i was doing some research on these wheels. the main difference i found out about the hre and the t1s is that the t1s has 5 extra hole in the middle while the hre doesnt.

enigmaos, i wish i can get some air runner but i am not ready for those. i have to start saving money for a house =\

CLtotheTL32, ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, you dont know how much i hate this 4x4 stance=[

Dougboy, i will get a aspec kit after my drop =] and i realized the rear is dropped a bit too much in the photoshop also.
