Update!
Its been a while since I updated on here, so I thought I'd give a little teaser. (Sorry for the large pictures..trying to fix it but they won't some reason.)
How it was setup around last Christmas time.
I wasn't happy about the look at all. Also I was sort of mad I settled on the Rota Grids, especially Time attack. So I decided to sell them and here I am now.
Got rid of the amber side markers and the es tails with amber signal. Now I have the depo taillights and clear side markers. Felt the look was better and cleaned it up. Also keep a lookout on my rear window visor and window visors will most likely be for sale. Literally cleaning the look up and keeping it simple.
Ok for the TEASER! =P
Rims are still not on because one of them needs a new valve stem, so I had to special order that.
They should be on by next week though so I'm excited. Now I'm just saving up for a new spoiler (won't say what which I've decided on, to many people going wingless...lol) and COILOVERS! Ugh I want coilovers so bad but I probably wont get that until Christmas.
Rims are Stern 5 spoke rims, Some skylines came with the Stern 5 spokes and some were imported and even used on the foxbody mustangs. Anyways these are pretty rare and I got them straight from Japan. Enjoy!

They were 17x7.5 +45 with a 20mm spacer in the rear. I was running 215/45 tires. With the Stern setup, Ill be running 17x8 +34 with 215/40.
I was thinking smoked side markers but I don't think it will flow with the look I'm going for. You have a pic of them?

Raikiri is right about them being built in stud type of spacers. I ran them with the stock wheels for a little but you'll need to roll the fenders. The fronts would need like a 10 or 15 mm spacer tO make them more flush.

Hey nc_ any update on the wheels or the wing? I'm curious to see what it looks like and I saw your tails on the other members (don't remember his handle) white RA. I think i might get some ES tails and swipe that idea. I think they looks so dope.

As for the tails, they look awesome but I was just switching up the look.
Thanks! I can't wait to get them on the car!

Hey guys sorry for the late reply I've been in the fields I dI'd get the Stern wheels put on and they look great I'm just waiting to go lower also I'm going back to stock wing for now.
Raikiri yeah 12x12 is plenty just have to use a razor to the excess off or cut where you want the amber. Its easy
Ill get a pic up soon but I'm not happy with it. I should have had coilovers already and the setup I want on the car but I decided to go with the rare sterns. That is why I haven't posted pics because I'm not happy with the way it looks right now.

here are the pics as promised. Sorry it took so long guys, I was always busy and couldn't get the car washed.
A lot of pictures but I basically did a walk around except for the front...sigh I want the RRM lip already. Anyways going back to my stock wing and getting rid of the rear window visor. Next should be coilovers, than RRM front lip and Rexpeed Evo8/9 side skirt extensions and that should complete my look.
