my new rims

here's some shots of my new rims ...

-SSR competitions 17x8.5 - Anthracite.... (under 16lbs weighted)
-muteki lug nuts..... (half the weight of stock lugnuts)




i know theres still the wheelgap in the front but rims werent cheap, cant go for coilovers just yet and i will not resort to cheapo tein springs...

Yep, wheel gap sucks. That reminds me, I need to order my springs.

Nice wheels and bumper.

BTW, Evo 7 tails look great on silver. Totally worth the money if you're looking for another cosmetic mod to do.

good choice! the width will aid handling while the size retains your acceleration and has less rotational mass than a 18. while the difference between the 2 can be agrued as slim from a lightweight 18 in rim,it's benifits are apparent to hardcore auto-xer's and track ****** : D a drop and some vii tails and you'll be set ! looking good so far

Drop it, add evo 7 tails, and then black out the headlights to complete the exterior.
