What do you guys think? They are Axis Reverbs, 18x8.5 with Pilot Sport 2s. Only weighed about 19.7lbs, and 42lbs with the tires/nuts. So despite the increase in inertial mass going to an 18, the drop of 4-5lbs per corner makes it seem no different than stock.
Next up is some EvoDave headlights and some coilovers.

Yeah, I'm going to go with a set of coilovers as soon as I decide which ones. Possibly the KSports from GSC. I won't slam it though, as I don't care for that look. But an inch or maybe 1.5" would be perfect. However, I'm mainly interested in coilovers to reduce the center of gravity and eliminate some body roll.
Once I get my headlights blacked out I think it will be uber stealth.
Thanks!

Yup. Open it in any picture editor of you have trouble reading it, it's a UK Evolution VIII badge.
The decals on the side are from Machevo. Just dark grey decals that say "evolution VIII" in the same font as the UK badge (which I have on the back). I think the decals on the side were like $8 each so I said WTF if I don't like them no big deal. But, I think it looks decent.
Thanks guys. It'll definitely be lowered a bit in the next few weeks.
EDIT: They're $9 for two and are available here:

Good idea!!!
i am just so stupid that didn't think about it.



. Lowering it a tad wouldn't hurt though.
