Well, I got the wheels sprayed today! Just got finished tearing the tape off of them. They look great! I love the Phantom black on them. I can think my g/f for the color. She suggested it! I cant wait to get them on and in the sun! Now the question is put the center caps in, or leave them out??







With center cap:

Without:

Doing a nose chop on a evo 8 bumper kinda defeats the purpose of having the evo 8 bumper in the first place no??

I really love the car/combination.

The house really steals the show though. That property is beautiful!

Wheels are on!!! They look a lot better than I was expecting. I am very happy with them! The stance is perfect on the BC coilovers. May go a little higher in the front, not sure yet. Started it up, pulled it outside and gave her the wash she has needed.

Enjoy!







Back in the garage nestled safely!
