    Enkei Evo 5 in Hypersilver. 17x7 35mm offset. A tiny bit lighter than stock. 18.5 lbs each.

    Took 2 minutes to take pictures on my way home. Car is dirty, but you get the idea! I love them! Messed around with photobucket in the editing thing for a couple of minutes and added borders as you can see.

    Wheelsnext gave me the wrong hubrings. The outer diameter was fine and matched the rim, but they gave me a 54.06mm for the inner and it needs a 57.10. :tardbang: Tried to get ahold of them but no one answered. I shall call tomorrow.

    On with the picts.

    I am considering on selling the tail lights and just putting the stockers back on. I believe these don't really flow with the car anymore due to my wheels not being black. (Thank God)
    It would be sick to colormatch them like that HakNslash dude does. But I really don't want to disassemble them and mess up. $$$

    Should I put the stockers back on, or keep the black LED's?

    I am leaning towards the stockers personally since they are clean and there isn't much going on with them.

    You could always black-out the trunk...then the lights would flow. *wink, wink* :lol:

    It would only take 10 min to chance, then post a pic with the stock lens to have a side by side comparison.

    The wheels look great on the car. I would just keep the black LED's. I have them on my car and love them.

    The wheels look great. I think I'd keep the tails. Look good to me.

    Thanks for the photochops once again! Choosing wheels is tough and to find them in the right price range, at the right place is difficult. I ended up spending more than I wanted. After what "C" Love told me in my one thread in the rim/tire section about not getting cheap wheels and how you will regret them etc etc. I chose to dive in with a better rim.

    Thanks for all the nice comments. :love:

    Very correct. Changing out the tail lamps in these cars is cake. I will do it tomorrow and see how I like it. If it was night time all the time the LED's would always be on because they look great during the night. But during the day having a nice red tail light, is pretty sick. I seem to see a BUNCH of people with the black LED's and its an attention getter. I like keeping my car as OEM looking as I can, adding subtle changes here and there.

    I am on the borderline with my exhaust and rolled rear bumper. Since the SEE is the best free flowing exhaust you can get, its awesome performance wise of course. But... it just hangs a bit too low and needs to be modified or routed to the back to a single tip.

    Curious to see what whitefwdsm and his cherbear have in store with their concept rear diffuser.... The emptiness in the rear from the rolled rear bumper gets to me at times.
