My wheels turned black. =(
I already posted in the member's rides, but either 1)6th genners don't really check there, or 2)6th genners don't care for my ride. I'm hoping it's not the second one, hahaha. Mods, if you think this is a double post, I apologize and please delete this one.
The rims are 20" x 8.5" Zinik Minardis with a +42 offset. Tires are 245/35 General Exclaim UHPs. In case anyone asks, tails are tinted with bluebatmobile overlays in 6/10 smoke, heads in 3/10 smoke, and grill blacked with blackout tape. And yes I plan on lowering, lol.
Wheels are kinda hard to see so here's a close-up.

Beautiful! Looks crisp!
Before someone flames you, I'll gently remind you that they are bound to come in here and tell you that this belongs in the 'Members Rides' section.
I personally don't care. I wouldn't have seen it down there, because I don't frequent that part.
Nice looking whip!

Thanks for the compliments everybody, especially from those with heavily modded max's. You guys really set the bar high.
4MySwee: Yeah, I know this belongs in the 'members ride' section. I already posted it there, but I wasn't really getting any feedback from 6th genners, so I decided to post it here. That's why I said in the beginning I apologize if this is a double post, hahaha.
Ankit69: I had 5% on the rears on my last car, and I just got tired of not being able to see behind me. That, and the interior is black so it makes the tint look darker than it is. As for the fronts, I can't really go any darker without risking being pulled over, so 50% will have to do. Oh, and the =( was just sarcastic, lol.
And to all the picture ****** that are mentioning I need to lower my car, I stated in the first post I'm going to lower it in the future, hahahaha. It's cool, I'm a picture ***** as well. =)

Yeah the main difference is the road noise from 20's, the Eibachs ride pretty smooth, well worth the gap removal!
Of course I went a step furthur and have negative gap on coilovers, not such a smoth ride...

Nice rims, I was gonna get these in chrome but then got turned off after the guy told me that chrome rims require "more" maintenance. your's are not chrome so you wouldn't have that problem.
BTW, NICE RIMS!!!

The guy at the shop told me that chrome requires that you apply some sort of protecting stuff so that the salt doesn't eat the chrome. He showed me some rim that somebody brought back after like 2 years and the whole lip was blistered. Maybe cheap rims, maybe lack of maintenace, I don't know; but it turned me off. Me living in NY, there is more salt on the road then there is snow, therefore alloys were pretty much the only option.
Cheers
