Pics of new wheels, what do you think?

I really wanted to get Nissan center caps but they didn't freakin fit. Bummer. Looks like I'm stuck with the ATS ones.



More pics on the detailing board...

Thanks a lot guys!

Flowing with the car was exactly what I was going for...nothing that stands out TOO much.

As for 18's, I wanted to go with 18 but the roads in Boston are just really really really hurt right now. Way too many potholes that I have to try and avoid every day....with 18's it would be life and death.

Ha! It actually does look kinda floaty in that pic, but it's on H&R's....can't go much lower or get a lip or I literally won't be able to enter my driveway..I already have to hit it at an angle.

Looks nice! Almost Audi-ish.

I agree with getting rid of the amber signals though...they don't match anything else on the car.

It is lowered.

Thanks for the support on the orange. I dunno...I see what you guys mean about it not matching, but I've never liked the clear corners on a green car. Hmm...we'll see though...

My car is green (I call it Black Emerald) and I'm staying with the orange lenses. Kinda like the trend to white kitchen cupboards about 15 years ago, now every one is changing to dark. Better hang on to those orange lenses. They may be costly when you decide to toss out the clears, LMFAO!

Nope, H&R/AGX. I will probably be changing to Illuminas later this summer as the AGX's are clunking.

LMAO @ rmurdoch

Again, thanks for all the compliments everyone! I know they're a little on the small side, but they came out better than I had expected for deep dish 17's. I def wanted them to be kinda subtle too...not too flashy...and I think that's how they turned out.
