More pics:





FYI - my digi-camera sucks and does strange things with colors. The car is Black, and not the bluish color that it appers in some of the pictures.

hey man.....nice ride. One thing.....i think you should put the rims you had on the blue gxe on to the se. Those momos are VERY heavy, probably would cancel out some of the mods made to the car. Really...i think like 50lbs with the tires. My n/a z rims 16x7.5 are around 40lbs with tires.

Thanks! The blue gxe had Konig Monsoons. They are gonna be for sale in the next week or two, as are the Momo's. I don't really think there for me.

[Edit]
Oh, Mike, I know there heavy! I just took them off the car tonight in favor of the SE wheels (for winter) and had to carry all four up three flights of stairs. My back is letting me know just how heavy they are!

I'm thinking of getting OZ F1 Cups...



Yummy!

I want those OZ's too. Oh well, you'll probably get them before I do and I want to be different.

Well, I won't be doing anything about rim's until Spring starts to roll around. I just put the stock SE wheels on tonight, and there gonna stay there until winter is over.

I'm also considering these:



The ever popular Kosei Wheels. 17X7.5 doesn't sound quite as nice as 18X8, but they must be lighter than the OZ's. Anyone know any weights on the OZ F1 cups? I have yet to find any information...

Sweet, thanks. 23.5 isn't that bad for a 18" wheel. Who knows, maybe if things go right I'll get a set of those and a pair of 15" Koesi's for racing...there only like $140 at tirerack.

I dunno Bill. This car is quiter, has no rattles and is much, much smoother than my GXE. Yes, I know the GXE is Neptune Blue, but that's the only thing that it had going for it. It rattles, has crazy wind noise, and feels like work to drive at times.

For now, in my own little world, I have a maxima, and no on can convince me otherwise.

Nice car. I hope it's as quick as your GXE. So you're going for the whole black out treatment too, huh I love my K1s. I've only got the 16s because I wanted as light as possible (15 lbs). The good thing about the K1s is that they look much bigger than they really are. Many people mistake them for 17s.

Here's a pic.

See, that doesn't bother me at all. I don't care if I look like someone else, just that I like the car the way looks and feels.

Hell, I've Konig Monsoons on my 97 and tons of people have them, but I love them and thats all I cared about.
