New Wheels - 1999 KH3 SE
I finally got around to putting the new wheels on, bought in November from Daysce. They are 18" Mille Miglia Evo5's wrapped with 235/40/18 Kumho Ecsta Supra's. All feedback is welcomed.

It is tinted 35% on the sides, 25% on the rear. Haha, the lighting in these pictures doesnt do much justice. Im dropped about 2" all around.

Thanks man. How is your car coming? Spacers might come at a later time if I can justify spending money on them...haha.
I had a purchase on a Cattman catback that fell through, but the tip I had on there all last year fell off... I bought a new one today but didnt get a chance to put it on yet.
The car is still in need of a detail (clay/polish/wax, paint calipers, exhaust tip, clean windows, interior detail too). NE winters suck...
And thanks for all the positive comments!

Wow, looks good. I agree with the tip statement, but you already addressed that. When I'm not at school, I live really close to Wrentham, and yes, the winters/road salt is really bad for keeping a car clean there.

Thank you
Yea, it has finally settled to about 2 fingers in both the front and back. I am really happy with the results.

This is from last summer...there is now a VAFC-II mounted on the ashtray and I have a different radar, hardwired up near the rearview mirror. I have also installed the I30 Autodimming mirror and leather ebrake handle. AE pedals with the 350z dead will be going in soon too.
Thank you!
I told ya...haha. I'm looking forward to the meet on the 10th. Hope to see everyone there. How is the Boston Vee Party coming along?
Trust me, I would have gone darker if I could have gotten away with it. Living in MA with 35% legal limit sucks, but I would rather do legal than have to deal with cops.

Haha, I know all the codes but the RS6FS1A one. I am definitely going to paint the calipers when the weather gets warmer, and they will most likely be black to match the rest of the car.

Believe it or not, they are only (guessing) around 10 lbs heavier than stock, per wheel. I know that they weigh 24 lbs each without tires. I definitely noticed slower braking, and maybe a little when accelerating...maybe its just me though. It is worth it to me, I will just swap the stocks when I go to the strip.

your car looks really really nice man. Not too much going on but just enough to catch someone's eye, which in my opinion, is the way modding should be done. I even liked your car when you had the OEM rims on haha...very tastefully done sir
