New wheels for 03VQMAX.

Well, since I've never post pictures of my ride might as well do it now that I have something to really show. Nothing out of this world. More pics to come(with a wash), took these really quick to start off the thread. AND YES BC COILOVERS ARE ON THE WAY FOR THE DROP

.

17" Enkei Ekm3 Gunmetal +38 wrapped in 235/45-17 Hankook Ventus V12.

**Updated** Pics after a wash(sorry, nowhere near the average photographer).

Online, Yes I'll be getting spacers soon. I only bought 17" wheels because I month earlier I bought brand new tires for the stocks. Then changed my mind and saw these wheels that I like.

I hear a screeching noise on a dip, from passenger rear, could be something else?. Oh the FSTB i fixed, I just had to remove a bolt from the airbox and leave that way, due to the bolt of the fstb blocking it.

I think the noise is the bottom of the spare tire scraping on a dip, I just bottomed out today on a nasty hill, went in too fast

Alright, I'm done modding for now. Washed, lowered and finished. Too bad the sun wasn't out to see my shininess. By the way, the squeaking noise hitting dips is my exhaust
