Rep Power: 0 sorry dude, but I don't like the rims... I can't tell from the pic if they're actually chrome, but if they aren't they sure look like it, and I don't like chrome..... but hey, the tint looks good! but you know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder... so if you like 'em then that's all that matters.....

Rep Power: 0 "is it me or do those rims look like they are on backwards, i would have them facing the other way "

those rims are made by enkei, the shogun series if i'm not mistaken. they make the spokes face clockwise and counter-clockwise. the look cleaner facing the other direction but it is still a real nice wheel

Rep Power: 0 Damn, I think I've seen those rims somewhere before. You should have took a front shot so you could have got the DIY lower grill in the pic. Car is starting to look good. Are you going to tint the front windshield. I' going to sell the Kaminari wing if you want to buy it. Call me later and maybe we can work a deal if you want it. CAR LOOKS GOOD

On the other side of the car, they ARE facing the other way. Directional spoked wheels are ALL forged in the same direction, hence they look like they are facing the wrong direction on one side of the car, while the other side looks just fine.
As for Konig's, you can have your tantrums. In my opinion, konigs are cheaply made. I've seen many a konig cracked, blemished, and just plain f*cked up under normal driving circumstances that are not stressful on any wheels.
As for the 18's... I'm not all about show, I'm all about go... Just my opinion, but 17's look just fine and 18's are just too damn heavy.
Also, directional wheels look so sweet when they are on a car and they pass you by. Usually that is what most people see anyways, me passing them... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
I got the Enkei Arashi's for $950 with tread.

Rep Power: 0 Ahh, well that kinda sucks that it looks different depending on what side of the car you were on. It would be nice if they had two facing one way and then two facing the other way where it looks the same from both sides. Oh well, to each his own. Still looks good man.

Rep Power: 0 Looks cool, needs to be lowered though - just kidding, my car needs to be lowered. I think the rims are different which IMO is cool. Can't wait till I get rims.
