Hey guys, don't knock the black rims just yet. Maybe he has a ton of CF treatments planned, which IMO, would work really good w/ black. Besides, pics normally don't do our cars justice. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG] (Almost all the pics have the rims in the shadows, so where there should be rims looks like a black hole in a picture).

Looks good so far.

Looks allright. Seen it many times before though. The Revo Technica SS makes your shifter look way low! Mine isn't as low as yours. Must be the different shift *****. I don't like painted calipers though. Powder coated yes, painted no.

I think it looks nice, but as Grey said your shifter looks too low, something funny about it as with your pedals. They don't seem to look right maybe turning the wrong way or something. Otherwise I like the ride, for the wheels I don't see anything wrong with em, just your likes. I would prefer silver though

I like everything ecept for the color of the rims. I have the rota subs as well but silver and in 15in. The silver subs would have really made the car look nice. It's just hard to see the black rims from any distance really. However, if you like em then they look great!

Hwoody77---------->How do you like the tuner lugs. I have a set sitting here on my desk and I am debating whether to put them on. Do all the sets have the same hex key thing or are they different? Any problems with rust or anything from the open ended design?

You guys are missing the point... those rims are more function over fashion. The Rota Sub-Zero's are one of the lightest rims on the market.

quick question man, just out of curiousity, what does that say on your front windshield.. all i can make out is EXPLO....... something.
oh yea, ... im liking the rims but then again, i do think it would compliment your car alot better if they were a lighter finish, but then again it probably looks many times better in person. keep it up yo.
