My vic in summer mode finally !!!
So I finally got another set of summer rims. Originally, I wanted bronze Rota subzero's, but the shop I was dealing with took way too long to get them.
I went over to Tires23, and got myself a set of Enkei RSV in Bronze, wrapped in Yoko Es100's.
Here's my some pics on the new look.
Now here comes the best part of my day. I just put these rims on today, not even half a day goes by, and the following happens.
I rear ended by a VW jetta. It was a pretty nice Jetta too. I'm going to need a new right tail light, because part of it is cracked (you can't see it in the picture). I might need a new bumper, depending if its cracked or not. The trunk, I'm not sure if they can bend it back.
I got the worst luck with this car.
. I've had my car for 2 years, and I've rear ended someone, someone rear ends me, I got my stock si rims stolen in front my damn house, what else is going to happen.
Bad stuff always happens to me, so I guess I gotta live with it.

IMO those look better on coupes than subzeros, which would have still looked nice anyway. Good choice on the colour too.
Too bad about the rear-ending but keep in mind since you got rear-ended it's pretty much entirely the jetta driver's fault, so no impact to you. Good luck getting it fixed, The trunk shouldn't be too bad to fix. Again doesn't matter cause it's not your wallet or insurance paying for it anyway. Just make sure to take your rims off and put on steelies or stockers before you go to the bodyshop, some of them store the cars outdoors at night.....

no aftermarket bumper, cause I won't change the front bumper either, and I think it'll look funny with just a rear aftermarket bumper.
