quick shots of my new mods I just got the new rims and tires, fog light and sidemarker installed yesterday.
Enkei OR52 gunmetal w/ Falken Zeix ZE512 tires (205/40/17)
OEM replica fog light kit (wire harness is burnt out, stupid ebay)
Sidemarker
What do you guys think about the sidemarker? looks stupid or ricey? not sure if i really like the black trim sidemarker... but the rims and mud flap is black so kinda match... i think i will have to get the DC5 in the future... but now it's installed with hyper white light bulb.. it's so bright at night.. hehe
Fog light is installed but not functional yet because the wire harness is burnt out.. but i will be having the nokya yellow bulb... (don't want to do the lamix yellow film because my headlight is clear)
The ride is SOOOO MUUUCH better now with the Falken tires (I had the Kumho tires before)... I'm really happy with the rims and tires
The car is really dirty now and I haven't had time to clean and install the hyper coil ground kit from gearbox yet... once the weather gets warmer here in chicago, i'll have some day and night photoshoot...
EDIT: I will lose the wing some day...

the rims look amazing. sidemarkers well ricey. i think you should keep clear since the headlights are also cleared, but go with the j-spec ones. they look much better. these are what i used to have.

looks nice, i dont see the big deal on the sidemarkers, but thats just me. I figure if there wasnt already a hole there, why make one. But your car looks good man, very nice...

Rep Power: 284 Not feeling the wing and the sidemarkers, but the rims look nice; I think you should've gone with a 215/40/17 tire.

Rep Power: 787 yea thats why i'm considering em. the turanza i have are great in every way but very expensive and heavier.
the jspec/dc5r have the same shape, rectangular. not sure what yours in there now look like. but when i swapped mine they were pretty much the same. my first pair were rice apc and they only had a hole in the middle for wires so i had to cut the fender again for the new ones.

Rep Power: 285 i have the EXACT rim and tire package... lol
you should have gone with a 45 sidewall, but i made the same mistake with getting the 40 as well. but my next pair of rims will have 45s.

Rep Power: 787 oh yea i guess i paid around $50 for the orange ones. but compared to the jspec clear which is only $25 it seemed expensive.
