Yeah, I agree...

I was thinking of royal gunmetal slips but my sig other says that they'd look too much like my old car...plus she prefers the time attack color scheme. My car is looking very black/white/red-ish...and that's ok with me!

Because I want to run a 205/50/16 tire and I need 45mm since I'm lowered in order to not rub.

Some people rub with even 42mm offsets and shorter tires.

Not touching that one. lol.

I can't put visors on because of my stainless pieces.

That's easy to say, but for me, if I do fender work that means the car will be wider which in turn will make it go up a tax bracket. Screw that. I had to pay the higher taxes when I had my DC5R Teggy because it was 5mm wider than the lower class maximum width even though its engine was below 2 liters maximum. I'll be damned to pay a higher tax with a 1.5 liter.

Looking good Amanda.

I had some rubbing with 195 55 15s on 7" rims with 43mm offset even before the new springs. I think my new rear shocks will help that end some.... Your step kid looks pretty in her prom outfit, bet she's happy to get wheels too.

I like the red H on the wheels they match the Type-R badges nicely. It's almost like the Championship White Type-R's

Thanks, Adam...
They were an easy and cheap mod that added a nice touch, imo.

Eventually I want rims, but for now...they'll do.

I kinda like those rims actually, don't get a new set lol. The one pic where your car is on a downward slope, was it intentional to get the LONE STAR on the far left in the picture? lol it's a good shot
