Looks great. The car would look even better if you considered dropping it a bit .

I'm going to have to disagree. In the initial picture when I opened the thread and saw your car. My first words were. "Oh, My God." But then I saw the new wheels. I did'nt think much of them.

Not my choice either. What did you do with the JDM rims?

I agree they are very nice. I want the white TE's for my MB though. If I had a VR I'd do the Ce's like rage.

I was gonna get Suspension and then the wheels later. But these came up secondhand and in absolutely mint condition at a very reasonable price !!

When I get the suspension I will lower it, it looks too high at the front lol

Will be keeping the JDM rims as I plan to do a few trackdays. Didnt think they would be popular enough to sell to be honest.

Cheers for the comments, nice to have some mixed ones.
