Well, I don't know what this "Winter" is you speak of, here in Northern California, but your car looks great, as always! The green is a lot of fun! Nice to see someone taking their car lightly and being playful with it. Haters gonna hate, but i dig it!

Thx guys :) , the color is really stand out on a bright day .

I think I have more ppl trying to race me on the road compare to my gold wheels :) ...but off course I let them win " wink -wink" ... Lol

I may put some antlers and some puffy tails for the heck of it .. Lol

[GeeToThaEee]

Really dig in the combination red-green, I'd just add a set of yellow foglights and a rack to complete the looks.

Btw 403RS the chrome ring of the steelies is a diy or you bought em like that?

[vten]

^thx ! Ski rack .... Hmmm I kinda like the idea

I want to try to put a 15mm wheel spacer with the built in studs. This set looks kinda weird coming From the Xxr aggressive offset .

Btw 403RS the chrome ring of the steelies is a diy or you bought em like that?

They're called "trim rings" or "beauty rings", and you hammer them on like a hubcap!

I'm looking for some centre caps to go with 'em.

another pics


it seems like I have the room up to 20mm for the wheel spacer, based on my measurement this morning .....it's pretty cold out, so it may shrink a little ...no pun intended ..lol

[ilikerice]

I like it alot.. very seasonal.

[packetrace]

[b20vteg]

[vten]

Superleggera's FTW

[vten]

^yes sir !

Coming from the boat anchor Trd's 18" to the xxr 527 in 17" , I thought it was a significant in weight difference.... But this Superleggera is even lighter yet stronger than those xxr's !

[Thirty-Nine]

Naaah, just kidding :) , I bought the brembo caliper cover from ebay, but I upgrade the disc to the 320mm from micro image .... The cover look so real even some mechanics couldn't tell by looking at it :)
