Default PrinceAkim's New Wheels/Build Thread

At the beginning of the year, I decided it was time for some new wheels. My prior wheels were EXE Konkave's and I loved them (Thanks Tee). One day I'm on Ebay and come across my all time favorite wheel, Trafficstar RTS. I couldn't believe my eyes. I quickly contacted the seller and worked out a deal, and finally received my holy grails. The wheels came well packaged, however I received 3 on one day and the last wheel on the following day. Love the boxes they were shipped in also, two Vossen CV3 boxes and a Junction Produce. In addition to the wheels, I purchased the polyurethane TTE like front lip, a mesh grille, mirror covers with puddle light, slotted drilled rotors, painted calipers with Lexus logos, and more goodies to come. I'll post more pics as I make more progress. Sorry for the iPhone pics.

I like those wheels too, clean and simple. The grill looks odd to me for some reason.

Thanks Bro! I got the grill from ebay. It was a TRD like grill, and ordered the Lexus emblem to add on the front of the grill.
