Weird, but why do your rear wheels look like they stick out just as much as my +24 rears? Is it because you have conservatively cambered rear (almost vertical) that gives it the illusion that they are sticking out a lot more than they really are? I am just confused.

Oh nice wheels by the way!

Haha. Thanks. Don't let Eric hear that. He's not getting it back anyway.

Wow! Thanks. I've had the traditional white/silver/black cars and thought it was time to add a little color. The bronze is actually a very rich color. Glad you like it too.

Thanks guys. You mod a car for yourself but it is always nice to get approval from your fellow enthusiasts.

Thanks for the kind words. Like KVA said, these are Tom's mirror covers. They are not as clean in terms of integration as the MB mod, but I got a too good to turn down offer. Plus, with a little help from RMMGS4, the cover is a great fit now compared to how it comes stock.

good looking gs, and great wheels, love the color also, only thing i would do is lower it just a tad more if u could. then the car would be perfect
Well, I'm at 1 finger gap right now and I probably won't do much to the front. I'm contemplating lowering the rear a little though. If you look at the wheel close up pics, I took those right after I put them on the first time. This was with the height I had set for my 18s. You can see that it was slightly tucked. At the time, I did not shave the fenders yet so there was no way I was driving like that. Now that the fenders are taken cared of, I may push it a little lower. We'll have to see.

Yeah, I like how it lines up with the fender. I've had the wheels on for a little over 3 months now but I have not had time to get an alignment (shame on me ). The car was at a setting for my 18s so when I put on the 20s with the extra height, all 4 "stood up" straighter.

BTW, I get nervous looking at the picture above thinking there is a tractor trailer or something bearing down on your car blocking the road just around the curve out of sight

When I had my 18s, the rotors/calipers really filled out the wheels almost too tightly. I knew I'd be going to something bigger though, which is why I opted for the 14" rotors vs. the 13".

Haha, thanks. What a difference 2 inches make. It is the same configuration I've had for at least 6 months now but I think the 20s really set everything off. Now that I have gotten accustomed to 20s, they don't look big to me at all. Sometimes they are borderline small. Don't worry, there are no 21s or more in the car's future.

Did you notice the other pics? I started out on the side of the road with me snapping pics in the middle of the road. This was in a new housing development. After taking some pics and noticing there was no traffic, I then realized this road was not connected to anything yet. Well, the car then ended up in the middle of the road, which is a little harder shot to get (normally).

Well, you led the way with the Techniks. I know you've known about this from the beginning. You don't know how many times I looked at your car to make sure I wanted these. We are configured very similarly, exterior-wise, so it helped.
