Give it a little time Reggie, maybe after a few months to a year you can "refresh" them up!

Maybe color matched windows and a pin stripe on the lip?? LOL, I can see it in my head already.

I think it looks great!. Last week I finally decided on split 5-spokes for myself. Just trying to find company the I want. I'm thinking the ones below, but not sure of the lug nut cover (probably plastic/cheap).

Tell him to go lower so the car will look like a beast!

BTW Reggie, I just ordered my Ksport coilovers from Ride Low in the sponsors section... my DFs will be up for sale.

Looks nice and clean

I like the multi spoke rims on the 3gen GS. But that's my taste.

Looks like there is going to be a big fire sale of DF's in the classifieds. Seems many are changing to coils. I can say it was worth it!!

I believe it's 3 inches. Not much but looks plenty to me. I could have gotten more lip with more aggressive offset but I prefer to keep it conservative. The wheel guy wanted to do a 40 offset with 4 inch lip for the rear but I insisted on 45.

Damn Reggie! The 2nd set of pictures make the wheel look even better! Can't wait to see them in person.
