vertex kit and varianza-likes for winter is pimp sauce. and with that diiirty drop: how r u riding on those in winter? either it doesnt snow at all or the vertex lip is a sturdy plow.

at first i thought the first pic was taken on a frozen tundra wasteland. but then i realized it was just the upper most level of a parking structure. lol. car looks incredible, the cheap wheels match very well too!

Looking good but maybe some new new upgrade, like supercharged, AIR, and maybe some BBK's your ride will be hella sick like someone I know in FL :**p...

lol at 'pimp sauce' - call me irresposible, but i ride at the same height year round. when there's inches and inches of snow on the street though, i don't drive... but here in NJ they keep the roads pretty good after a snow and are usually clear within a few hours

And I guess the biggest question I got was, what wheels are these via PM's... well stupid me sold my stockers, and when winter came around my tires were pretty much brand new - so I had a choice of buying brand new tires & wheels, or just new wheels - so I found these wheels darn cheap (on blow out) at discounttire.com

they are Private Reserve 19x8 +30 (i'm using a 10mm spacer so I'm +20) & 19x9.5 +25 - excellent fit.

I think you can still get em as there's still some left, hella cheap, under $150 ea

Once again, thanks for all the comments. CL FTW
