They are kyowa evolve. Normally they have a red pin strip in the groove, but I went with the all matte black.


I'm planning to do a gloss black roof, after I put my exhaust on.

Thanks for the positive comments, yea I'm def getting a blacked out roof but the same place is asking for $250-300 for vinyl. I feel like that is a rip off, right?

Nice lips. That sounds dirty. +1 for a blacked out roof to help things flow.

Depends on your local market. In the Bay Area I was quoted anywhere from $400-$700, but I only went to high quality shops. IMO, at that price range you might as well go with paint, since it will look glossier, unless you want to take it off later. If you look around, especially for an experienced DIYer working out of his home garage, you might get around the $100 range.

rims look good. i really like the size of that lip. 200-300 for a vinyl'd roof doesnt seem too bad, i think.

what are you dropped on, they look like 20's and deep is the rear lip, thinking about getting some as an alternative set of wheels, giving my iforged a break!
