Nice stance. Those 18s actually look like 19s. What color are the rims? The face appears black, but I see some red on the edge of the spokes. Is that a custom finish?

Your car is very unique with the black INGs lip and hood. Nice photos too.

hmm. its really carbon fiber with a shot of white pearl over it. The camera can't capture the effect in pictures. so it turns out silver.

They are SA-55m BRM, Black with red accents.

That is a hot IS! First time I've seen wheels that small look so hot.
The kit and exteior mods flow so well.
Good work.

haha yeah the first picture was to see how much lower i could go with the offset.


Since WEDs don't have many offsets i'll release mine.

18x9 +20
18x10 +18

daymm~ that car should be here in hawaii not houston

as for the SA-55's in red, seen them up close at Rev-01's, the color kinda threw me, its not really black due to Weds painting process, they paint the whole thing red first then put black over it and the red just bleeds thru even more so than the blue/black color. Love the rims just not how Weds did the paint job. I would love to own a set thou and do a custom color combi

The japs really messed up on this one, but its really not that bad. Most of the time the wheels shows up black and i guess with a lot of sun the wheels turn out burgundy. none the less, a white car pulls off both colors perfectly fine.

In this day and age ...where some people won't share ...I have to commend you on your selflessness. You are a true contributor to the site. Sharing is what this forum is about. Thank you sir!

You absolutely have a great looking car!

PS: How much camber are you running in the front and rear?
