Wheels- Like a LOT!
Lugs & Cap- Not so much
Center caps- Pass, IMO I rather run without
Lowered- Yes, please.

Well, that douche is actually me. I apologize for trying to not look like a douche. Just to give a heads up this is a candid shot and that girl in front of me was talking about how her grandmother went into the hospital and doesn't know how to afford the medical bills. So sorry for looking like a douche because I was so busy trying to figure a solution out that I didn't have time to pose. On top of it too, if I were a guy trying to show off that I'm trying to be cool with my car, then I would have had my other car instead. So please try not to judge. I showed this picture because I thought it was cool. Btw, if you ask why I'm dressed in a suit, it's because I just got off work.

But thanks for the compliments, and yes I do need coils, I barely put the wheels on two days ago.
I like the pic. It looks like you are some secret agent in a movie or something.

Those are the exact wheels I want for my USB F

Nice looking wheels! I think you should leave the caps off like others have said and paint the lugs to match the car.

Thanks. I concur with what you are saying. HAHA. Center caps I may just run because I paid for them already. HAHA. Lugs, still trying to decide on what to get.

Nah I would'nt bother with that... Too much of a hassle and will scratch easy when removed or installed..

Maybe switch out to shorter lug nuts..? Rays has a few more choices..

Black is stealth of course and now they have Gun metalic too...

LOL maybe next time. I was too distraught with listening to the news on radio about MJ. Plus I was in my company car...that's no fun.
