The wheels look great. On a side note, how do you like the Nitto INVO's? How is the traction and what about the handling? Do you notice any sidewall flex from the soft sidewalls?

Do these wheels have real CF overlay on top of Aluminum? Not sure how CF wheels are constructed.

On a sidenote, I can't wait for you to mount those 10 spoke black advans s4play! I think we're on the same level of taste when it comes to these cars.
Yes I can tell we like to mod cars in similiar ways but there's no wrong or right way to go about it

To OP: I'm sure your car will hold its own on the east coast - different tastes that's all

For the area Diau (and I) are in, it doesn't matter what wheels he gets......as there's nothing to "hold its own" against.

the car market here does NOT have modded luxury vehicles (not including escalades/navigators/etc) --- The cars that are modded are new dodge chargers (and similar) and mostly civic-type imports....each of which is a much different look than what most CL'ers have.

In this area, just seeing an IS-F is pretty unusual.....let alone seeing a modded one

I know that hence the remark about east vs. west

I've been out to Fairfax on numerous occasions and Duke is not far away since my girl is alumni from there. The car "scene" in general does not exist and you rarely even see modded cars. I was there for about 2 weeks and only saw a riced out Eclipse and some ghetto rides that showed a combination of poor taste and horrible choices.....

My friends who live there assure me there were nice rides but I was just in the wrong area so who knows....haha

Edited: Last time I checked this is a public forum and I never made any negative comments???? sheesh

Im new to this forum and Ive heard its a good one. I hope its not one of those forums where ppl post too many harsh opinions. I dont always agree but im not mean about it.

On another note..

Dude that is one bad *** ride. I should know, i have one too The wheels are beyond sick. Yes you do need at least a slight drop, and a front lip wouldnt hurt. And im not sure but they look like real cf on them, over that sticker vinyl stuff ppl use that looks like painted squares lol. Theres no way stocks compare to these. Good taste and good luck bro

Thanks bro welcome to CL and there's tons of info here that you can find regarding your F. I know everyone had their own agenda when it comes to modding. Lol
