FINALLY!!!! 3 months in the waiting...Rims, drop, tint and painted calipers!!!! :)
Well it's been almost 3 months since I ordered my Asanti's they were finally all painted and complete Friday so I took it into the shop and had everything done.
Wheels:
Asanti AF145 22" staggered with color matching to the black sapphire pearl.
Tires Rear: Pirelli 295/25/22 Front: 245/30/22
Overall I'm pretty happy with the wheels. I was hoping for a bigger lip in the front but I think I'm getting pretty used to it.
Suspension:
I had the Tanabe NF210's installed. I think the drop and the way the car sits is perfect. Ride quailty to my surprise is actually really good. Of course you feel things a little more than on stock but it's a lot better than I thought it was going to be.
Along with that I had the windows tinted and I had the calipers painted a gloss black.
Overall I'm excited to finally have the car looking good. It was driving me nuts driving on stock wheels since November.
Next items on the list is the Wald Kit. I'm also planning a wedding so its time to relax a little bit before the fiance has my *****!
Let me know what you guys think!
Here is what the car looked like Saturday morning before I took it in:
And now the after pics:
Here you can see the matching of the paint on the wheels:

I also purchased these LED lights for the corners of the headlights and the new fog lights.
Anybody know a good trusted place in Southern Cali to get these installed. The shop on Saturday wanted to charge me $120.00 and I said no.
Thanks

Lead Lap
Black with 22" over-complicated CHROME wheels? Are you crazy? Those wheels will take forever to clean or look absolute horrible after a short drive. The least you could have done would be ceramic brake pads. That car is a detailers nightmare.
