The springs are H&R. I'm switching them out soon however for some coilovers since I need to go lower and stiffer.

Tire sizes:

235/35/19 Front
265/30/19 Rear

its really a machined finish, it's not painted which is lovely because im not feeling painted wheels these days. polished would be more bling but not as much as chrome.

and thanks :p

i decided not to get the forgestars because the offsets they were offering weren't low enough for me and i'm not really into mesh wheels. if the offsets were good enough so that i didn't have to run any spacers at all i could probably justify the mesh but that wasn't the case at the time. now they have that C05 or whatever the 5 spoke wheel is which could have been a choice go figure lol.

IMO the 2 best color, black and white, are the hardest to keep clean.

My white car here hides the sand dust better than the silver one, I guess it all depends on where your at and whats blowing around. There is no dirt/soil/mud here either so that's a big plus to keeping a car clean.

I like how you debate things mate And I would agree (NOT because I own a white car), white is the new red.

I don't know guys, white is hot for sure, but i'm crazy about any grey. Just look at the SLS in matt grey, or a Ferrari in grey. Grey together with gunmetal or black wheels is so hot.
