new wheels...
Here are a couple quick pictures I took of my new HRE 542r's with H&R springs. I like the front, but I think the back is a bit too low. I'll have better pictures in a week or so. Must say thanks to Harris for all his help.

Looks good. Did you also change the shocks? Also, are those 19"s?

VERY nice Tommy. The brushed aluminum is the BEST looking finish. Actually, the red/blue/white center caps arent that bad.

Thanks for the compliments! yes, those are 19s and no change in shocks.
Harris - That was my exact thoughts when the caps were put on, they didn't look bad, but I think silver will look better, no?
I do need new brakes, but got a few surprises within the next couple months first. Maybe someone would like to donate a set??? Harris??? :p jk!

Do you plan on replacing them to better match the springs? From what I understand, after a while your shocks will end up defunct.

Actually I've been debating putting any additional mods (had planned on Kleemann engine upgrades + a big brake kit) for this car on hold so that I can set more money aside for my next car and all the mods. That certainly isn't going to stop any of the stuff that's already in progress though (bodykit + some interior work) - but who knows, maybe with a little coaxing I'll change my mind.

I will eventually, but not anytime soon. Plan on doing other things with the money for now.
