I don't like the wheels... the matte finish makes them fade into the background. The car is all nice, shiny and beautiful and you 'chop the legs off' by keeping those wheels.

Sorry but IMHO, not doing it. Glad you like it though.

Dig the look and think it enhances the overall look. You kept the chrome and the matte finish just flows. What size tires did you go with and where did you get. The Nurburgring are on my top 3 list if I every pull the trigger on new shoes. I haven't seen the matte finish in person and also in OC if you ever have time to connect for a coffee or something. SoCalCLK oragnized a morning coffer gathering at Crystal Cove last year and something we should do again.

If you were going for the "murdered out" look and eliminating all of the chrome these probably wouldn't work but think you have found the right balance.

And agreed...get rid of those side markers. Btw - I'm still sporting the pumpkin lenses to and need to make time to replace. Small mod that really sets off the car.

Thanks for input everyone. Anybody know what clear side markers are good? I've been looking at them and there are so many choices like leds, etc etc. Any recommendations would be great!

Also for those interested, the sizes of the front are 255/35/19 and back are 285/30/19 with front and back offsets of 32 and 41. Got these done at american tire in Costa Mesa
