That's even more cool ! I tought it was a pshop because of the sentence written above the picture.

Anyway, those wheels look absolutely awesome. The agressive offset is perfect.

What company builds those replicas ?

Very nice, can't wait to see updates on that too, since I am planning on doing audio upgrades in the near future. Are you going with a 2way or 3way component? Which head unit? I was thinking of pioneer.
