I dont know what it is about those wheels but they do nothing for me. They just look so big in comparison to the rest of the car.

The calipers, and headlight ring... pure sex, and love the chrome delete

Quality wheels go a long way. I've been running 20s around Houston since I bought the car nearly 4 years ago.

Digging the headlight mod, been wanting to do this but I have Euro spec bi xenons and nervous to pull them apart. With respect to the Vader club you need to black those wheels out and it will take on a whole new persona Daarth ?

Sooo sick man!! This is the look I'm going for just with a 5 spoke wheel with a lip. At least until I can get my car wrapped. Loving the green accents though! How does the green on the fogs effect the light output?

What was involved in wrapping the chrome? I want to do the same. Just "3M black vinyl"?

The green doesn't affect output at all just makes the light have a green hint to it (I never use them much anyway) and for the chrome delete the 3m vinyl you just remove the trim and wrap it with the vinyl and use a heat gun kinda long process to removal all and wrap but looks 1000x better
