Thanks 9K, it was polished and waxed prior to the pics, When i got it I thought the tips had been painted black, and even strong wheel cleaner wouldnt clean them, but a few minutes with some metal polish and fine grade wire wool and they are as good as new.
going in on monday to have the wheels resprayed, so I shall machine polish it over the 3 days it wont have wheels on and get some more pics next week

Looks good but I am not feeling the huge "B" center caps. You also need to get some "back to black" on the rear bumper plastic and shine those tips!! The dirtiness takes away from the rims

Yeah the bumper is actually off of a parts car from when i was rear ended. The car has 30k miles the bumper has like 80k. I've never heard of back to black but i'd love to try it cause it really bothers me too. I am also not a fan of the huge B's i was going to look for some sort of rotar themed center cap or just paint them black. I think the tips are just shadow, cause i do shine them.
Thanks for the compliments on the wheels though.

I'm about to drop my current RX-8 on S-Techs as well. I hope it doesnt happen again.

Nah, it must be the angles of the pics. I have measured at all four corners and everything is level. Those last pics were taken in a parking lot that has a incline. I love the Shinka's but i am trying to work a deal on some Volk GTF's right now.
