Nice, are those Volks? My buddy was just telling me about these over the weekend.

Where did you get the transformer though? I need one.

thanks!
no, they are not volks, I had volks on my old car and they are nice wheels but I rather spend that kind of money on my house. These are SportMax 006. Really good price.
The transformer i got on ebay for about $60, they seem to be going up in price. Worth the price tho, it's very detailed and complicated to transform.

well i have to say i am either glad i didnt get the volk time attacks rims or that is just too much red lip for me. looks like the sport max are a knock-off or the volk SF winning.



OK BACK TO ORGINALLY TOPIC.
I have to say there is no 8 out there that i have seen with that much red lip.

I think that would make it just carbon w/o the fiber.

What offset? The rears look way out. Still dig it though. Thought about the same setup myself.

Drop, tint, and clear corners (surprised nobody said it yet) or instead of going clear, black or red them out.

Just noticed that Lesper's are red. Looks good. Perfect match to the color of the car.

It's +35. If you don't want them to stick out too much 8.5 all around would be a better choice.

I was gonna actually get those wheels. I was a little skeptical how it was gonna look. I must say its beautiful, who cares whatever anyone says as long as you like it. But surely will look much better if dropped a bit. Thumbs up!

Ja, I agree the proportions are not right. Tires stick out too far, Too much red and car sits too high for it's flashyness.


But it's nice to see we are all differant, and it's not stock!
