the sides are CF aero flares. i have a set of R-Magic sides but i'm still not sure what direction i wanna take with those.
i agree with the chrome. it was all on the car when i bought it and i kinda liked it when it was more stock but now its not going with the overall theme.
it still might look high because i haven't driven it after having it jacked up.

i have no black on my car. its CF and smoked tail lights and sidemarkers.
but i do agree Benny. i'm flirting with the idea of a new front bumper and R-Magic sideskirts in blue. then also painting the sides of my CF rear diffuser blue.
the fronts i had in mind are Vertex Lang or AutoExe SE-02.
i also have a Vertex Lang lip spoiler i need to put on as well as an OEM gas lid that needs to get painted.

Lookin good Mclovin. I like the wheels alot, but for some reason It seems like your old wheels go better with the overall Blue/CF theme of the car. The gunmetal brings out the CF, now that they are gold, it kind of makes the CF look a little dull. But those are some sexy wheels nonetheless.

Honestly, I really liked your old setup, maybe it's cause the of the quick pictures you took now, but I was digging the setup.
But man, do those tires ever look so sticky, how wide are they?

I like the both rims equally! The gold has a nice touch, but it seems like your old rims flowed more with your car, not quite sure. What did you do with your old rims/ why get new ones?

i still have my old wheels for now.
its a pretty exclusive size and offset for our cars. only other one i currently know of is danobre, who has TeamRX8's old Comp H's.
these new wheels are lighter, same size all around so i can now rotate tires, stickier tires. all around better than my old wheels except i knew some people would not like them as much as my old ones. these are more for performance, the other ones were more for show.

I wonder how you got the rear gap to sit even with the front wheel well gap with the S. Techs? I have the same springs, but the rear seems like it is slightly lower than the front.

I think your old rims make your car stand out more, and give it a more Bling ora. The new rims give your car a more tunner look. I def lean towards the tunner look. Thats why I powder coated my rims. So the car is looking great. You got to change that fuel cap lol.

Maybe I am just imagining things...but man...I like the stock wheels and don't have the cash for some new wheels. I wish there was a way to get a more aggressive look with the stocks.
