The white one doesn't look too bad. There are worse looking cars in this thread alone. Just needs a more aggressive offset and to loose the hood scoop. But if it's functional then okay.

Holy ****, putting the 255/35s did more damage than I thought (especially on the back)... the coilovers are already lowered 90% of the way down so it looks like they're going to need to be dropped all the way. Hopefully I'll get around to it in the next couple weeks... along with taking some pictures that dont look like ****.

Didn't you used to be on 265's?

I am not digging that red car at all. ****, if you're going to slam it and try to be flush at least do it right. He had the right ingredients but fumbled the recipe there, IMHO.
Rick - Why the step to 255's?

I give the red car props, it can be more aggressive with simple spacers but he went far and beyond the typical wheels and no thin else. +1 for a unique kit too. Looks like it just needs a few more touches and it'll be on point. First real legit '09 I seen hooked up.

The red car isn't an 09, it simply has different taillights. The effort is there, it just wasn't successfully realized for me. Some 19's would really help it out, the visual weight of sideskirts + that rear bumper really dwarf those wheels. Like I said though, just IMHO. The only one with wheels and nothing else in here would be me, and I definitely don't think my car is anything special; I've even commented how it's just stock body.

Tilt, I'll keep that in mind... I don't know how long these tires are gonna last, but I only put <200 miles on the car each month so it should be at least a few before these wear out.
Yeah, they've been chipping since I got them, but it wasn't obvious in the first photoshoot I did. It's much more apparent in crappy pics. I'm trying to decide what I want to do about them beyond just getting some black spray and touching them up.

It's a possibility, but the whole reason I buy used wheels is to make most of it back when I sell them... Powder coating wouldn't be practical in that aspect. More than likely I'll buy a different set at some point, do a nice spray job on the nt03's and then sell them.
