It does look good but if you were to paint the brake caliper I bet it would look even better. Might look good red if you have the red and black leather package or even just black so that it doesn't look so industrial. I know mine are getting a grey metallic fleck paint on my Titanium Grey Rex.

Looks good! Did you get 18x8, 18x9, or ?
Those look like the OE Bridgestones; are you going to use them for KC winter driving?
Thx,

They didn't have an snow tires available in the size i needed so just used my stock tires...
BTW, the stock rims, lugs and lock are for sale, first come, first serve. 3500 miles on them and will sell for $525 + shipping.

Yeah, at first I though I didn't like the wheels. But I agree with that other poster... you need the body kit. Simply because the wheels are so aggressive.
The kit looks good... but I'm not a rear spoiler fan; especially when they're large.

I love the rims (especially in the hyper black color) and the body kit will look great I'm sure, can't wait to see pics of it. The spoiler though, good God, I'm not being critical and this is only my opinion but that is the most butt ugly wing I've ever seen, its just too huge and detracts from the overall look of the car.
Again, this is only my opinion, the spoiler doesn't suit my taste but as long as you like it thats all that matters.

just one thought KC. I know you are considering red but have you considered bright metallic silver for you calipers since it might look good with all the strakes and other silver that is on the car.
Oh yeah and i love the wheels, its nice to see someone else that likes black wheels also.

From: AL/GA...you pick
Those are swingin' bro....nice job...I think once you have the kit installed your gonna be stylin'!
As for the wing....mmmm...don't think that compliments the car that well...looks more Honda-ish....if you like it though, props to ya,....although i am interested in seeing your pic holding it up unmounted to the car...
If you are going for the spoiler...the OEM one is not at all bad...I like it better on a kitted car than the MS spoiler...IMO....
