That looks hot!!!

Looks great! I think the ride height is perfect as well.

VERY VERY Nice man! I love it. Those Nismo rims are fantastic looking. Just out of curiousity, are they (Nismo rims) lighter than the sports pack RAYS? Because I know sports package RAYS are super lightweight to begin with.

Although I will have to remove the front splitter and wheel deflectors, since they rub all the time now.

Do you know which coilover? BC?

That is sick as hell.

I am jealous.

Yeah the Nismo wheels are like ~6 Lbs lighter front, and ~3 rear. (both)

Rear: Sport Wheel = 23.8lbs | Nismo = 23.0lbs
Front: Sport Wheel= 23.2lbs | Nismo = 20.7lbs

They save weight while still adding a 1/2 in width

Yes, I am considering the BC, as well as the Stance, KW, & HKS.

They look tight. I'm liking the black better on your color, nice job.

Jeffblue · 03-30-2010, 12:44 PM

that black looks great on your car. nice job

fatcat777 · 03-30-2010, 12:52 PM

came out looking very good.

Nick911sc · 03-31-2010, 01:42 PM

I have to say, I'm extremely jealous. This setup looks beautiful!

Chris_1 · 03-31-2010, 02:07 PM

Those look real good, I gotta say that the Nismo wheels really are one of the best factory wheels available, besides the sport pack ones. I havent loved a factory wheel, for a very long time from any manufacturer. How are you liking the tires, we have gotten very good feedback about them.

This is the 2nd time I had them done, originally I had them done in a metallic gray but the first powder coater did not chemically strip them or blast them at all. They applied the powder directly over the factory coating and needless to say it peeled right off.

This time I had them done at a place that Berk recommended, and they did a really great job, the finish is excellent and the service was top notch.

Did the other company reimburse you for their failures?

I really like your ride height now, man. It's tasteful. Me, personally, I wouldn't go lower, unless if you're tracking your car. But to each their own. Whatever you decide to do, I'm sure it'll look good regardless.
