Lightbulb I love goooooooooold!
Just got my wheels and springs finally on before the car goes to sleep for the winter.

Wheels: CCW Classics 18x9.5 front, 18x12 rear with brushed gold anodized finish on faces and brush gold lips
Suspension: Just H&R springs for now

My original intention was to go all black, but I figured I would get bored of the look too quickly since everyone does black on black (here's a photoshop of my original vision):



Finally, on to the pics:





















I want to say a big thank you to Rob, Pete at Budget Tire for installing the tires and Steven for taking the photos of my car!

-Matt

Love the wheels, Love how the brakes fit so snug in the centers... I just think you need a lot more tire on the car also a more aggressive tire then the Kumho What sizes are you running?

Links: I plan on running bigger tires, I just purchased these tires this summer and decided instead of just letting them go to waste to just run them for now. But the tires are stock sizes. I have a few things I want to purchase before getting new meats


Thanks guys for the comments!

Zookie those look good! You just want a little more tire underneath you; is that why you are going back to 18s?


My badges just came in, not sure how I feel about them:
