Reasonably only another half inch or so to close up wheel gap but then I would fail miserably at getting into the garage and fail miserably at keeping my tires in one piece. I too don't agree with excessive slammage and it would 100% ruin the theme I'm after. The car is low enough for me right now Like I said if I ever get coils it will be Mopars and since I dont have 2k hiding in my couch...well....yeah that won't be any time soon

car looks better than ever!

now if only you would just get rid of that damn spoiler

jk jk... to each their own

Love those wheels.. Those and the Enkei's arm my all time favorite.. Out of all the rims Ive ever owned, i have never had a set of either of those..

I love my spoiler I can't find any that I like better. I had an original AVS back in 2005 when they first came out and Modern sold them. I ended up selling it because I hated it so much and put my wing back on. Thanks though

Montell: I'm shocked! You're the wheel whore! You'll have to get a set of each in the car's lifetime.

the wheels look great crystal.

i think the lack of polished lip ties in better with the satin black on the rest of the car.

just wanted to let u know crystal have a good time at carlisle this year.... i am going to miss it....

Such an improvement over the old wheels! As you might imagine, since I used to rock FN01R-C's, I love that wheel design. So simple, yet so sexy!

A few thoughts:
- Without the polished lip, the SEE sticks out like a sore thumb. I'd give it the same treatment as the wheels.
- I know this horse has already been beaten to death, but just another 1/2-1" to get rid of some wheel gap and it would be perfecto! I understand your reasoning behind leaving it be, though.

Well done. I never thought I'd see the old wheels leave, so it was a welcome site to see these ones find a new home!

we"ll see. I love the cleanliness of my nexos. I might have to suck it up and rock these til they fall off lol..

Scott: Thank you! I'd have to agree

Dave: Thanks! Sorry I'll miss you there

Chris: Thank you Like I said sometime down the road coilovers are a possibility, but only Mopars. I've actually had a few different sets of wheels on the car in the past six years:
- 18x7.5" Katana Destinys Hyperblack w/polished lip (04-06) 225/40
- 18x7.5" Katana Destinys Flat black w/polished lip (06-07) 225/40
- 18x7.5" Zinik Z18 Minardis Gloss black w/polished lip (08-09) 225/40
-17x7" Drag DR-17s - Flat Black 225/45s

I've changed it up quite a bit but this is my first set with no polished lip whatsoever. I like em They're different. As for the SEE i had considered that but it is a mother to keep clean as it is, if I painted it I'd be painting it weekly :\

It looks much better not only because they is no polished lip but also because there is more sidewall on the tire. I think the 17s look perfect on your car if you went to a 16 i believe you would have to much sidewall, which is weird to hear coming from me. lol

Yeah I love the meatier look of the tires I must agree! Thanks!

Yeah, that cell pic you sent me the other day was too tiny...these look pretty sweet. I think the Ziniks looked too "blingy" for your style. The spokes were high-gloss and didn't go with ANYTHING on the car. These suit the car much better. Oh, and you must show me pics of the pistol grip shifter...I don't feel like searching

I'll send you some via PM Brodie

Don't know if I commented yet Cam, but the wheels and tires look fantastic on your beast! I can't wait to see them in person!

Thanks Chris

I like the rims. Looks really good with the car, And good choice on a little more meat on he tires

LSP i am in the dont slam it crowd also i think your car looks amazing, and i totally get building it for yourself and sticking to your theme. Love the new rims and tires

Lookin great Crystal.

Ok, since I don't see an answer anywhere I'll bite. What happened to your progress logs? Why'd they disappear a while back?

Don't ask such questions, that shit will get you killed

Actually, tbh, I've been wondering the same thing

I like the rims, CM. They got a clean look to them, and it really brings out how meaty those tires are [which I read is what you wanted lol]

Thanks everyone, I actually just took more pictures on Monday I need to post them up, looks a bit...different now . In a good way.

Progress logs were deleted and won't be coming back, no need for them really. Josh backed them up for me and I keep them on my PC now and just write in it like a journal whenever I do something. Less to keep up with .

I see, I see. Sounds good

"Everyone spit on Meg!"

In the kitchen, Meg?!

I missed that one.

Catch you some late-night FG.

I'm guessing she got tired of everyone stealing her ideas.


Right? I would've.

In a way that was a form of flattery (although annoying at times when you're trying to be original) but it's not the reason I deleted them.

Wow have I been under a ROCK! I didn't realize you'd swapped those rims that long ago CM! They look super sexy on Lucius, especially with the extra touch on the sidewalls. Awesome work as always, and Lucius looked SOO badass in person yesterday (you go!)

Later
Allex

Thanks Allex! Awesome seeing you again, I'm going to post up the pictures soon. I'm being a bum right now!
