heres a few i snapped right after I put my wheels on at work.

I took my Konig Incidents I had, painted them bronze and here they are. Also lowered the car the other day with H&R springs

sometimes i look at the car and wish i went with graphite, but didnt want too close to the factory look. this is my 'opposite look'. If i want graphite look then I can just mount up my stockers with the my Falken rt615s and be good to go, with some extra traction too ;) :D

next mods on the list--ecu upgrade and turboback exhaust, once tax refunds roll around

(iagree)

And I usually hate bronze wheels. I don't even know why, exactly -- I guess for the same reason I hate gold. I just don't like it.

But those don't look half bad, and the drop is nice -- even and not too dramatic. Good job!

well thank ya folks. the drop is lower than it looks. I had just lowered the lift so the springs were uncompressed a bit. also friends are telling me they should fully settle in couple weeks and thats when it will look even lower

Looks awesome! I never cared about lowering mine but after seeing these pics I want to.

HUGE improvement over the old wheels and stance. I dont know why, but just changing the color of the wheels made them look 100% better.

definately an upgrade.

Very good. Too bad bronze doesn't look good on orange....

Speaking of, if I wanted to paint my stock rims or get new ones.... besides silver, what would look good on Orange? I know black usually does but I don't want to be like Shadow and everyone else. Maybe blue?

when i saw the first picture, i didn't really like your wheels. After the color change, i think they look good. Good idea painting them! How much did it cost?
