Thumbs down I cheaped out :: New wheels

I just couldn't pull the trigger on HRE's knowing that I have another bill for the GTR coming and that I had to pay my quarterly estimates this week. I'm in this change of combo for less than $1800 shipped (basically just the wheels, and the cost of switching my tires over, stuck with 19's), forgive me guys.

Anyway, how it looked before:



And after I got them mounted/balanced, I also made the scoop black and de-badged it. I really dig the new look, completely changes the look of the car.

For reals?! That poor V is getting whored out lol. It's obviously much slower, but equally fun to drive IMO. Stats on yours??

If you need some Black Lug Bolts, let us know....It will definitely bring a different appeal to the wheels.

Thank you

I feel that it's more fun to drive as you can throw it around a lot easier... I tend to take off ramps way faster than I used to in the V. lol.

Mine is a 09, black/black manual with PSS10's, Switzer Exhuast and Cats with a flash and GT2 wheels and some random carbon bits.

Nice man! Sounds nice. I just couldn't go with another black car. I'm trying not to mod this one, but it'll probably get exhaust/tune and be done.

Thanks. They are Avant Guarde M310's IIRC.

Looks very good!!! I personally like the factory TT wheels with the right drop and spacers. But these new ones look great and the Intercooler ducts are a nice touch

Looks better but the question is, how's the quality (i.e. weight)?
