hmm, looks like i've found the popular choice :). that black one does look dead sexy though, but i still can't decide.

meanwhile, to make it worse, i just found these cool sterns (made by work) for sale on zilvia.net for $1400 (they're normally way more than that).
i'm not really digging the silver a ton, but since they're multi-piece they could easliy be powedercoated gloss black which would look dick. below that is another badass one i found with gunmetal g-games which also look really good and are somewhat affordable (compared to other volks or works).

yea, i wish mine already looked that good. that one really makes me want a polished lip again though, those things look incredible. i know discount tire direct sells time for like $390 a piece but maybe our new friend out there can get me a hook up :).

hey nobody, you know that depending on the exact size you want, the real cr kai's are only about Y33,000 which is about $330 with the low yen rate right now. I can get you a quote for cheaper, but only if you are actually interested. they don't like me callin with "not sure orders" at the work factory in Osaka, Jpn. Lemme know

the stern's are awesome, but the more i think about it they might be a little impractical and expensive (powdercoating is kinda priecy, plus it would be damn near impossible to get another one if i ever curbed one of those as i think they might be discontinued).

cody...i ran across these on drift411. check out the SSR SP1s toward the bottom of the page. Chances are you've already seen or considered these.

There was a time when I loved DSL.... and then I got cable which is soooo much faster. Now I just think that DSL sucks. :D (It's still better than 56wtf though)

Cody, on the black car the bronze in the hotness. Too many kids are trying the black on black combo and fuckin it up for the people that actually have a little taste. Contrast is the key. And oh yeah a 4" lip wouldn't hurt either. :lol:

nobody, DON'T GET THE BLACK TORQUEs!! Go for the SDR's.
(hehe. only cuz I WANT 'EM!)

no, i don't think he can get DSL down there but he's hardly online and doesn't care a whole lot.

and yea, the 4" lip would be cool, but most of the ones with that are a little too much for me :(. it's looking like the 5zigens will be the most budget friendly option for me and the more i think about it, the bronze probably would be the best. only downside is i can't rock the cool chrome vinyl with it (well i could, but it'll look funny) but oh well.


edit:
finally found a pic of hyperblacks on a black car (even though it's a 13 instead of a 14) but they look really good too. hmm.....
