New Wheels!
Picked up a set of Roush 20x9.5 chrome with 275/35 Sport Maxx tires. I was thinking of going black rims but this makes me realize how much I like the look of chrome, especially 5 spoke chrome on black!
Now I really need a drop and don't know what I'm going to go with. I really like the look and drop of the sportlines but think ultralites may be a better option for ground clearance and ride quality.
Also, I'm debating on what center caps to use. It's hard to tell in the pics but the right rear is actually a center from my brembo wheels and the other 3 are the Roush centers. I think I like the look of the brembo caps but can't decide. Anyway let me know what you think!

That's a great look. I wish I had gone for larger rims.
Although it's a very small detail and hard to get an accurate representation from the photos, I lean towards the Roush centers as they give the wheel a clean look.

Dam good lookin' car. Love 5 spokes and black on black would have been too much, for me.
Your new wheels w/the OE chrome accents on that car is very sharp. I like the chrome centers, too.
Your first shot is almost my favorite angle on the car, which is about half way between where you were standing and straight on.

I say the Brembo center caps look best imho.
As for the springs I think the Sportlines are too slammed......I had the FRPP Psprings with my stock tires and it looked great, now that I have changed the tires/wheels to a lower profile I will be going with the UltraLite springs. I think any lower and it woudl not look right to me.
Either way the car LOOKS GREAT overall! good job.
