Haven't really been on here in a while.. but I upgraded wheels.

Went with the Black SVE Drifts
18x9 in front and 18x10 in back.

Running Sumitumo 275/35/18 in front and Nitto 555r 305/35/18 in back
Really pleased with how it all came out to look. Its different for comp orange.

yes yes, chrome does look very nice on this color and so does true forged, etc.
not enough money in these pockets for a set of AFS or those yet! ...yet.

I've been doing a lot of debating about going with these wheels,,,,wasn't sure how they'd look....those the flat black?

Anyway, those are sick! Car looks amazing!

I like the wheels

Why would you get two different tread patterns on the front and the back?

I had two different patterns for a while (Front were Coopers and the back where N555R) and over 70 they did not play nice together and it pulled left and right at random times. Until I changed my front wheels to the same pattern as the back. (N555 and N555R) Then they were fine.

That's a good look! Have you thought about tinted tails and a tinted third brake light? Smoked or black housing headlights as well!

Yeah I'm not a big fan of the tinted headlights. Taillights, maybe.

But thanks everyone! The pictures don't do the car justice.

Solid black wheels just look so much better (IMO) with tinted tails and smoked/black housing headlights (regardless of car color). It's hard to bring a solid black wheel to justice without tire shine too IMO.

What's your mod list now?

I think they look good. CO is my favorite Terminator color too!

Be careful on those DR's, and probably would have gone with a same brand front though. Different for CO but looks good.

I'm running r888 out back and potenzas in the front. Wouldn't pay that much for those tires to go in the front. I wanted a good steering tire in the front. Bre looks good!
