They're only the winters so I'm not concerned too much about a whole winter colour scheme. If they were summers, then I'd maybe do a little more.

They're stock wheels on stock suspension, so no, the fenders don't have to be rolled. They are rolled for the benefit of summer wheel fitment mind you.

Again, it's just a winter setup. Not that it's too big a deal, but co-ordination with my summers is of a higher priority to be honest.

Actually, the wife's have been coated the same colour, so notch up a second set. In fairness, all the BBS were ruined by Mitsu when they decided to use clip on weights!

^I hear that!

Orange on GG is great in my books. You don't have to run that on a track not to be a "poser".

Chebosto - is that a matte gray paint job or did you use the new satin clear bra to give the paint a satin look?

I might be buying Orange TE37's for my GG Evo 9.

Judging from the pics, i think it'll look good. I think as long as you have an aggressive stance, you should good.

Wheels are their own piece... PLEASE i repeat...PLEASE do NOT start putting color matched accents all over the car. It looks stupid and ridiculous. Orange is a cool color for the wheels. NOT door handles or some other random parts. lol

Not a big fan of extreme color wheels in street cars... leave that to track cars and motorcycles...

BUT to each its own and if it will make you happy then
