take off the bottom wing and change your tail lights back to stock, and the rims will look just fine. also put HIDs in those projector headlights.

I like the lip and the design of the rim, just not a fan of all black rims.. if you could machine that lip silver it'd be badass

The wheels look fine to me.

Question, you got a plastic lip for winter so you don't damage your CF one? But don't you think CF has a better chance of surviving since it is stronger?

its not about what lip can withstand more beating, its about the pricetags,

300$ vs 60$

good job with

1.) loosing the altezzas
2.) loosing the mid wing
3.) loosing the R badge on the grill

4.) if its not a sponsor or ur crew loose the rear sticker too

other then that clean car , the rims should look pretty sick
