i like them both alot. i love white with gold gta's, and i love blue with chrome, especially ttII's. i would just say to get your gf to pay for that dent and you would be good.

Those aren't GTA wheels on that white car.

N24 Turbo Fin Aluminum Wheels

They are not the same as N89 Turbo Cast Aluminum Wheels.

Lookin good...love the wax job on the teal

Personally if you want constructive criticism, I'd suggest putting the teal car's wheels on the white car, and getting something a little bigger for the teal car...maybe 17 or 18 inch, nothing bigger (non-GFX cars look weird with anything bigger than 18...even that is pushing it)

Just my $0.02

With the N24 Turbo fin wheels, you can not mount the bolwing ball caps. The N89 Turbocast wheels have mounting provisions for the caps. The outer rim design is different witht he N24's having a wider lip vs the one one on the N89.

Man registered in Mar 2002 and this is my first post?!?! Where the heck have I been?

At least mine is understanding, she knows she will never drive mine, wants me to build her one someday but my rs is getting airride, lotsa power, plus my huge garage, a badass powerstroke to tow it and a real nice gooseneck car hauler before she gets hers.....She's got some time hehe, on a plus side since she is the only one to ride in it since i put the carpet in she takes her shoes off before she gets in...I dont

the white car looks great with both. and the blue car looks great with the ttII's and alright with the gold. I thought it was pretty cool, til I read what you said about the WRX and then realized it was true. SO yea, go back to the old way. You got a couple of nice rides man, enjoy.
