I put it in my other post, but I kinda figured it would get pushed down further.

If anyone else reads this, if you would, please comment, and or put BTTT. All of my posts get pushed down quick.

Looks alright, but I have a feeling it would look even better if the gfx were painted body color instead of silver. You need to repaint your nose anyway Joe...

Yeah, the nose needs to be repainted, I got a estimate on that, only like $100. But, the silver ground effects will stay! I love the cars exterior scheme, and no way is it changing!

Sorry Lance, but I think the silver gfx look killer on Joe's 'Bird. But I also like the crosslaced over the 5-star wheels. JMHO.

for *** 's sake dont do it! that car is so beautiful but would look so ridiculous with those wheels. if anything, i think 17" versions of the same type wheel would look best.

Well, I guess if it makes you feel better, the wheels are about one of the LAST things on my list of stuff to do. But, I am going to do it, I was going to go with some ROH Snypers awhile ago, but tons of people have them, and I want something a little different. Although, I have been thinking about doing the 30th wheels since about a month after I got my car.

BTW, I have a strong dislike for the crosslace wheels, not because I dont think they look good, because I think they look great. IMO, the best looking stock 3rdgen wheels. But, keeping them clean sucks outright. Working with a toothbrush and wheel cleaner just isnt my idea of a good time!!
