Toronto weather still sucks. No time for washing yet. So no close up photos. Also, I have rubbing issue at the back when 2 people are in, so I have to rise the rear a bit. It looks a bit high for my taste. Hopefully will get that fix after I mod the fender. Anyone knows how beside remove the fender screw? I tired to fold back the fender but it doesn't work well.
So here it is, white car on white rims. Doesn't look that bad, does it?

The white on white looks good on your car. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif Do you have any side shots of the whole car? I hope you find a better solution than to raise the rear of the car because as of now it does look a little high.

You can get rid of rubbing by partially grinding the fender scews in your wheelwell. I had the same problem at first. Now I can have four fully grown adults in my car with minimal rubbing http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
Your car looks great http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

The front lip is OEM Vortex.
Thanks Derek. Please post some pics after you have install the new wheels.
I will post some side shots later.

Nice job, I think I may have saw you on Woodbine/14th this afternoon. I flashed at you

Where did you get the wheels from? is it one of the local dealer? if you can post the name of the place, I want to pay them a visit.
I am looking at the Spyn "motiv" wheel, don't know if they are on sale.
thanks a bunch

Those are looking great, I'm really starting to re-think these in a black or gunmetal center. RX93 what did you end up going with?

Still prefer the gun metal, but white looks good too.

Let me know when you start washing cars... I'll come. Hopefully the weather gets better. Btw, do you have a clay bar? I think my G35 might need a good wash.

I saw you too, I just dont know who it was. Sorry Henry.
I got the wheels from Hi Standard Wheels & Tires (OK Tires), speak to Gabe, he will remember me and give you a good price.

We do clay bar as well, but is it that bad after not even a year? Did you park outside a lot?
End of April should be good. i can't wait too.
