PS Holla when you're in Bklyn next time - let's have lunch/coffee or smth
I hear ya. Feels like something is missing. Doesn't look aggressive to me. Maybe if it were darker. I'm always around. Let me know.

Those wheels are sick! but I vote for Gloss black.. bronze doesnt seem to mash well with Indy Red it seems... but still looks bad ass! By the way what size are the wheels and offsets? also what size tires you running?

Maybe red center cap? I feel like it's something very small - some kind of a detail. I mean, you feeling this too, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be posting this questionnaire... anyway, PHAT ride, dudes!!! PHAT!!!

I think they look great, but something does seem missing. The wheels look better in all the pictures where the tires look darker. Maybe some tireshine? haha. I too am getting tired of the black lips, so its cool that you did something different. Maybe a bronze caliper paint job would set them off?

Still not really feeling it. Everyone is right tho. It does seem like something is missing. Either the stretch on the rears are too much or the 15mm spacers push it out a tad bit more than I would prefer. They look smaller than your Donz wheels too. The matte centers look more like a charcoal grey matte rather than a straight black matte.. Although its been done already, I personally think the gloss black would look much better. The black 166's are still clean as F8ck tho.

I have to go with the majority here - something doesen't seem right. My vote goes to gloss black, IMO it goes better with the overall look of the car.
