and oh yeah ...much needed mods OTW soon, hope to be done by August. I will accompany better quality pics with the new mods hahah...
- oem mtech kit
- kw street comfort coils

thanks for all the help.. Ryan
I look at your car picture where the car was (before) and then look at the picture where your car presently is (after) with the 166 and then I go look at my 166 on my car --- Love them more everyday -- Actually cant stop looking at them

One thing is that you gotta keep them CLEAN and it takes me a half hour to clean them every time I wash my car but love how they look -- Just wish they made a 20 inch OEM in that style and fitting

PS : Not sure what tire sizes your running but if your not running numbers like me or higher, good luck on NY Streets

I got rid of the OEM brake pads and got posi-quiet semi-metallics from Trinity. Ever since then I barely have to clean my wheels. Maybe once a week.
