    I think I definately want another set of wheels...the zigens are great, but have the potential to rub. Granted, I'd like to roll the fenders...I am just not sure where to go next. Rota has some lovely alternatives of course and right up there on my list are the RE knockoffs and the p1s (I think...?)

    18x8 19.2lb Rota (lightest one yet!)

    They're top hats...but they're also camber & caster adjustment plates. Most top level coilovers will have something uptop that isnt just a rubber top hat. Its a hat that can adjust camber so when you go to the track, autox, you can dial in more simply by losening and moving the strut and retightening.

    As I get some snaps of the christmas presents, here's a great gift from the lovely lady. The color is awesome, its engraved on the back, and the size is perfect for basically setting up a new playlist every week. Its a solid replacement to the everfailing Dell DJ as well ;)

    Very nice man. Can't go wrong with either color, but "gunmetalish" or steel gray has my vote. :D

    I agree... don't think you can go wrong with either color, though I think a WRB with Bronze wheels is smokin'. If you car were any other color I'd say the gunmetal color.

    Bronze is 100% my first choice, they were out of stock, so we thought we'd try this. After seeing the photos, I am going to hold off until the bronze are in.
