    Should I go with Alex's 5Zigen wheels

    OR
    His silver BBS wheels powdercoated to look like this?

    EDIT: for some reason it will only show the link and not the picture...click on it
    This is the overall look I'm going for, minus the fuel door

    hwat kind of rear wing is it in the linked picture??

    The wheels in the picture look like Advan RG (or something) 18". Join the last might GB of Rota Boost, which is replica of Advan.

    The wheels on that white sti are also 5zigens btw...Just FYI, mine are 17x8, et 35. If you do not have your rear slammed, you should have no rubbing issues in the back. PM me.

    I'm thinking that they are gramlights.

    Oh, I thought it said Volk on the front wheel... Alex, I'm actually thinking of getting the 5zigens now, but I'd like to get them powdercoated a little bit darker bronze. I wonder what it would look like to powdercoat the inner wheel darker bronze and leave the 'dish' the same color that it is now...

    Alright, you might as well powdercoat them anyway. When they were shipped to me the guy didnt use any sort of packing material so the lips are sorta ish'd. With a tiny bit of work, they'd be perfect again. That, and 5zigen paint isnt all that great. Tell me, what sort of tires are on your BBS right now, what condition are they in?

    I suppose they could be gramlights...

    I like the first ones better too, but the gramlights in the pic would be even hotter :)
