New shoes and socks for my baby!
My before pic:
My after pics:
19 inch BBS LM rims, Nitto 555 tires, zimmerman rotors and brembo pads
What do you guys think? I was thinking of getting turbo twist wheels instead but i was thinking it looked too much like my stock 17 inch rims.

Very nice! Are the centers painted? Drilled rotors look good as well... you can see them alot better.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

One question though... why the Nitto 555's? Aren't they basically drag tires?

my buddies over here recommended them to me, they stick pretty good and have a good treadwear rating of 300. I was gonna get toyo t1r but they cost more and hade a treadwear rating of just 280.
I think you were pertaining to the nitto 555R (for drag use). I have the nitto 555 only which is for street use.
Thanks for looking!

Ah, that must be it. I thought they only made the 555R... didn't know about a street version.

that's my next move actually. It might take me a while coz those rims/rotor/tires just broke the bank. I've been surf'n the net and clear headlights are gonna cost me around $500 for a pair. The rear lights are gonna cost me $200 for a pair too. If anybody knows a cheaper source please tell me!
thanks for the kind words btw!

I was so gonna comment on that... It's TOTALLY the way the light/sun is shining into the wheel wells. If you notice the BEFORE pictures, it looks fine. I've got pictures of my car where you'd swear I put a lift kit in it. Lighting is everything in pictures!
