You have a keen eye ! Those were the original Sportec one piece forged mono 10's that 3T Motorsport used to import. I was able to get my hands on one of the last sets before Sportec re-organized and discontinued them. They were phenomenal wheels. Interestingly, I also had a set of the current mono 10 as well. Frankly, I don't think that they compare to the originals. BBS now makes the mono 10 for Sportec, and they are no longer a forged design. But, rather, they utilize a "flow form" process. I've since sold both sets.

Johhny D. Both photos are sweet. Very nice job and each is impressive. I too like the first photo but i think its because of those wheels. Love the additions to the new one. Once I get the "hidden" mods done on mine I will do some visuals as well.

Haha...me too. I like the OEM Aerokit II bodykits, but personally, I think Danger's kit is a bit over the top. To each his own though.

Before:


After: I'm going to install OEM Aerokit 1 sideskirts soon though.
