omg, so jealous! i was gonna get those wheels from japan parts too, but they're wider than i'd like, i'm waiting for 18x8.

At least i get to see them on a sick car before i buy them too! did the wheel caps come with the wheels?

btw, what's that cquartz coating cost? and how long do you expect it to last on the wheels? and where did you get the Louvers if you don't mind me asking, it's a great idea cause my car sees the sun a lot.

The louvers are really nice...too bad they broke up the bottom one. Would look nicer if they were continuous and included a 3rd brake light LED relocation kit. Would have looked so boss. Ugh

My goodness, those louvres and those wheels... Just...wow

Thank ya. The center caps are optional for an extra $80.

CQuartz... I can't disclose the cost but you may ask the place I got it done (http://www.elitefinishdetailing.com/) directly if you're interested. CQuartz claims 2 years but I expect it to last longer given my driving habits (more on why I went w/ CQuartz over Opti-Coat here).

I ordered the louvers here through Japanparts on 2/13, they got it from TRD on 2/20 and shipped out the same day, and I received it on 2/24.

Andrew those wheels were and are the perfect choice for your car well done!! Any drive ability issue at all with the offset and 255/35/18s at your height?

And man ya the louvers look great to, at first I was like "meh" but they're really growing on me.

chanomatik · 03-10-2014, 01:51 PM

Very bold putting on the louvers. Overall, I like it. I'm wondering about your rear visibility, though. Can you take a shot from the inside looking back?

Otherwise... DEM WHEELZ!

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, someone needs to make knock off louvers. I need those in my life but not as bad as I need $900 in my life.

Knock off louvers that aren't broken at the bottom. detracts from the look imho. Was going to get the $300 beatsonic roof spoiler but if there is a knock off version I might change my mind.

humanshield · 03-10-2014, 06:13 PM

wheels look perfect. great choice.

leicaboss · 03-10-2014, 06:22 PM

Woah those louvres are badass! More pictures, please! I'm sure you'd be happy to oblige

Interior shots looking out from driver's point of view would be awesome. Thanks! Keep up the build!
