    just wanted to share a picture of my new car. Two days after a purchase I could not stand OEM 15" wheels that came with the car so after searching this forum I decided to install Tanabe lowering springs and new 18" wheels.
    They are Drag DR-31 white finish.
    More pictures coming.:D

    That looks great. Has to be one of the best wheel mods I've seen yet.

    I'll tell ya .... I am generally NEVER a fan of color keyed wheels, but in your case I happily make an exception. That looks awesome !! Great job, and great choices !
