Default NBM and RTS

Put some new wheels on the TA. Fronts are 26/6 SRs and rears are 275/60/15 with RTS. I lowered the front end with some BMR springs (Thanks Rich!) and did the HH mod out back until I save up for QA1s or Strange. I wish I could lower the rear just a bit more but if I did I literally couldn't get out of my driveway.

Just a few random pics I've snapped here and there since I put them on. Let me know what you guys think.

I'm having the hardest time deciding between the black RTS and the polished street lites.

I'd say it's a damn good problem to have. Once my CCW's are sold, I'm getting polished street lites.

This was my exact delima. I came to the realization that they both look awesome but on blue the street lites looked just a little too plain. They'd look damn good on red though, especially with black accents!

That's my issue. I like the polished street lites better then the black one and I like the black RTS better than the polished ones. If my car had some black accents than i think the black street lites would be killer. I actually want to do the 17x4 black Alumastar 2.0 1 piece fronts and 15x10 black RTS rears but those fronts are expensive.

I don't think it looks too plain.

That pic was from 4 years ago before you even joined the forum. I was just happy to get them on the car after the fiasco with that company "the billet spot". It took me 6 months to get that straight.

When you're looking at my tailights you won't mind those tacky letters.....

Baha..and I thought this thread was dead before I went on vacation!

BTW...get the serial numbers off of the wheel before you mount the tire so you can get your rebate.

Yeah, I already got it and sent the rebate form off. Now I need to order the fronts but got to get some other stuff for my DD first. The rebate that Weld is giving plus the free shipping and handling that summit is giving made it a no brainer decision. I always thought the RTS's were more than the Billet specialties but I guess I was looking at the 17's..
