Default new wheels

i got new wheels today,traded the zr-1's for LG G2 wheels with a 2.5 inch polished lip from LS69TA all the way around and the center is kinda a natural finish silver, they are 17x9.5 all the way around, think the zr-1 17x11 was hurting the performance of my car. all in all i am digging the new color setup it is really sweet, im gonna have to say i actually like it more than the graphite color(the graphite wheels actually looked a lot better on his red WS6 i thought than on my green TA), get some pics later today after i get it cleaned up when we are done changing the bearings on the rear end
