Default Darkstars!!

I had really liked the prostars I had on my car, but was bored after all these years. I thought about getting them powder coated black, but just decided to ditch them all together and go with the darkstar wheels. I'm so glad I decided on that because these wheels gave my car a whole new look.

Wheels look good OP. Would really set them off is to put a red pin strip around the outer part of the wheel to flow with the car and the red in the center cap. Just my $0.02 though or what I would do really.

Fitment is great, but I had already done some clearancing from when I had the prostars. I think I need to adjust one of my lca because the passenger side looks to be a little too far back and is causing it to rub on that back flap sometimes, but that's about it. They are 28x11.5 ET streets

Looks awesome. I sold my prostars so I'm in the process of looking for some wheels too. After seeing yours, I'm leaning towards these also.
