Damn that thing looks mean as hell. The Fikse's are sick, but I'd totally rock the DarkStars on the street too hahaha.

^^^ OP, my Darkstars just came in yesterday. The first pics you posted is what sealed the deal for me on them. I was torn between the BS Street Lites and the Darkstars, but after seeing how they look on Pewter, I had to have them. I'm super impressed with the finish of the wheels and how good they actually look. I test fit one front and one rear and it looks like the rears are going to fit without having to grind any on the brake caliper.

Looks awesome. I was wanting to get some Darkstars but not sure if they'd look good on a maroon car. Probably just get some polished aluminum.

I've still been going back and forth on tires, but I think I've finally decided what I want, so I'm going to order them today. Once they get here, I'll take the wheels/tires to get mounted and ballanced and put them on; should be sometime mid to late next week. I'll start a new thread with pics once they're on.

I just bought a set of 15x10 Darkstars for $320 on ebay, shipped. Tell me I didn't score. Anyway, they look good on this car. Makes me wanna buy tires for mine, but I don't have fronts.. ugh.

Mine (the dark stars) were brand new in the box. Traded my polished racestars which i paid $550 shipped for them brand new (a couple years ago)... so i guess you could say i got them for $550

I've always wanted em, and with the 15x10s being 328 or so a piece plus shipping I figured I couldn't pass on two of them for 320.

Beware...the Racestar lugs, at least the Chrome/silver ones, are shitty. Rusted out REALLY quick. Got a set of McGuards for the rear and they are real nice. Will be getting fronts soon to replace the crap ones too.
