New look?

Anyways I've been deciding to go with a new look rather then what ive had planned.

I wanted to get a couple opinions on what you guys think.



The red lettering is what i have right now, the black is what im debating to get over the winter.

I wish i had a camera so I can show you what i have now, but unfortunatly I dont. All my money and time has been going into this car.

I felt like i wanted to go for a more "agressive look" so i mocked this up last night.

The kobalt blue is this color...

sounds good, im guessing that you will be getting at least a 15/16x9 -20 since you have the 50mm rears, good luck with everything. i really like your illustration, diagram thingy.

you are about the skinny negative offset wheels huh? i say get atleast 10" wide... highly negative offset wheels really start to stress certain suspension components

well i was suggesting that as a starting point, im thinking a 9 - 20 would be flush but a 10 -10 would be better.

I would go with a 10" wide wheel on the rear if I can find one along the lines of Konig rewind, Panasport, Watanabe etc...

but since i cant find any I was planning on going with a 9 inch rear with about -15 and a 25mm Spacer to bring it close to flush ( i hope) lol

Ayuaddict: Thanks, Ive been doing vector work for awhile now

I have not put much thought into suspension yet because my car already Bottems out on 215/50/15 tires... If I do drop it, it's going to be about an inch to an inch and a half lowering all around, nothing more.

and if you go with a silver for your car xdriftin240x, check out titanium silver from house of Kolor, that's one of the colors i was thinking of.. but i picked blue.

too bad you already have the 50mm wide rear quarter panels, cause if you went with the 30mm wide ones from origin your wheel selection might be easier

Nice draw up, best "this is what i plan to do" thread. Only problem is you don't need any wide fenders for the rear. I have 18x10 +18 rear wheels ad they are flush on stock fenders.
