HOLY WHEEL GAP! That's classic! I'll be taking care of that soon. Still trying to decide between TRD and TEIN. I wish I would have gotten 45 series instead of 40, but too late now.

Looks great! On a 17" rim with a 40 series tire you need atleast a 2" drop...I would either go with the Gold-Lines or the Tannabe DF210's so it eliminates most of the whhel gap but still leaves you plenty of clearance. I'am running 17's with a 40 series tire and I'am dropped 2" with the Gold-Line springs...The ride is awesome and I have never rubbed...Hit up www.randode.com for Gold-Lines...

Id also suggest HKS SK5's as a spring choice. Low drop.

Hey Brian I tried searching those springs and couldn't find them...The only ones I saw were the HKS SF5's...What is the drop on those springs? Any link for them? Thx...

And here I was thinking I was the only one with them. I don't think there is any chance of our rides being confused for eachother though. Very original idea w/ the flames going from blue to white and then back again. Nice detail on the tails also. So, how long have you had the rims? Has the paint held up well? If you can, get me a flush shot of the rear tires w/ the shims.

thank you for the kind words. I've had the rims since Christmas time. I got mine from Discount Tire. I originally wanted the flat black ones but those were all gone. I'll have to get you a pic later tonight, I don't have one right now.

here is some pics of the rear tires with the OTG 10mm shims:

I had 20mm spacers on and I loved the look but the tires would rub bad on the fender. I was goping to roll the fender but I wasn't too comfortable with the 20mm spacers. the OTG spacers also gives you just enough clearance between the inside of the rim and the arm.
