Alright. You sir have a pm.

+1 on the 521's. Especially if you always keep them as shiny as in the picture

I hand wash my car on a weekly basis, shouldn't be a problem!
All the silver ones seem to be out of stock though, do you think they're discontinued?

If so, I was thinking of possibly getting these TSW Valencia Silver w/ Mirror Cut Lip Wheels
There's no point in getting the 8in wide ones because there's hardly any lip, so I'd have to go 9.5in +20 offset.

No its probably just temporary. I thought the gold faced ones were discontinued until I checked again after a couple of weeks. 9.5 +20 would put you somewhere around the fitment I have, maybe slightly less poked out. Idk if you're lowered but I think you would have to be to pull it off, but I'm sure they would still look good. I'm on stock suspension right now and it looks kind of silly with my wheels haha and it might just be the stretch that looks dumb when it isn't needed. But for the price of the tsw you should check out some stuff by varrstoen. The xxr's are reps of bbs lm's and I think the varrstoen versions are a lot nicer reps but a little more expensive

Thanks for the info, and no I'm not lowered at the moment. Coilovers are my next mod as soon as I can afford them, but I'm always on the hunt for the perfect wheels.

Weekly wash, decided to take some pics.

nice and clean. I need a set of tail lights baddd

clean white GP!

clean.

you have a nice camera and take good pictures, but what bugs me is... so many shadows. shoot the sunlit side, not the shadowed side you can always play with balancing later if its over exposed.

Thank you sir! The harsh spring/summer sun is horrible for photos, pictures always come out super bright in one area and pitch dark in another. Ever tried to shoot at a car show in the early morning or afternoon? Sucks big time!

The main reason why I was shooting the shaded part of the car is because I wanted catch some afternoon solar flare with a low f-stop. Also, I think the rear of the car looks much better than the front.

All of these photos are edited by the way, that's why they look really high def. This time I was using my dad's camera instead of my own because I wanted to try out his super wide angle lens. I think they turned out pretty nice even though his Nikon is kind of a pain to get settings just right.

Just remembered that I never updated about installing a Transgo shift kit, it rocks my socks and I highly recommend to all gp owners. I put an extra spring in the 1-2 accumulator because racecar and now downshifts into first really throw me back. I wouldn't recommend putting an extra spring in though because while it's all fun and a really satisfying feeling every once in a long while (emphasis on long) the car will pop quickly out and back into first at WOT.

Once again I am depressed about having an auto.
