    My wheels arrived today! [NEW DAY TIME PICS!]

    New wheels came in today! It's a big step from 16-inch wheels.

    I've spent a total of 6 hours installing them:
    - 2 hours replacing the left side (includes removing the old blue caliper paint).
    - 2 hours staring at them before moving on to the right side.
    - 2 hours replacing the right side (also includes removing the old caliper paint).


    She's a bit dirty but I'll wash her tomorrow and get some day time pics.

    Some night time pics for now:


    Anyone notice how far I parked from the curb? LOL!

    Brand, size, offset?, I like the polished lip a lot, especially in the back, looks dope. They look familiar, I just can't place what company makes them

    It's an Azul Razr, 18x7.5 with +40 offset. Tires are Toyo Proxes4, 225/40/18.

    I still don't know if I need to roll the fenders though, it seems like it's gonna clear, but we'll see, I need to do some more test. I'm just too tired right now.

    I was thinking about that, either black or maybe even silver. I just don't like the old blue color I had there before, it doesn't blend well with the gold, hehehe.
