updated pics of my ride with the new wheels

Ok, so I dumped the chrome 19's I originally put on my G. I went with 20 inch OZ ultraleggera HLT rims with Yokohama S drive tires. They are pretty darn light!! I think they said 23 lbs per rim, for 20's I think thats pretty good. Any ways, here's some pics, you'll notice the grille is also black now and the car has been badged as a skyline. I also upgraded to the sports brakes. The fujitas and sway bars are also on, but I didn't take pics yet. So whats the verdict, before or after, which is better???

Old look:




New and improved, IMO:

I have the Tanabe nf210 springs already installed, but I'm waiting to see what kind of coilovers come out before I upgrade in that direction.

Looks awesome with the blacked out grill and the new wheels.. I don't really care for the bading.. I always take all the badges off of my car.. However that's just my opinion!!!! Also nice shine on your paint... I just detailed my VR today

Looks 10x better!... All that open space in the rim even makes the Sport Brakes look Tiny...
