I remember wanting them back then but could never seem to get my hands on a set in stock. I waited a few months and finally settled for FF7 motegis.

I couldn't believe that cheap rims were as hard to get as expensive ones. But that was the case for them at the time.

They still look great.

Now making its' NAM debut . . .

OK, guys and girls,

Here is some fresh pics of my recently-lowered '05 MCS. I know, too many rock chips and road grime. It's been a long winter and I've taken it on two very long road trips in January in the western US. I will re-fresh the paint one of these days.

Latest shots. Got lightly rear ended recently and had to replace the rear bumper cover, so I had all the trim painted as well. Next is to paint the wheels. Any thoughts on whether to go black or gunmetal?

The trim around the arches, sills, bumper - if they were painted gloss black to match the tailight housing, I think it would look stunning, really finish it off (I'm not a fan of the black plastic)
