As many of you will already recognize, the wheels are 18" TZ-10's.

P.S. Thanks to all the help from Ryan, Brad, Onsled, and Alex about the wheels. I really appreciate it!

That looks very, very similar to Mark's (SmoothIsQuick) car. Look like the same wheels to me. Same rubber bands for tires. Same colours. All you need is the limo tint and checkerboard mirror caps.
Very nice.

Yup! I also put on H-sport springs and Comp. rear sway shortly after I installed my wheels.

Yes, lol. I have custom "Ryesprings" that are about 1.75" lower than stock.

God I am absolutely TORN between the 10 and 7 spoke Exels! I really like them both. I would prefer them in 8 spoke just because I like symetry, but oh well. I have always wanted a set of the 10's on my other cars but usually went with classic 5's in the end. I REALLY like the look of the 10's, but I'm afraid it will look a little busy in person on such a small car. I LOVE them on Astin Martin DB9's though Does anyone have a pic of the 7's? I can't find any posts with them, I'm not sure if anyone has them here. I photoshopped a couple pics and I think they look really good, but it's a little hard to tell. I did a comparison sheet here and most people think the 7's look better. At this point I could go either way, they are both excellent...ARGH! I am going to order in 2 weeks and can't decide!
