Took off the black ASA Racing wheels with their peeling silver lip, couldn't stand them any longer as they really insulted the car. After much consideration I decided on a set of multi-piece iForged Daytonas in a rather aggressive fitment.:roundel

Before with tired grey grill, ASA wheels, and OEM DRLs

I LIKE! The deep lip on the rear is damn sexy. You get those here in town?

I prefer these wheels over the others. I couldn't really see the other ones because they were too dark. This gives you some contrast now.

Looks great. Love the wheels, the pics, and the car. You post those beautiful pics in the Black ZHP gallery?

I have to ask. Was there a "pucker factor" parking your car on a blind curve like that....getting out, and taking a pic?

Bad. Ass. And, I am envious of that interior.

Thanks for the comments, it's 18x8.5 / 9.5, not certain of the offset or weight with tire dismounted, the wheels were shipped in from out of state. There was a little pucker factor not because of the location itself (it's actually my street of residence by lake Travis so I am familiar with the traffic or better lack of), but because of the aggressive downhill curve, parked it in reverse gear with the parking brake locked all the way, it still creaked a little trying to hold the car in place. We have some outstanding roads in my immediate area for driving too (Lime Creek Road, Bullick Hollow).

I have said it before, and ill say it again. I like lip. lots and lots of lip. Good call.

i think if you went a tad lower it would look better. those wheels are nice though. disappointed there isn't just a side shot of the car with the wheels, just angles.

I'll take some more after I get the new suspension and the wheels are being sent up to Dallas tomorrow to have the lips stripped and repolished, along with machining the barrels & waxing them (I really dislike seeing road grime/tar/dust in there, always clean those when I was the car, every three days)

Here's a camera phone pic post wheel rebuild, refinish, and repolishing. I'll take better ones with my DSLR once the new suspension is on ;)

The interior color is called natural brown montana but looks more orange with the sun directly against it in that first picture.
