They probably slapped those on for the photo shoot. There's no way you would be able to drive it set up like so. I'm not a fan of "bling bling" wheels or anything that are "look at me" shiny chrome except for the polished lip.

This is one of my favorite body kits. I looked into having it shipped but my jaws dropped when my wife asked them how much to ship it here.
It would look really nice with 17x8 and 17x9 .

No, it's just I have a very close relationship with SSR rims.
It helps to have the US distributor of SSR rims local to me in Hawaii!
I love most of their designs too.
There's a lot of knock-off rims out there with very similar designs, but the SSR stuff is bank.

You're a lucky man!

I also love almost every SSR rim design. Best rims on the market if you ask me.

Ack...Eurosport. They can kiss my ***.
Some dumb *** there lost interest when I asked for a certain part for an RX7. That place and most damn so called "speed shops" are so pro-Honda and Integra, it makes me sick. The last time I walked into a local "speed shop wanna be" was the old Hypersports.
I went to get a safety check once at a shop and 4 idiots were under the car looking at the exhaust and looking under the hood.
"What bra... takes that many guys to do a safety check?"

No way you can get the kit for 900 CDN. No way.
The whole kit costs about $2000 in the US. The cheapest I can get it in Japan is 150,000 yen...minus shipping.
900 CDN is about 696.00 US.
Maybe the front bumper but not the kit.
