I like the C2s better. But it's your car, if you're happy, who cares?

I post this type of thread too get a good laugh Those wheels are probably going to confuse the people around here even more as to what type of car it is. I will be installing the new c-west lights, greddy pulleys and new front bumper lights next week.

you are going to catch flak from the hard-core 7 owners, oh well, The fact of the matter is that most women and non enthusiasts (the majority of the population) preffer bling over performance. The C2s were kinda trite anyhow.
I personally like the sleeper look of the jspec stock 17" 5-spokers.

The ADRs look like chrome-versions of SSR GT1, except the ADRs are heavier (I think). It's your car, do what you please. Just don't get too disappointed when you get non-approval from the hardcore FD owners LOL

Like I said earlier I get a kick out of everyone's responces. I enjoy the feedback but I don't take it too seriously. As we all know everyone has their own opinion.

Next I thinking about a little bling bling on the calipers and maybe a little more bling under the hood

The C2's are probably better built that the ADR's but I think that chrome looks awesome on MB cars. Those wheels look killer man...... The one thing that the C2's had over the ADR's is the machined lip, but that it IMO.

I would have to say that the C2's are definately a "classier" look, however the ADR's are still a nice looking piece. Man...your paint...it's amazing, how did you do it?? Great looking car, with either wheel in my opinion.

I think the car looks very good. I hate people who critisize people that get "knockoff wheels". Unless u autox or drag or anything else where every pound counts, then who gives a **** what kind of wheels u get!!!! i dont kno about u but i think i can find lots of better things to buy for 3500 then a set of rims and tires!!!

Thanks for the compliments...

All the shots from the front and back are old. I will take new ones once I have the lights installed. I have not installed the pulleys yet. I will do that this week once my new couplings get here. There will be no more red under my hood.

When? I will be leaving for Houston Friday AM. Maybe before that?
Dude my car is starting to scream more fuel!! It is pulling so hard @ 15psi! But I can only get one or two runs in before my fuel pump starts complaining! So I guess it is time to add a 2nd pump!
