Edges of the rims look like they've lived the life of track wheels from repeated tyre mountings.
I know my R6's wheels weren't pretty anymore after a season of racing and having new tyres mounted by the Dunlop truck at the track every weekend!

I'm a huge fan of the "modded-but-still-looks-factory" look.
wouldn't that be the nismo model?

Good lord, do you ever stop complaining? Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?


"Wah, you beat me with a baseball bat, locked me in a trunk for weeks, and then left me to die somewhere in the desert"


Let it go already. You sound like a wuss

I'm not a huge fan of the Nismo rear end or spoiler. The ducktail Gurney has on there is slightly more aggressive, but still subtle. The lower stance helps, too.
His colour scheme is really good, and I'm a fan of the red brakes and cross-drilled rotors

true true. is he still lowered? i thought he raised it back to stock height again? the dark wheels do look great on the 40th for sure.
