I agree it looked great with the lip but since it all scraped up I rather have it off for now until I can have it painted. Due to be painted next season with the hardtop + any other parts I buy over the winter that would require a paint match. Do it right or don't do it, right haha.

I picked up an 04 suzuka not too long ago and I thought I would stick with silver wheels, but after seeing yours, im really liking the black wheels, black hardtop, and red caliper look. Very nice.

Yeah, that is the crazy thing. I was never a fan of black wheels. Bought the Volks to use as winter wheels (yes older bro already made it clear how crazy I am to get Volks for "winter wheels") lol. So I plasti-dip it black so its not that faded gold pink color and now Im in love with the black wheel look and I might get it professional refinished in black. + same with the red caliper, bought the car like that and wanted to paint it black but now I do like the little bit of red peeking out. Would not keep it red if it was a BBK tho.
And thanks-

17x8(+36) and 17x9(+36) Algernon Intelesse Textured Gunmetal Faces w/ Polished Lips


Bought from: SN Mastermind NA of Apartment 9 wheels: Review, Not much to say other then the deal was quick and easy. A+ costumer services. Respond to PMs in a timely manner, picked up call right away.Shipped next day + tracking info. Wheels left them on Friday and got to my local FEDEX on Wednesday(Coast to coast). Wheels are as good as used wheels can be A++. Love em. Went as best as I could hope on a big ($ wise) online deal. Would buy from again and recommend anyone looking for wheels (and was told they can import other automotive parts) from them.

On to the pics.





I would only suggest to them to get a better camera or get better at white balance(no hate haha)
but this is the pic they had of the wheels and I think I capture the color of the Gunmetal better lol.
