Default Long overdue first pics of my car

These are some quick pics I took at my parents house. Got the car last July, only a couple small mods: Alpine HU, modifry DCI, painted side markers/emblems, and painted stockers (which are for sale).



Oh and I did get some really rare JDM wheels that have never been used. They are Carving Stark III 's Fronts are 17x8 43 offset, rears 17x9 +47 offset. Contemplating selling these since I want some 18" Works/Volks. Although, I do feel like they could look real nice with black centers and considering I have never seen them on an S2k I would like to be the first.



Also, if someone could photoshop the wheels onto the car with black centers that would be much appreciated.

Last question as you can see my car came with a repainted front bumper, anyone have a suggestion how to get the black "vents" back? Paint thinner?

I think you should definitely go with those wheels. I've never even seen those... will make your car a little bit unique from the rest . Be careful, you might have to roll your fenders.

Give those wheels a try. You must drop your car though. These wheels have potentials. Don't think blacking out the center is really necessary.

yeah i agree with not blacking out the center. I think this wheel set up does have potential as well. You are gonna have a unique s2k i have never seen these wheels ever so i think thumbs up on that.. that should stand out from the rest.

Those wheels look good. And they'll look good on the car as well after it's dropped - as is..

I plan on buying coilovers as soon as I get the money, and also plan to roll if I do decide to keep these.

dorby- I am pretty sure these are Work Carving Stark III's? I know they are Carving Stark III's but not 100% positive Work made them.

Here is a pic of the front wheel specs along with the date these were made. 1994 and never used!!!!

Trust me on this, DO NOT PAINT THE CENTERS BLACK. I recently sold a set of HRE wheels with a similar design. At one point they were black and it didn't look that good. Those wheels look great as is. Go with what you have.

haha your wheels in black are probably one of my favorites, I do think that my centers may be too small to pull the black off though.

Here is a pic of my wheels on my previous car:
