It does, really sets it off.  
I’ll probably hit you up to mount tires to the wheels in the spring.

Hopefully it will look really sweet haha.

Just got off the phone and went with the 17X10 in a +45 with a bronze finish. Should be about a 3+ month wait as expected.

Correct.  
Some guys will run a 17X10 +50 in the front and a 17X10 +45 in the rear. The +50 has more of a flat face that isn’t as concave but the lip size is the same - reason for doing this is its easier to fit a big brake caliper up front in a non concave face. For what I will use the car for the stock brakes will work fine, I don’t plan on tracking it. I’m one of those guys that would buy a C6 Z06 just because they look cooler than a base C6 :rofl

I wanted concave at all 4 corners and the option to flip/rotate wheels and tires around. I’ve always liked staggered but the concave did it for me haha.

Rotas did do a fine job for winter wheels.

So a small update; Im still waiting on my wheels, its been 5.5 months right now, should be another month and I will have them.

Over the winter I ordered Fortune Auto 500 coilovers with Swift springs (10K front/9K rear). For what I will use the car for these will be more than overkill.

I also picked up a set of aluminum hub centric rings because I cant stand the plastic pieces of shit:

I also ordered Project Kics Neo-Chrome R40 lugs at the same time I ordered the coilovers, after waiting close to 3 months for the lugs I finally got them a few weeks ago. Also in the picture below is a Fortune Auto titanium shift knob, I have since polished and reburned the knob a darker purple color because I didnt like the easter egg color it came in.

I’m not a convertible person and rarely do I drive with the top down, ever since I wanted an S2000 new from the dealership Ive wanted one with a hardtop. In recent years Honda discontinued the OEM hardtop and they have become an absolute nightmare to find before someone else buys it. A month ago I messaged the owner of this hardtop and asked him if he wanted to sell it, which he didnt. Last week he announced he was selling his car so I made him an offer on the hardtop before it was even put up for sale and yesterday I was on my way to Atlantic City with BigRed to pick it up. The top is less than a year old and he was the original owner when he bought it from [hardtopguy.com](http://hardtopguy.com). The top was just sprayed Silverstone Metallic tonight and I plan on picking it up tomorrow night.

Of course we cant seem to escape the other hardtop…
