If I end up getting the car, I'm pulling the wheels off and getting them coated a nickel-ish color. Anyone know if nickel plating is expensive?
 
Will have to be a different offset. Stop wanting to JDM out a Euro car, srsly.
What?

TR Motorsports is Tire Rack's in-house brand. Also, because you can't search for wheels by offset on Tire Rack, people buy E30-fitment C1s (15x8 +20) for Miatas because they're lower offset and fit nicer, as opposed to C1Ms (15x7 +30), which are supposed to be for Miatas specifically.

EDIT: They offer the E30 fitment for Miatas now, but they didn't used to when the wheels first came out. Probably because nobody bought C1Ms!

1 of our TL guys made it into Honda Tuning this month. Guy has been through a lot over the years (should be in the article), so it's nice to see him get this.

I've seen that car and talked to the guy at Import Alliance back in '09. My buddy was busy talking his magic to get our group inside the track and we spied this guy and his brother with his S2000 sitting outside. Weird that a bunch of kids with ratty cars got in but these two widely known fellows didn't until the next day. Of course, their cars were featured front and center lol.

I am a huge fan of the NA, but seeing one that really presses the right button for me is few and far between.
The ones above are nice, but just a bit too low and fat for my taste...
 
It's fairly rare I see a Z32 that appeals to me. This one's pretty much the best one I've seen.

And on the 1-to-10 scale of epicness, that M3 is an 11.5

Wow, that M3 is pretty serious. And the GT-R is pretty enormous.

We all know R34 GT-Rs are pretty big cars. But seriously?...

The R32, R33 and R34 are within inches of each other, and then BAM.
 
I seem to remember a picture from long ago in the Spots thread of a Phantom parked in a row of normal cars, one of which was some sort of small SUV. It was as tall as the SUV.
 
I'll add to the BMW content. Searching through the web for photos to use on the website for the company I work for now, and came across these:
