That's one sweet ride. Looks like you're running a Halltech Trap, and some iforged wheels. Very

I'm not a fan of black wheels for me, but at least you've got the right ones with a polished lip! Your car look's very sharp, and sano with the black/black!

Only thing I'd do is remove the BSM's, and go a little lower.

What size are the w&t?

Yeah, the front plate is made by halltech. It's not carbon fiber though. The rims are 19x9.5 and 20x11 Iforged Daytonas. I got them standard black as opposed to hyper black. Standard black is glossy and hyper black is a flat finish. Rims alone ran me about $3700 but well worth it in my opinion....
