Nice, i just purchased the same wheels and i'm in the same boat about removing my black side moldings that I personally can't stand. What tires did you end up going with?

Looking good. I like the looks of the BSMs, but it's your car - take them off if you want.

Looking good, I got the same rims but with the machined lip. I agree with the tinted plate cover, too. Did you nightshade your tail lights and side markers? If so they turned out good. I'll def. have to do that to mine.
lower it and it will look even meaner!
