Talking New pics of 20 Penta with Eibach drop......56K no way

So after years of holding off I finally decided to mod the car. I told myself when I bought the car not to mod it (I thought I was done after my previous 2 cars) but it's in your blood, plus the G screams for more attention then already gets.

So after searching the forums for months and months I finally decided to get an exhaust. I went with the Fast Intentions with high flow cats (WOW!), next thing I had to get was some wheels. Our cars can fit some beautiful wheels with so much room. I had do it, get a nice fat lip!!

Initially I wanted the Work and I searched the marketplace but could not fine one or one that was local (damn you cali). Brand new was a little to steep for my blood so I looked at other alternatives. Thanks to the forums and Charles at RX motorsport it lead me to the Axis Penta, although not Work but it does the job. Anyways enough ramblings here are some pics for now, ill try to get better pics later:



Where Batman Begins was filmed and Wanted






Thanks for looking.

Added more Pics (8-5-08)

I also bought mine from Charles at RX Performance back in April. He actually was the one that installed them on my car. Now that I see your G, I'm thinking of lowering mine too. I just don't want to have to do the camber upgrades. I may just leave it alone.

1) Did you have to add a camber kit when you lowered it?
2) How do like the tire noise? They seem louder than my stock 17's.

My Pentas are wrapped in Nittos. Did you get the same?

Thanks,
Kevan
Thanks

1) I have not got the camber kit yet but will be getting one soon. Living in Chicago I can only drive the car until October, so i will taking the wheels off or buying a beater car. I want to get the camber kit soon but so far its ok.
2) So far there is no tire noise, I'm quite impressed. At first Charles was going to send me the Falkens and then I got the Nitto's. They are nice but I still think my Michelin PS2 were sticker but those cost an arm and a leg.

The rear lip is I believe 4 and the front is 2.5 or 3. I'm not to sure but they are definitely deep!
