I think that i'll be going for the brakes just because of this.

My thought is if you had some ballin wheels I most likely would be looking at them, not your new ding.

Think about it.......

Assuming I had Rays 19s, I'd consider getting brakes before wheels if both opportunities arose. If I was rolling on OEM 17/18, then those would have to go first.

Wheels look 10x better with a big BBK behind them so why not get them first. It's kind of like how people say drop your car before putting wheels on.

BTW, if you're going with TE37s... MAG BLUE looks incredible with PG.

Just saying...

Well looks like some douche co-worker dinged my car pretty good today (some paint missing) . I hate stuff like this-totally takes away from the aesthetics of the car. Paintless dent removal will not be done because the paint is chipped.
Sucks! I only had the car for 2 months and Boom.

Are you positive that the Akebonos will fit? If yes, will they fit without any spcers or other add ons?

if you are asking whether they fit a Gx sedan at all, the answer is yes, they do. There are plenty of people who have done the upgrade.

As far as wheels go, you MUST have 18" Sport 2009 G wheels, NOT '08
