Default New Wheels & Tail lights

Gives it an updated look I think.

I got the wheels from http://stores.ebay.com/wheelblowouts

OEM Porsche, 20 Inch, 60MM offset, new powder coating, center caps & shipping included $1500

I looked at a lot of replicas and other stuff, some cheaper some not.
After reading about all the specs and certifications, I just couldn't convince myself that Chinese wheels for $800 or less are what I want to ride on, especially on the local Detroit highways where speeds are 85+ and pot holes would swallow a Chevy Volt whole.

Wheels excellent choice! Good compliment to the trim.

Tail lights? Maybe a bit bright? Wondering why you didn't go with the smoked look lenses?

Nice wheels (Have them as well) but the lights may belong on a Honda. Not trying to be harsh, sorry. Just one persons opinion.

Yeah, I suppose they do look a little bright.
The smoked lenses seem to give it more of the Escalade look I was trying to avoid.

Can you tell me how your lights operate?

Which light is the running light, then the turn signal, backup and brakes for both day and night mode? Fog light there too?

Thanks!

Love the wheels! Painted Sport Technos look awesome!

The lights aren't really my style, but if you like them, that's what's important.

After checking that they work, I never bothered to note how they function. I guess they work like the OEM ones.
There's no day or night mode , running, or fog lights.

Thanks, you just saved me some cash, was not gonna get those, but ones that use the same molds.

I think I am going to use the money towards 08+ oem lights and bumper instead.

I will have a really hacked car, 05 S with a OEM Pre 08Turbo Front end and a GTS rear or something Begs the question if I should do the rear spoiler too.

Nice rims. Not feeling the tails, to me these style of lights just cheapen the ride. I'd smoke em if I had em as some other members suggested. But hey, if you love the look who cares, it's still a sweet ride.
