Getting My 21" 215's on tomorrow!!

Dropped my X'er off tonight. Tomorrow I'll get the Black 21" Style 215's and extended wheel arches on...Can't wait to see it all come together on my 2011 Vermillion Red 35d.

I haven't been this all excited since-well-never mind!

Next little mod will have to be some black grills - essentially eliminating the last remnant of chrome exterior.

Congrats. Those are really cool wheels.

Black grills? I just do not get the fascination with black grills. I think the chrome look so striking, and really aggressive when I see them in my rear view mirror. The black, looks like something is punched out & missing.

With the sport appearance package, the vehicle has little chrome to begin with.

For me, keeping the chrome grill with the rest of the black vehicle trim = incomplete aesthetics..

Totally agree, which is why I am hesitant to go black 215s on mine since I do not intend to strip the chrome looking trim...or replace the grill. Love the look of black on the vermillion w/sport though Thinking ferric will go best with my setup.

Well, I am just pleased as heck with these wheels and the wheel arch extend kit...The ride is damn near the same as my 19" all seasons and it's cold out here today too (39 degrees!)

Wifey loves em also...She hasn't asked how much it all cost

I need to add tint to the mod list too..

I'll post some pix soon -- I'm to tired and cold to snap some tonight.
