Just a quick update, I wanted to refinish the Precedeos so I picked myself up a set of beater wheels.
I'm not sure if I like how they look but I can safely say the car is a million times more fun to drive.

Thanks again for these pics Adam.
Anyway, this set of Regamaster Marquis Promada is the pearl white variety in 17x8 +45 & 17x9 +45. I also got extremely lucky and found another pair of these exact wheels in 17x9 +45 in pearl white with matching center caps for a steal so I picked them up in case I wanted to run a non-staggered set up.
The car is still set up with the ride height and alignment from the previous wheels and that all needs to be sorted out for this set up. The car is going to come up a bit and get a much more drivable alignment.
I would also like to thank everyone for all of the positive compliments. It's awesome to receive so much positive feedback from something you really love and I'm incredibly proud of how the car is coming together.

I agree and that's why I was after a set for such a very long time. They pull everything together visibly and make such a huge difference.
I am however not sure if I like these headlights with the new wheels. I think a regular set of the JDM's would be more appropriate as I feel these are a little to "blingy" with the chrome projectors. I'm debating between finding a set of regular JDM headlights or just putting in my OEM pair and swapping my tail lights for a set of 00-01 AP1's to lose the chrome rings in the tails.

Looking good!
