Default I got NEW SHOES on my DB8

Well sold the WORK's finally, got a great offer and couldn't refuse. I just had them redone (curbage, bent, and paint was peeling) Plus I was tired of justifying the authenticity of the JDM works, people would ask me if they were AXIS Super Mesh or R1's.....blah blah blah....

So I picked up these 2005 Mugen M5's brand new and liked them at first but got used to now and don't know if I should keep them or not, <U>your opinion? BE GENTLE!</U>

My opinion is that the Mugens look "alright" , they are <U>cleaner and simpler</U>,
The Works were definetly more eye appealing and looked so much more better, but just too too too too many copies out there, always defending them that they aren't AXIS, and a bitch to clean! LOL
So yes they looked better in my opinion but just got tired of them.....can u seriously go wrong with MUGENS though?

old rims (17x7.5F and 17x8R staggered offset for s2k work vs-xx )


New rims (2005 Mugen M5 17x7)
