Cool Fujimi Integra Type R will be next on the list to build.

Here's the next project that arrived today from HLJ

As you can see from the rims they dont look the best with the tyres. I may change to the VOLK ones that i got sent or just change the tyres to a lower profile and use the original rims....but i kinda like the 18" rims better as they will fill the guards up better and may get a lowering job with it!!! What do you guys think?

At this stage i kinda like the car in white with white rims.

I would use the 18's just make the tires more low profile, then it would look great.

I agree with MX100, it would look very nice white with dark rims, but i wouldn't paint them black, i'd paint them gunmetal

if you ask me, I say go with the stock rims, or if you want the TE-37s.. get the 17" ones... I really think the more proportional look is much more realistic then the over size wheels. (as you may see my taste in the models that i've built and shown so far)

Just take your (real) car for a drift session to bring yourself back to reality although I must say I like the look of a nice DC5...ran across some ideas here:

http://www.ings-net.com/parts_dc5.html

(while looking at S14 aero parts)

Of course I'd still do a strawberry face silvia or s15 with s13 frontend first without a doubt... *hint* *hint*

In terms of that DC5 you're working on Primera man I vote TE-37 in gunmetal with the white body...I've always liked them on the DC2 as well

I was actually planning on making that DC5 body kit when I saw it in an OPTION magazine tonight, but then I figure, I don't need another 1/2 done nice body kit and primed model shell sitting on toliet paper rolls

so i scrapped the idea.... :smilie:
