the new volk te57s are. bright colored (pink, green and so on) are a jdm trend. yes there are jdm wheels (wanatabes,speed star, and like you said mugen) that arent bright colored and are still very jdm but since i havent seen any styled like that for xmods the next best thing is to go with the bright colors to give it a jdm look. i got the idea from the cover car on super street mag

Wow! thx for the compliment. i know the paint is thick but these are just my test wheels (i wanted to see what exactly it would look like). im going to do a much better job on the GPMs when they get here

nice job on your project...i like the paint scheme and your rear spoiler works well with the car...personally i liked when the wheels were color matched...but i am not a fan of the neon colors...thats just me...best of luck with the rest of this...

thx man. what kinda of ideas for spoilers were you lookin for? what kind of body are you wanting to add it to. there are a lot of different styles out there. i like to keep it clean functional and simple that flows with the body. it you are wondering how i did my spoiler (whale tail) it was actually pretty simple. i used the plastic that comes with the kit that holds everything (the clear pieces inside the box) cut it to the shape that i'm to get and to make the curves. i then used a drop of super glue to hold it centered and using a lighter (about 2-3 inches over the flame) heated up the plastic just enough to make it bend (too close will make it ignite or bubble. you just want to heat it up). then quickly shape it to your liking (i used the curved side of the lighter to do it). hold it in place until its cooled off and it will stay like that. do one section at a time (sides, front and rear) so you dont over heat the plastic). once thats done pop it of sand and wipe clean the area to be glued and super glue the spoiler in place. hope this helps some

the gpm wheels you have orderd are a good choice the bit of weight they have realy helps keeping the car planted on a track , my only other choice would be scion B/K rims as they give a wider rear track
as for a motor id say a tamiya mini torque tunned in a bb can iso mags and silver or carbon brushes 18swg multi strand silicone wire car looks great man very nice job
