Here is the look I was after



Here's what I ended up With











I think the Decklid spoiler from the 06+M fits the Q but is about 3" shorter on the edges. And need to pickup some springs to lower the front atleast. Overall I think its allright.

Looks like you got what you were looking for, very nice. Definitely lower front and rear IMO.

I like it! The thick spokes make the whole car look substantial.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Correct, the wheels are OZ Opera II . I couldn't find a reliable person in Japan to get the WALDS but O well, its close enough.

Looks great!!! IMO, the car doesnt even need to be lowered. They fit pretty well just as it is.

Great look! I really like it. Definitely better on a F50 than the 7-spokes.

Looks really good, but it definitely needs to be lower, especially if you are emulating the look of the Wald F50, and the front fender gap on F50's is almost double the rear gap. I can get you Espelirs if you are interested. Very sharp though, I like the chrome trim on the sides too.

That is a great looking car! I think our Qs look fantasic with 5 spoke wheels and lots of "face."

I was talking to a cycling bud on the side of the road and he said---man your car looks great... it's those wheels he said. He thought it transformed the car. Last he saw it it had BBS 15" (ugggggleeeeey).

Congrats!!!!

buyer be warned: GREAT TIRES (sticky as HELL), but with a 200 treadwear I chewed through these in only about 15-20k miles.

They are fantastic tires but not for a traveling salesman like myself.

The trim came from Factory this way. I just added the wheels and tint.
