Yeh, I have never really liked the splitters. Something about them isn't quite right!

Yep, 261 look awesome and painted black also look great. So many bad fitting wheels for the 135 and now the op is lowered VMR etc etc wont work with out a fender roll - no way I am rolling the fenders to fit a 255 when they fit fine on 261's.... Apex ARC-8's and Forgestars F14 are the only wheel I would upgrade too as they are lighter and fit correctly - can fit 275's on the back with the Apex's.

Nice. BSM cars always look awesome after a wash. Then it just takes a bit of light rain and dust to make it spotty again

Agree with some of the guys here, lose the splitters, looks overemphasised, kinda buck-toothed looking. Get a Kerscher lip instead, they look hot as.

Agreed! They do look a bit much. I have never been able to work out why they look out of place. In person they don't look as bad, but they will still be going (in the bin) Thanks for the comments!

Don't sweat it, most of the time it's either trial and error or learning from other people's mods. Might just be as simple as those flippers look better on a white car?

Haha yeh I think it looks a bit better on black. I wish I had seen that photo before I bought them from Matty.

Mr blonde you are right about trial and error , I now know why they were so cheap!
