New wheels & tires

Thought I'd share a few pics of my new wheels. I had xxr 521's before. Couldn't take the rubbing and "stanced" look anymore. The car sat nice but I hated the drivability. The new wheels are gramlight 57dr's. There 18x9.5 +22, tires are cooper rs3s 255/35/18. Last pic was my car with the xxr's. Lmk what you guys think.

The trunk spoiler is from rexpeed. Mirrors I believe are from bayson r, not sure because I bought them off an other member. Thanks for the compliment.

I actually bought them from a local EVO guy near me. He bought them and ended up not using them. But there made by rexpeed. Thanks for the compliment.

Youve been through the 12 steps & you are cured

Looks great & now you can drive the EVO the way it was meant to be driven
