I like the wheels. Nice very nice where you get those from??

 

wheels look painted but look great on the car

 

Nice!

If you don't mind my asking, how much did everything set you back?

How does it handle? Wider tires and better rubber should make a pretty big difference. I haven't decided what I'm going to go with yet. I plan to get full use out of the sock set up before I make the leap. Yeah, I'm cheap.

BTW, I noticed you don't have the front plate. Any trouble from the local cops or MP's? I want to take mine off, but I don't want to deal with the hassle.

 

so far I haven't been pulled over for it yet...
how much it set me back?
well each rim was 630 plus some cheapo nitto tires about 130 a piece
Grand total 3k...but I got em for 1k brandnew!
painted? no they came like that!

 

gottem from a guy who bought the wrong Bolt pattern for his 04 sti so they've been collecting dust. His lost my gain!

 

any problem with the 18x9

 

18x9 is perfect! no rubbing issues...
as far as the performance wise I haven't noticed since i've only driven 20 miles with them on on the freeway

 

sweet lets see some day time pics too

 

 

Nice Man! Once you drop it it will look fantastic...

 

Nice.... that really cutting close in the front with the 18x9 at 45.. it pushed out about 1 inch... which looks great with stock height but when lower you should be ware of the REAR fender lip cutting the tire when hitting bump, dips, and corners.... then again this is all from calculations and plus your are so far the only one on 18x9 +45 with a RA... let us know how it goes!!!

I am getting 20's for my ride just wondering what you all think about that. I am debating still but there the Giovanna Essin's.

 

well if ur into the gansta ride....then I'd get dem 22s, but if you're into performance WIDeR and smaller the better!

 

You see i am not into the gangster ride. I was trying to do something like the G35 owners you know. A nice lip on nice rim.
