Not sure what wheels he has. He did not sell his car to my knowledge. These came off another Evo.

This is just what I believe the two valve stems are for. The purpose would be so that your tire pressures dont change I think.

Should be taking more pics today. The Front lip is actually part of the entire front bumper which is the APR GT Front bumper.

There were no mods to the fenders and yes they are 285's. I am no tire expert so your last question is better left to someone who knows a lot about wheels and tires.

Nitrogen doesnt have a drastic PSI change in relevance to Temperature like compressed air does. You can put nitrogen into any tire. 2 valve stems or not.

Thanks for the clarification. So why 2 valve stems? My thought was so you can purge the Oxygen out of the tire while pushing in the Nitrogen?

its so you can run a tire pressure monitor on them like mercedes have and see if tire pressure is low inside your car

nitrogen doesn't contain moisture, and has larger molecules so it stays in your tire longer, so you have improved tire life

Looks good Ryan! But the Works were hot as well.

What happened to your other wing?

So what coilovers did you get?

I waited 8 months to get these wheels in from Japan before they were released to the US. I finally got them, and didn't like the way the apex silver looked with this wheel. I sold them to fellow member "erratic evo" for his GG IX. Wheels are gorgeous in person. And look killer on his GG.

dual valve stems = tire guage on one one, fill/release on the other for faster accurate readings (track/pit situations)
