Evo 9 with Volk SE37K

For the past year I had been browsing Yahoo Japan Auctions looking for a set of SE37Ks, and managed to pick up a set of 18x9.5 +12 for a very good price. I knew rear fitment with +12 offset would require some major body work, so kept browsing for another set in the same width with a less aggressive offset. 3 months after finding the first set, I found a staggered set with rear wheels in the offset I wanted. I placed a bit but lost out, regretting that I didn't place a higher bid as they were really hard to come by. Fast forward a month or so and the same set appeared as the previous buyer had backed out - I placed a higher bid this time around but ended up getting them cheaper than what they went for the first time around. Then I had 2 sets of SE37K:



The wheels were in pretty average condition and I was always keen on spraying them Volk Titanium Silver, so I borrowed a CE28N from a mate who's car you might have seen before:



I used that wheel to try and colour match. Got close enough, they're a shade darker but was happy with it:



I fitted the Ohlins R&T coilovers that had been sitting under my bed for a few months, and picked up some new tyres and finally had the wheels fitted. Not super low as it's my daily driver, might go lower in a few months time. I've been taking my time getting these on, but pretty happy with how the car looks now.

Specs:
18x9.5 +12 front
18x9.5 +28 rear
Dunlop DZ101 255/35/18
Camber: just over -2 deg front, around -1 rear
No fender mods and no rubbing

Went for a cruise with some friends to take some pics:

looks good. u cant run +12 on the rear too? the +28 on the rears made the spoke change (convex). looks kinda funny compared to the front. not as concave.

I'm going to ask Mackin to Harass Ray's to entertain making these wheels again. I'm sure they will sell easily.
