Talking

I ordered mine yesterday so I will have them on thuresday. On saturday I am installing my Tanabe springs as well so I will post pics of before and after shots with/without wheels and with/without springs. The total was 1457 for everything just fyi not 1400. You still have to pay for the wheel kit and **** but o well they are going to be sweet!

Ok for those interested I got the wheels today and I was able to put them on so I have thrown a few picks below. They fit perfect and they Nito 555 tires seem to ride very well. Not as sticky so less crap picked up going down the road but they still hook up pretty good.

can you let us know if you get rubbing with that setup?
i have about the same exact rim/tire size, stock suspension, and i think i got a little rubbing on the driverside rear on a cloverleaf, and i wasnt even near the limit on grip.

Ok for everyone wondering I decided not to install the springs. The wheels fit really well but if I was to lower the back by a inch or so It looks like it would be very close to rubbing if I put the car is a bind. If I rolled the lip on the rear fenders It would be more than enough room but I don't know how to do it and I don't know anyone that does so I didn't put them on and risk messing up my alignment even if I put them on then took them off the alignment would still be messed so I just completely decided against it. Without the car being lowered once the suspension is compressed the tires camber in enough and seem to clear but not by much at all so I hate to go one more step and screw things up. The wheels are a 35mm offset and most people run a 30mm offset lowered and honstly I don't see how they do it without rubbing. I have posted them for sale so if anyone is interested please make me a offer, They are brand new and still in the box I only took them out to show off and that was it.

GTEVO, the wheels look great. You should black out the mounting screws for your canards they jump out at you in the pictures.

The wheel and tire combo weight I don't know the exact weight but I believe that they come in a little less or same weight but don't know for sure. I need to take one off and put it on the scale.
