New wheels on the 08

I spent four months looking for the perfect wheels. I found them: RC-T4 18x8. Function and form. 5 lbs lighter and an inch wider. Falken Azeni tires 225/40R/18.

Here are a few pics taken by another 08 owner while we were at an autocross today (mine is the grey one obviously ) I also have Injen CAI, Greddy Ti-C exhaust and WORKs springs:











Info about the autocross we did is here:

Nice Wheels. I didnt know Greddy made the Ti-C exhaust for our cars. Is that just the muffler, axle back, or whole cat-back system? How does it sound?

I like the wheel design just not a fan of the white on a light gray car. Just my opinion... if you like 'em... Rock On! Looks like you had fun that day too!

Hey guys thanks for the answers

About the Greddy: Its an axel back. Sounds great. Here are my videos of it:

The wheels: yeah I need better pics and I will be taking some later this week. I need to wash it first, the wheels are already turning grey from all the brake dust

As for the Azenis: They are great! I find it impossible to spin the front tires now when I launch and the grip in turns is 100 times better than the stock Dunlops...but then anything is better than those tires
