wheels look good ,,very sporty but not overstated..

suggestion though, you can almost accomplish the staggered stance (not the look persay) with using the H&r spacers 25mm in the rear.. Hameed did it with his 17in oems and it looked great..


your car needs to fill the rear out alittle more to give it the proper stance to compliment the aggresive nature of side skirts and ltuned grill

Thanks for the suggestion...

1. Where can I get the spacers?
2. How much?
3. How easy to instal?
4. Will it hurt performance or drive feel at all, would things need to be rebalanced?

You are right, I believe that it would look a lot better.

Looks good Cinfulx Definately sportier and it all goes together nice with the aero kit and shocks.

I bet you're really dying for L-tune badges now

Let me know when you get the pics of the damages on chromes.

It looks better than what I expected...Looks good to me..I purchased those wheels/tires too but they're sitting in the garage right at this moment. They're useless in snow so I'll wait till the spring.

As for spacers, these guys used to have 25mm ones but I don't see it. Here is the 20mm ones:

You might try and contact them. Make sure you get the ones with has pre-attached bolts.

How hard are spacers to install? Anyone know where I can find a DIY? Is there any risk running with spacers... saftey... would I need to get another alignment?

and I thought I was done with Mods for a little while...

the car definitely looks a lot sportier, although the offset of the wheels are a bit disappointing. i wish they were more aggressive. but as long as you like them
