test fitted my new set of wheels. Wedsport SA15R 18 x 9.5 +38

Front 245 40 18 Michelin PS4
Rear 265 40 18 Michelin PS4S

Waiting on 5mm H&R spacers and extened studs to allow for more clearance between the back of the rim and the suspension arm.

Fitted these carbon fiber pillar covers. As much as I do like the factory piano black look, these give it a bit more character, and go with some of the other carbon effect parts I have in/on the car. Looks almost the same as factory in the shade but really pops in the sun

Thanks! It has come along quite well since we bought it completely stock in November. Not 100% keen on the wheels we have on it now though. Bought them from an Infiniti G37 (or Skyline as we call them here) and they look better off the vehicle than on it, lol. Spokes aren't wide enough in my opinion. Planning on getting some 3IS F-Sport wheels like I have on my one sometime soon, but they are very hard to get here. Possibly lower it to, which is something I said I wouldn't do on this car, but we all know how that goes . Here's a photo of all 3 together:
