Default My new wheels

Just got these fitted a couple of days ago, pics are not that good as it was getting dark. Before someone says it, it will be lowered as soon as the boat from Japan arrives, also got a set of Supra TT brakes on the way.

Wheels look good, are your wheels high disk setup? Just asking to make sure they clear Supra brakes.

That I dont know, I wanted to get some wheels I liked before getting the brakes so my choice wasn't restricted. If not then I have someone who will buy them off me and I'll just get the Soarer twin turbo brakes which are better then the V8's but not as big as Supra's. They are a 40 offset so I think its 70% chance they won't.

Cheers guys, They are 18x8 with 235 front and 255 rear. I would have got bigger rears but I had the tyres which were only 1 month old so didnt relly want to spend the extra cash on two new tyres. Cant wait to get it dropped, boat left Japan begining of this week and is going to take 4 weeks to get here.

Looks great man. These were actually on my list to buy before deciding on the Kaotiks. I love that 5 spoke "ceiling fan" look on the SC, very clean!

Now got the suspension sorted, nearly. Its lower but no harder then standard, which means I get serious rubbing when cornering. so I'm going to have to get some different springs to stiffen it up a bit I think.
