Default NEW wheels!!!

They should be here Wednesday.

Work Emitz

18X10 +26
18X9 +26

Going to be running 225/40/18's up front and 235/40's in the rear. Slammed on some Tein flex coilovers. I'm going to relocate my harness this weekend, maybe a slight roll if needed.

Yeah, I love the stretched look. Still thinking about running a 245 though, I don't want to mess my wheels up quite so soon.

I just googled the wheels. Looks pretty nice. I'm kind of interested to see what they look like on an SC. They'll probably look pretty classy.

I'm praying they are going to look good. I haven't seen too many people with them.

They almost looked like the Veil Side wheels, at first. Don't worry, they'll look nice with the SC body. The lip/deep dish is very nice and big on thes wheels. Random pic I found of something close to the SC:

Yeah, me three. For me, mesh would be my first choice: Work VS-XX or anything similar in design. One thing I don't particularly like is that they look a little like wire wheels, only at first, until you realize they're not and just regular spokes (which is a good thing). They even have a similar circular, cover-looking piece behind the center of the wheel/spokes like wire wheels do, I think. But it's a very good thing that they're not wire wheels because wire wheels look so ghetto.

New wheels are always nice.

Offsets and tires sizes are too aggressive for me ... but I'm kinda old a boring .

Post up pics when you get them on the car.
