I reused the tires off my other wheels, so as pictured it is:
18x10 +43 245/40/18
18x11 +43 275/35/18

The wheels are sized to fit 265/35/18 and 295/35/18 tires.

Did you find the video on you tube that I sent you regarding the headlight modifications. I have just bought a pair of headlights so that I can make the modifications and not be rushed. Let me know, and good luck.

I got absolutely SMOKED by a new Mach-e GT in the rain the other day... We took off from a roll and while I spun in 2nd in the rain the AWD and traction control system on the Mach-e had a huge advantage and made me feel absolutely silly while it left me in a trail of mist. I then proceeded to wash mine and throw some tire shine on. Life is good lol.

The Meisters look amazing. I thought you had bought some a few years ago but got rid of them. I’m glad you kept them.

How do you like them compared to your HRE’s and CCW’s? All three wheels look good. It would be hard to choose a set.

I bought a set in burning black finish, but they were the wrong sizes. I ended up selling them and ordering matte gun metal replacements.


In terms of quality and design, I like all 3 of them (that's why I bought them.) Relative to my car and how it currently is setup:

HRE will always be my favorite. They're the lightest of the 3 and they look awesome when they're clean and shiny.

Meister belongs on a slammed car with an aggressive fitment. It's a wheel I wish I had when my car was on air suspension.

CCW is probably my least favorite of the 3 on my car. It's a great wheel and a great design, but every time I looked at my car I kept thinking the hre looks better.

Oh! I didn't realize you got another set after they messed up the sizes. The HRE's are stunning on your car. The CCW's give your car a really powerful look, mostly because it reminds me of all the high power SC's/Supras running them. You have an awesome wheel collection.

The Meisters look nice even if you're not slammed, although they seem to mostly be on slammed cars. I guess I like that look on SC's because I ran SSR Professor SP!'s for 4 years and later got Rotiform with a similar style. How do you like the matte gunmetal versus Burning Black? I was going to get a set but never seen Burning Blackr in person before

I like the matte gun metal, but I don't love them. I've never been a huge fan of dark wheels, but I wanted to try something other than my usual polished/brushed/silver finishes.

Burning black is a color that varies every time it's done (I assume this is why it got discontinued). The set that I got was brighter than I thought they were going to be.

Finally got around to repairing my washer fluid lines and installing some new jets in the hood. I used some universal ones off of Amazon and I'm not thrilled. Anyone have a better recommendation for washer nozzle replacements that have a 90 on them like our stock ones do?

I also installed some LED Amber fog light bulbs. Super bright, look great, but I'm not sold on the color... I'll post them and see what you guys think.

Installed my amber LED fogs to go with my LED headlight bulbs. Not sure if I'm sold on the amber with the red paint... However, it's definitely a look lol..

Hard to tell from pictures but it seems pretty cool to me? If you wanna tone down the color, maybe you can tint the glass or something?

You know Nick they're really growing on me. The contrast on the red is a little harsh during the day, but at night they look pretty wicked haha.

It is a nice, different look for your car. I really like your usual style a lot and is the style I went for with my LS. The polished/silver/brushed faces goes so nicely on a white car.

That’s very interesting. I didn’t know Burning Black was discontinued. I wonder if SSR’s SBC/Super Black Coat is the same way as they’re similar. I never ended up getting another set of SSR’s ordered to find out how it looked in person.
