Default Bored.. Rolling on 18s for right now..

Fleishelja inspired me to get these from all his pictures he posted. I like em as temporary rims right now. Enjoying the extra traction off the line from going to 18s from 19s.. Ill have to do a photoshoot with them before I pick up my next set of wheels. I know.. I know.. I changed rims 3 times in the past... 6months.. >_<

18 x 9.5 +28 all around (+5mm spacer all around)

255/35/18 275/35/18




And shes going single .. hopefully before TORC...

Yea TEs were sold in a day.. pretty crazy.. and I got pretty much full asking price as well. They went to a IS-F

I have no idea what rims I want to settle right now.. so Im just trying a bunch on.

I had BBS LM reps before just to get a feeler on how the real ones would look like. (in sig) I didnt like em for more than a week or so. Now imma try these out.. Ill find something.. My TEs with so many copys being made now a days. I lost the love of em. Ill settle for something soon I hope =(

LM reps wasnt bad and i feel ya on the replicas being made now a days. i always wonder what concave wheels would look like on our cars. something like 360forged and DEP sp-c and sp-sc series.

Not too bad, not sure what type of wheels would look good on your car though,

The LMs reps were not good on your car at all.

So you just through on the 5mm spacers w/out extended studs? I'd like to know because I would like to add 5mm spacers as well.
