The rim fairy paid me a visit today
I didn't see her but she left four great big boxes in my carport this morning. No pics yet as the tire fairy has yet to arrive, hopefully by the end of the week she will make her presence known.
I was given a set of XXR 962's in gunmetal, 18x8.5 +35 w/2" lip, 19x9.5 +35 w/3.25" lip. I can hardly wait to get these rascals on, I've been waiting a while for them.

I'm not looking for a super flush fit anyway. With the tires I'm planning on I'll need a little room. I've got 245/35/18 fronts and 285/40/19 rears coming, I'm trying to emphasize the rear wheel drivyness of the car by having the taller rims and tires in the rear but I'm pushing the limits of what will fit. I'm rolling the fenders flat in the rear and might need a slight pull also, it just depends on how everything bolts up.
I really like these too, I had always wanted mesh style wheels but after looking at tons of them I never found something I liked in an offset I could use. These look awesome though and didn't break the bank.

Plenty of pics will be coming, three of my tires will be here tomorrow (apparently the tire fairy has a weight limit). Right now I'm on Tanabes, once I get everything mounted up I'm going to try to close the gap in the front. If I cut one coil off the top of the front springs I'll get about another 3/4" drop and that should close the gap nicely. The 245/35/18s are the same height as the stock tires, I just want to be sure that the extra width won't rub before I come down any more.
