Aprox: $1800


Not sure if you get them in the US, special import from Work Factory in Japan through a local customiser here in SA.

I'm sure if you lowered your evo and added some tire shine, they would look sooooo much nicer.

I have a set of Tein S-Techs will try and get them installed next weekend...

Ja I know it hasn't been washed in 2weeks, and been through a few puddles - so Sunday I will give it a wash and polish...

I think the back ride height looks ok, but the front could be dropped a bit.

don't use the s-techs. my buddy used them and blew his front struts. you will also rub with a 19'' wheel on s-techs.

Agreed, too big... and would look more appropriate with lowering springs. However - its all in the eye of the beholder...

Oversized, but very nice. I wish the roads in Nebraska were half as nice as ZA's.

Not feeling them at all...they look so similar to Motegi or American Racing wheels you'd see in Pepboys or NTB or something .

thanks guys

I'm gona fit the APR front spoiler - so I'm thinking maybe its best not to drop it...

Plus I think with the +30 offset it might catch at the rear.


regards
Sal

ps. oh yeah and I'm gona run 245/45/17 Semi-Slicks on my stock Rims... (after I get them painted Bronze)
