A shot of 17x8 +35 with 235/45/17 Hankook Evos. I agree; the BBS' look a lot better.

Need to get back to NE and catch a beer with Timz, Turco, and you. Maybe this spring. Need a co-driver for an AX

Thx for the pic! I think I've decided to go 17x8.5 +30 likely on 245/40-17s.

Omg yes. Any idea when ur around?

My Evo is begging for some AX abuse, only got to two events this past season She could really use a clutch and brakes, hopefully doing that by the spring. Leaning towards ACT single plate. Unsure on brakes so far, was thinking EBC pads. No clue on rotors.

When it stops snowing there

We have to beat Turco at all costs.

I liked the ACT 6 puck sprung. Same one Turco had on his car.

For AX - Reds or Yellows work really well. I like the MAP/RP blank rotors.

We're the home of Beers of the World!

[OT]For those those don't know, it's a supermarket size store that specializes in beer and pretty much only beer. They literally have almost every beer in the world. It's amazing, and I don't even drink alcohol. Well, not usually. I make an exception to taste a really good beer.[/OT]

First pic is misleading be cause it is all black and the second pic are 18". Looks are subjective so your call on that one. The 9" is also better for autox.

+ for lower offset and wider RPF1's. The higher offset and narrower RPF1's are buttugly imo!

In which, option 1.

I thought the stock IX 2006 MR BBS wheel was 17x8 +35?
Stock tire is 215/45/17 right?
