I feel like there have been forces at work preventing me from getting a day to clean the car and take nice photos. Somewhere in October I made a mad dash scramble to get new wheels and tires on the car. I told the guys at WheelDude.com that I would post some pictures up of them mounted. That was over a month ago.

Now it is November in NY, which means we have 5 minutes of daylight, hints of snow every morning, and I have admitted defeat at having the photos I really wanted to post. Here is a lame picture of the wheels on the car, which do not do them justice. I will find a break in the weather to take some more worthy photos in here.

The graphite color almost looks as if it was the identical paint on the car. I have nice picture of the color in the sun which was hard to see elsewhere.
Huge thanks to WheelDude for putting the order together so quick. I was out of town for some unpleasant reasons, made the call and they had everything to my door before I got home. It was a huge relief to have in place before our October track event.

Drop is coming. The car is so amazing around a track even with the pitch and roll of a full suspension. It was the first car I drove on the track which I thought the suspension wasn't the first thing that needed attention.

Wow I love the concave face on those wheels!

Well it looks like I will be putting the wheels to the ultimate test next year. After two years of running a Galant VR4, we are going to use this Evo X to run in One Lap of America next year. If they survive that trip, then they definitely get a seal of approval. -stephen

Any issues with fitment so far? I know its stock height but...

nrvous

Sorry for the lapse. I thought I set this thread up with a notification, but I must have missed it.

The tires brush the insides of the plastic fenders when cranked all of the way to the left or the right respectively. It has not caused a problem and is only noticed when you are in a parking lot actually turning the wheel that far.

At stock height, the rear fenders need to be rolled on the inside lip. It doesn't touch with normal driving, but when I loaded up the gear for the track the rear would brush a little when the car dipped too much. I did a half hearted attempt to roll them at the track and it solved the problem.

Brought the car out of hibernation today, so took a chance while it was warming up to take a picture.

did you do any drifting in the snow

nrvous

I have this small incline in the driveway and the car barely made it up there. It turns out the Direzza Star Specs aren't meant for the snow. There was probably disclaimer on that somewhere.
