XXR 527 @ WW Evo X
Slight stretch - I really want to run my 255s but I'm worried about rubbing. So until then they're sitting in the garage on my stock wheels. This was meant to be a budget summer wheel. I'm kinda torn because I really liked my stockers. I think I will have my stockers painted black and throw them on in the fall.

Tires: Falken 452 - 245/18/40
Wheels: 18x9.75 +20 Offset
Drop: Tein S-tech (R: 1' F: 1.4')

Any who just thought I'd share for anyone thinking of getting these. Can't wait for some ROTAS next or RPF1's

They actually look pretty good, and they're inexpensive. Nice, dude.

Thanks fellas. I think it's the tire size thats making me question the look of these wheels; however, they're super slowly growing on me. You're right a nice inexpensive wheel so that's why I'm not to mad about not liking em as much as I hoped I would.

Nice on the chrome black coming in I'm thinking of a flat black or gloss black for my next wheel.

Go 9.75 and do staggered tire setup

255 will really clean up the lip
