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

@ around 15-18ft zoomed to 70mm

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
