well it seems the did a good job... even though i took the wheels and tires to them at 1:30 and promised to be done in a "couple of hours". guy finally calls at 10:30 the next day in the morning to say they were done and i finally got them right after work. total was 89 bucks mounting balancing and replacing the valve stems.i put the finishing touches with the centercaps and voila!. i sent raul the pictures and hope he will post them tomorrow morning or tonight if hes still awake.
well i just got the pictures back because it would not send to raul because of the size.. sooooo today i have become a member so i can post pics and help educate this community on what the car can do or look with certain mods.... maybe ill do a DIY thread here someday....
oh well here are the pics
Here are the wheels nicely packaged from being powdercoated
Here is the company and i highly recommend them. i paid 200 dollars for the whole process. im hoping diego will post a before pic of them because they look totally different from what they were.

Kuhmo ecsta mx same size as the oem 04s 245 rear and 215 fronts

here are better pics i took on sat.
My friend's STI fast car with no class
Thoughts: Pros- I love the black on black theme. Tires have more grip on dry roads.(very few last night) The wheels look great in black period.
Cons-The tires are grey and kinda throws off the theme.(need to tire shine them) the badges stick out too much.(im gonna sell the badges and get black background with silver s). car is a lil less responsive but no biggie(probably due to bigger tires)
It just needs to be lowered and ill do that after my power mods coming up next month.
thanks for looking!
that will be a while since im about to purchase camshafts and a used comptech supercharger.. i changed my mind again SORRY DIEGO!
after that ill probably get the bilstein pss9 coilover systems. and then after im done with the S. no more mods
