Got new wheels (Work Carving Starks)
So after going back and forth for quite a while in my head, I finally decided to get some wheels since I needed to buy new summer tires anyway. Why not get some wheels while I was at it?
These are Carving Stark IIIs by Work. Got them brand new from a member here. I heard they were last made in 1994 or something. Anyway, they arrived today.
Front: 17x8 +43
Rear:17x9 +47
Going to try to put existing Falken Azenis RT615 215/45s on the front and purchase new 245/40s for the rear. This is the first time in my life attempting something that's somewhat aggressive. What are your thoughts? Will I have to do any crazy fender work? I was told maybe and run some negative camber. I'm already at -2.5 with OEM AP2v2 lowered on Espelir ASDs. Not sure what else I will have to do with these.
Here are some pics I took a few moments ago.
Packaged really nicely.
This is the rear wheel.
Test fitting.
So what do you think? Doable?

I'm still scared. I'm entertaining a trade for some Advan Racing Version 2 wheels that don't require any modifications. But with shipping and whatnot (to/from Hawaii), it might be worth the effort/time/money.
If I need fender rolling, you guys know who can do it for me? For a reasonable price?
Thanks!!

Yeah, I'm pretty scared. I'm going to buy the tires and see what happens. If I need rolling, howmuch does it usually cost? Like $100? Or like $1000? If it's the latter, I'm getting rid of these things haha.
for being different!! i like!!
