Got these last week and finally got the car lowered a bit, I'll want to go a bit lower once I get coilovers, but for now I think it looks great. The gunmetal is perfect for NFR too.

The NFR looks great man, but get an OEM lip ASAP!

Thanks! Front lip won't happen though, I'm probably one of the very few that doesn't like the front lip and I honestly don't like any of them be it AP2, CR , Mugen etc. After coilovers I'll be picking up an ASM rear bumper for sure and then I'm still 50/50 if I want to do the front bumper as well or leave it stock.

I've got a chance to pick up a set of 17x7.5/8.5 +40 TE's for ~$1,600, they're in pretty good shape but they're flat black and I'd want to refinish them in another color. It seems like a pretty good deal though, what do you guys think?

Also would doing a 255 in the rear be too much for the 8.5?

That's exactly what I've got, they came with a 255 on the rear but I'm going to go back to a 245 to make it fit a but better. I rolled my fenders and relocated the bumper tabs.

I paid $1700 shipped and PayPald for my set with good condition Hankook V12s.

When you say fit better, do you mean the tire on the wheel or clearance with your fenders? I'm running a 245/40 on a 9+45 right now and have plenty of room left so I'd like to go with a 255 but not sure if it's too wide for the 8.5

edit: just noticed the flat center caps aren't included and are $50 each from Rays, good grief!
