Post new wheels

So im the fourth owner of these wheels... ever since i saw them on Sinji's old set up i always wanted them never thought id have them since they were in Cali til Alex here in Houston picked em up then Thompson and now ive got em 18X9.5 front 18X10.5 rear.. Monday im getting my fenders shaved and getting an alignment to fix my toe on the suspension so til then i cant drive the car.. its just a little preview until i get new pics with the car movable on the wheels.. Hope you guys enjoy.. and yes i know im gonna need a spacer in the front to fit them perfect

I almost bought those babies before you. I was asked if I wanted them but I decided on something a little less aggressive cuz I didnt want to ahve to shave my fenders. Props to you for doing it. Great looking wheel.

Damn those look good on berlina

one question though - if its a 9.5 inch wheel up front how come its tucked so much and requires a spacer? i would think you would need to roll the fronts but not really need a spacer to get it flush....

sweet set-up nonetheless.

well its still witha +5X offset so it still sinks in some IMO... i think a 5mm spacer will sit it flush with the fender.. since all 4 corners are getting shaved off ill be able to pull it close w.o and issue.. the rear is a +3X forgot exact offsets..
