Default Pic request: AP2 w/ SW388's or Slipstreams

Yes I'm one of those repulsive human beings that wouldn't mind saving $1,000 or more and getting a set of slipstreams instead of the real thing I'm aware there is definitely a difference between these two wheels, but they do look similar.

Only reason I'm not sure if it would look good is because I'm so used to seeing AP2's with a 17" wheel. So if you have a similar setup, post some pics for me please.

Thanks

any chance you have a direct down the side shot to show the real fitment. Also what tires/sizing are you using?

These wheels rock. super lightweight and look so good!

I just havent seen a good down the line pic as I am a little picky with the front to back fitment. Cant have fronts more flush then rears. But by the sizing I think they should be pretty even and good

^tires are potenza RE01-R sized in 205/55/16 and 225/50/15
same setup as mine....




the offsets are +35 front and +45 rear, so they are both pushed out 20mm....depending on your drop fender work is required especially for the front

I'm sure they are...if I found a set of SW388's I would buy them but they're so expensive and hard to find.
