I can't help it.. I really can't stand those alloys. 
It brings something out of me, a primal rage, something chemical.

19's...... mmmmmm.....
Just managed to get mine on the car after they've being stuck in the garage for four days!!
Anyway, Im well pleased, Is it me or do they attract more attention? Just popped down the road and seemed like everyone was 'double taking' the car!
Definately needs lowering now... 30mm....
Big thanks to Tom @ TGM MotorSport for all his help with the rims.
ps - roof up because it started to drizzle...

Thanks for the advice Mikey, I'll see how I get on with the rims before deciding whether to lower her or not. Just need a bit of dry weather to give her a good stretch... 
I have lowered mine by 30 mm and with the 18s I sometimes here a scrap from the passenger rear wheel.
I have also found this sound is only heard when the missus is in the car!!!

I got stuck on these wheels at SM3, where there was quite a selection of 18" wheels, including the Volks, which did nothing for me personally, and still don't.
I then did quite a bit of driving behind rralston, and thought his Evo's looked fantastic both on the move and standing still. Lot of people obviously share this opinion, and lots feel like you.
As for the dreaded extra pounds, I carried a lot less ICE around in my car than many people, so that probably made up the deficit. Guess you could always run around on an emptier tank as well

Yep, still well up for Sunday! Have to check out your springs, It would be the finishing touch to have the wheels tightly nested in the arches. Just hope the weathers dry for the Japanese Show...
