thanks arawok!!

appreciate the assistance with posting pics!

what do you think? i'm pretty happy with the results - the guy did a great job, huh?. the rims look like thay came that way from the factory.

first of all excuse the dirt - the car was put away clean for the winter but i drove it down to the shop to have the rims mounted a few weeks back.
- man, i gotta clean it! it really looks terrible in the photos.

also note the rusted brake rotors - i'm gonna put new slotted/drilled rotors (and new pads) in the spring.

thinking i will do the brakes first then maybe lower it no more than .7" (H&R sport springs) later on.... i agree, it would look better slightly lower - just not too sure if the rears will rub if i lower it (as discussed earlier in this thread).

thanks again bro,

david

No prob. Looks great! Looks like the BBS RGR but in a 17" version. Post more pix when you drop it.

hi arawok,

will probably need your assistance on posting when that time comes!

the rims actually look more like the rs-gt then the rgr. the rs-gt has the black chrome rivets like mine. i liked the rs-gt the best but they don't make the correct sizes for our car - this turned out to be a lucky solution for me (the look i wanted at a much lower price).

thanks again bro

They do look good on the car and you can't beat the price. I normally go with the 2004 tire set up and they fit fine. They do not come in the 18" fitment though.
If I can help let me know.

I am considering this wheel. Does anyone have some photos from the rear (I will go with 245's on the rear) of the car dead straight and down the side. I would like to see how far the rears stick out.

Thanks.

Can anyone with this rim set up take a photo from the rear. I am very interested in these rims, but the +45 offset in the rear bothers me.
