Wow dude! That looks good. What color are your wheels? Silver?

Don't mean to be a pain but could you take some front or rear style pics so I could see the distance between the tires and the fenders from the front (instead of up/down view, side/side).

You are at what seems to be the stock ride height, and I am lowered 2-3 inches so there is a much higher possibility of rubbing for me, lol.

Thanks again man, lookin pretty good! cool.gif

just thought id throw out there that our captive rotors can be a b**** with wheels. my 18" speedy lite 5's had eight holes so i didnt worry, got em on and by the time i got home they were shakin pretty bad. turns out no only were the holes not big enough, they werent lined up right. got em machined and they are fine, just make sure they set perfect before driving.

most people here know captives are a pain in the @$$ hence why alot of members would rather swap to noncaptives than drill into a expensive wheel...

Captive rotors are really not that big of a pain in the ass to me. Only took about an hour to swap front rotors around. Although getting wheels over the captive bolts is a slight pain. I dunno about these wheels after seeing them on the car. I might want something with some more spokes like the rays ce28 wheels. Although those are around 500 each.

Thanks for the continued input and anyone with any suggestions should go ahead and mention them. smile.gif

Thanks for the updated pic man. Those wheels have a nice finish. I dunno, I was thinking about getting the front fenders rolled and running like a 16 or 17x8 or 8.5 with a 225 or 235 tire. Tell me that wouldn't be sick!! LOL. I so want to do it. I will have to see what some local body shops would quote me for that. cool.gif
