I think I have someone picking up the stock wheels w/ your tires tomorrow.. not sure yet. But they were darn good tires and served me well. Only thing I regretted was never rotating the tires.. so the rears were noticeably lower on thread.

And I rarely drive the car in adverse conditions, when it snows and theres salt on the road, I don't drive it. But that's another reason why I finally opted for these wheels, they will hurt alot less if/when they do get damaged/nicked/stolen/etc because they were relatively inexpensive.

They are Rota GForce 18x9 +30, obviously VERY similar to Advan RS. Thats why I got em, they look good and were cheap. I daily drive this car in NYC. Even if I had the ability to spend $2,000 on rims, I would not buy them.

I love them.

Needless to say I've been rubbing mad. Especially because I had my stock wheels in the back while I went to drop them off to the guy buying them. I unloaded them and it's a bit better.. but I definitely am getting rolled. Getting it rolled and aligned tomorrow by a performance shop.

If only that was true... A couple people on the forums know what I'm talking about, and no, it hasn't "already been done". There are a lot of things that people haven't done, or attempted to do, due to their lack of resources or knowledge. There's a couple groups trying to do what I'm working on, but to date, no one has yet to present a usable / working part.

Everyone will know in time, but I'm not going to talk up products that I can't deliver on, so I choose to be vague.

Its an offset dependent issue...

You can see it better in those most recent pics, the fenders lips are screwed up from rubbing/slamming on the tires.

A drop will definitely make that look even better. They fill out the shape of the wheel arch great, just needs to be lower.
