I wasn't sure how the offset was gonna look, but I think its just about perfect.

Fitment looks great. Any rubbing? What are the specs on them? They'd looks great with a black face.

They rub a bit if the I hit a bump hard enough, and only on the right front. Nothing I'm going to worry about.

Specs: 15x6.5 (+19 offset) with 205/15/50 Falken 912's. I'm thinking about doing a graphite colored face. The chrome is a little chipped in some places.

Looks gorgeous man, I really like your pictures, very clear. Those wheels fit the car pretty well too.

Mo_Jo_Jo 02-07-09 09:12 PM

Really nice...

...if only you could go a little lower, with less gap...

Wow, how I want a first gen

Starfox07 02-07-09 09:24 PM

Yeah I think I could get away with a 3/4'' drop in the rear.

Kerebrus 02-07-09 10:37 PM

Nice weds! Very clean.

Starfox07 02-07-09 11:11 PM

They are actually Impuls. ;)

Kerebrus 02-07-09 11:22 PM

Interesting, look exactly like weds imo.

Starfox07 02-07-09 11:31 PM

Well, they were $300 shipped so I'm not complaining one bit! :D

Super82 02-07-09 11:41 PM

gorgeous. One of the best looking FBs I've seen in a while. I sure with I got an SE. Then I'd do a carb'd 13B (more power than my 12a) and have the better bolt pattern. That sure looks fantastic man, props!

Starfox07 02-07-09 11:55 PM

Thanks for all the kind words!!

And yes, I want to do a carbed 4 port 13b with a bridgey. Provided I can find one. :(

acekid7 02-08-09 01:24 AM

Those are fresh bro. Nice job with the pic's. Did you use a DSLR ?

boyee 02-08-09 03:37 AM

I also agree with a few comments already made like lowering the rear a bit and your car lookin damn good!
Also it might just be me but I think the front sticks out a little more than the rear.. perhaps a spacer? Very nice setup nonetheless.
Oh and I thought Weds at first too until I read they were Impuls haha

Rotor_king 02-08-09 08:53 AM

Bravo. That is the sexiest SE ive ever seen. Those photographs look very professional, and those rims are AWESOME on there. (damn you and you 114.3) haha

Starfox07 02-08-09 11:07 AM

Again thanks for the kind words.

Camera is a Nikon D80 with an 18-135mm lens and a tripod. It was really windy so they aren't quite as sharp as I would have liked.

Three of the tires are Falkens, but the driver side front tire is different because the new Falken blew out on the tire rack due to a defect, so I'm going to have to get them to send me another one. The tire they put on there is a bit flatter so I think its a bit wider as well. Probably why it looks like it sticks out more.

estevan62274 02-08-09 02:27 PM

Looks great!

Jeezus 02-08-09 05:11 PM

Nice rims. I was afraid it would be some chrome gaudyness, but those look nice! Any word on getting centercaps?

Starfox07 02-08-09 05:43 PM

I don't even know where to look for the centercaps to be honest. :(

Rotor_king 02-09-09 09:26 PM

Man i love your car. If I see you zipping around DFW ill give you a thumbs up!

twinkletoes 02-09-09 10:11 PM

Looks great, I thought the wheels were weds too.

Mickster 02-10-09 01:17 AM

Sharp wheel / Falken combination! Really like the angle perspective in your photos. Top-notch!

Thanks for sharing.

Starfox07 02-14-09 11:20 PM

Nobody buy falkens. They are shit. Had 3 blow out.

Kerebrus 02-14-09 11:58 PM

What? I love my Falken Azenis more than anything. I also have 2 friends running Falkens, no issues.
