installed Manaray Quest VR5 wheels on my FC while I have the Cosmo down.

Front 18 X 8.5 +35 235/40 18
Rear 18 X 9.5 +35 265/35 18

they with out spacers. I have Tein RA coilovers. going to drop it down a little more tomorrow.

dont look a the paint the clear coat is pealing. Im looking at doing a full paint in a few weeks if everything goes to plan. so I took off the infini wheels to get them polished up again.

I like them more on the Cosmo. Kinda makes the RX look hotwheelish. BUT they look ALOT better than most 18s. Definitely like the wheels, just not sure on the RX.

Per the other thread. Is that more GU-Shade Green? What are the chances of you sourcing some of that paint for me?

yeah that is shade green GU. kind of a dark green / black color. last I checked I cant ship paint from the post office. I will check with paint shop if I can get the mix they use to make it. Maybe the paint shop in the states and whip some up for you.

Yeah I agree the wheels look too big. I think 17 is the right size. the 16's where too small and gave to much side wall on the tire it felt the car was floating and wanted to dart around. it handles a hole lot better on the 18's.

I didn't think about shipping paint. They do tend to shy away from toxic chemicals and such. If you can get ahold of the mix info that would be fantastic
