LOL look at you guys go nuts asking about wheels with decent fitment. Someone will come along and tell you "blah blah blah you won't get good performance from a stretched tire like that blah blah blah."

Congrats on the new whip.

it's funny because I wouldn't even call his tires exactly stretched. there is a difference when you have more than one set of wheels. I can understand, that if someone only has cash for one set.. they will make it the most logical "performance wise." I have a track set, autoX set and am looking for a nice street set right now. On the street it's all about stance... I don't drive to the limits on the street anyways, so why would I need track like tires if I'm not on a track.

to get it shipped isnt that expensive and
but if you're not into paper work its not for you
and if you're impatient this isn't for you

^ what he said.

It takes a LONG time to get the car cleared up and legal to drive.

It's a lot of paperwork and, depending on what province you live in, a lot of political BS.

What is the offset + width of those wheels? Nice stance, it is.
