New Wheels!

Just came in yesterday... Had a hard time deciding on color but happy now that I see them!

For those of you who don't know, my car is gunmetal grey.

That's going to look absolutely sick

Do I spy some 10.5s ?

Edit: Be careful where you store those suckers, Shane Willis, Rico Baires, Chris Mills, or any other assortment of losers might be rappeling up to your balcony to grab 'em

lol, by your username, I was ready for a set of Blitzs. Those RE30s are sick, though.
Nice choice! Now wrap 'em in a set of tires and lets see 'em on the FD!

Thanks guys, They are Volk RE30's

Fronts are 18x9 +35 (lip is about 1 inch)

Rears are 18x10.5 +18 (lip is about 2 inches)

They are 'flat black' though they are more of a semi-gloss... The center caps are the Volk CF ones... black valve stems and black Rays Lugs.

Tires are Toyo Proxes R888's 255/35 in front and 295/30 in rear.

I'm taking the car today to hack it up (rear fenders) to install the FEED Rear fenders.

Can't take any pics until its done cause I don't think the rears will fit as is.

I am still debating on installing the FEED front fenders... I am taking opinions...

I am going a bit different route... the car was sleek and mild and now I'm enjoying the idea of some big black wheels and some wide fenders.

Also my new clutch came in.... can't wait to put this in!

Very Nice.

So do you HAVE to get rear/front fender flare for 18x10? Is there an offset that would make them flush with the stock fenders..

Sorry, i am noob to fitting aftermarket rims.

search in the suspension forum. you can use an 18x10 on the rear if you have a +43 or higher offset on stock fenders

What do your neighbors think of you taking pictures of boxes sitting on your porch?

Nice stuff. Are you using the R888s on the street (they're supposed to be a replacement for the RA-1s, which are barely a streetable tire)

They already think I'm nuts... but thanks for asking.

Yes I use them on the street but don't put too many miles on it. Especially not in the rain! (We have a local wheel/tire sponsor who 'liked the way these looked' and I wasn't about to complain with him paying for them.

Good lord those are nice and wide. I'm waiting for pics installed on the car already.
Knowing that their forged Rays, I'm sure the weight is still pretty low, probably around 18 lbs or so. Not really sure, but dayam they are nice. I don't even want to think about how much $$$$ those cost.

Good job on selecting great rims.
