But back to the wheels; they look great. What tires did you decide to go with?

I traded the ADRs for these units. the wheels are 17x8f, 17x8r. Im running the bridgestone potenza RE-11 235/45/17 front, and 275/40/17 rear. these were used about 500miles before the guys car blew up, so the tires are like new.

The Borbet Type T (and TD) wheels are one of the few that really compliment the FD, especially without killing the wallet. They were my first choice in wheels. I just didn't get them because there was a group buy for them a few years ago here on the forum and a lot of members got them. So, I went a different route.
I'll attach a photo of a semi-local guys car who got them as well.
