18x9.5 +45 all around. Would have loved a 10-10.5 rear but they are even harder to find.

Perfect size and offset for a street FD

Are you sticking with the grey color?

Yeah. With the price and rarity of these wheels, changing the color can alter the value.

I dig the rotor shape of the Desmond wheel design and it's my understanding the weight and strength is outstanding but some black or gunmetal volks would look really good. You can also never go wrong with the Fikse line up and Rich has some sick prices on those at this time

Regardless I'm sure the Desmond wheel is really special I'm just not in the loop and this is going to be one hella nice FD

The Desmonds are fully forged wheels. The TE37 is the only Volk I would want to use on this car and I already have the same set on my Supra so I didn't want two cars with the same wheels.

Yeah Rich offered me the Fikse but I've never cared for any of their designs.

Thank you sir!

Very nice choice of exhaust, I am jealous! I would love to hear a sound clip once it is installed

High quality build here using some very nice JDM parts, something I can definitely relate to! Good job of going to the effort of swapping the carpet etc, i think the black interior looks way more cohesive than the tan which has a such a hard contrast.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to following your progress

I admire your build being that you bought it sight unseen. That would be too tough a pill for me to swallow.

Yeah it was a gamble but i saw the potential for great things and decided to take the risk. The fact i still have not driven it is killing me! But it's close!

I loved the fact you bought so many expensive parts before receiving your car also....means I am not alone in the crazy boat lol!

Yeah...I didn't want to wait around especially since we have to deal with winter down times. Wanted to get as much done and enjoy the car before it has to be put away.

I know that all too well, I am looking down the barrel of only 8 weeks before the snow flies here.....I am praying I get 4 weeks driving time this year, but even then most of September will be rain

On a positive note it means I get 6-8 months to polish the crap out of the car ready for next year
