Car looks alright but I think your car would look better if you increased the camber a little bit... Check Jose A's car. I will admit I'm not a stance guy but Jose's car is rather nice

20"s??? I will reserve judgement since I haven't see your car but dang I sense fail on this one. Actually for $20K that just might be the ultimate forum fail :duno:

Yet at the same time you are an Aussie so by judging on what they do over there, that might be the ultimate win for you guys.

Can you post a pic of your car?

^^ I tend to agree, but will wait to pass judgement. 19s on an FD is pushing it IMO, so if I were EVEN considering those wheels, I'd go with 19s. I can think of lots of better ways to spend an additional $20K on my FD.

Hmmm... maybe a different great set of wheels AND a nice chunk of change towards a 20B NA install??

I still got a lot on my shopping list.

I really don't like Carbon wheels on car or bike.....

If I have money to buy wheels on a car (4x DAMN ^^) I chose Magnesium like on my bike where I use Marchesini magnesium Wheels.

It's not "safe" like alluminium, but if you drive a car on the road Magnesium is a way better choice then Carbon.

And probably is you race your car in circuit like Nordschleife after 2-3 lap you trash 20K $

All IMHO^^

What do you guys recommend for a square setup? What offset will work for both the front and the rear? let's say 17x9? Is there an offest that would work for the FD?

I'm running a 17x9.5 +38 that requires a small roll up front and none in the rear. Tires are hankooks rs3 255/40/17. I've seen 17x9 +45 on the rx7 and that looks way too sunken in.
