New wheels on the FD today...

.. I like the wheel weight (17 lbs for an 18" x 9.5" according to my bathroom scales) although, I'm a little disappointed with the offsets +40 front and +42 rear. I had some Enkei RPO-1s on the car with almost perfect 18" offsets as per Jimlab's fitment table (18 x 8.5 +35 FR & 18 x 9.5 +38 REAR) - I'll just have to get used to these...

They are Volk Racing LE28Ns Gunmetal (18 x 8.5 +40 FR & 18 x 9.5 +42 REAR) apparently they have been discontinued by RAYS / VR and these are among the last in the country... if you believe that.

They look great, and those offsets are actually BETTER.
