New wheels (FD3S)

Got some new wheels for the fd. Just refinished them, polished lips and painted the faces gold
They are gewalt spoke 18x8.5 and 9.5
Apparently really rare in the US, import only from Japan
I think they look incredible

the rims look good bro.... but that wheel gap. I think it would look clean as hell if it where only alittle lower. but over all very nice.

I agree with this comment also. Wheel looks great on the car! Save up for some coil overs or lowering springs & a good set of shocks. That is just my opinion tho & you know what they say about opinions........... Build the car the way that makes YOU happy.

fender rolling

As long as everyone is giving advice, here's mine, before you drive it with a lower stance, get your front fenders rolled, otherwise they will probably get bent by your tires.
