Mine-ride height is a little off because it just came down from the lift.

Find any BBS vendor and look up their RG-R model.

What tire pressure do you use on 17" for FD?? I am running 235/45 17 for front and 255/40/17 for rear? I really don't have idea about the tire pressure for 17" Please give me some suggestion.

Thanks!

The recommended pressure should be on the tires, but I usually run 32psi front and 28psi rear.

No no no, the tire pressure to run is not on the tires. The max pressure is listed on the tire. The pressure is based on vehicle weight and is listed on the doorsill. I run 255/40/17s on all 4 of my jspec wheels. I think I run about 32 psi, maybe a bit less. I have a few pics on my site.

Thanks for the pics guys. Lookin good. I would like to see those 99 polished out on the car.

HDP, you polished out the entire rim or just the face and lip ? Is it a PITA ? I have a guy down here who polishes........just don't want to hear him whining about how hard they are to polish.

Just the face and lip is polished. It took me one (1) weekend (Friday after work till Sunday night w/ a few hours of sleep between sandings) to complete just 1.

How can I get the 99 spec rims from the pictures. They look amazing. I relly don't like the look of any other rims I have seen.
