Then I sold that set of 18's, to get a set of 18 S1's. I dont have pics of the new wheels on the car, but its pretty crazy to say the least.

Hey guys lets see some pics of all your wheel fitments
from race spec to drift spec and some hella flush too!!

start off with some pics of mine:


From the first post.

Personally, I am not a fan of the extremes of any kind of fitment (or really extremes of anything when it comes to FDs).

...BUT, I like seeing ALL the pictures with wheel/tire/alignment specifications so I can use online fitment calculators and measuring and find out what kind of offsets/tire sizes I need for what I want to do.

I agree with Gordon. Black wheels seem to be a waste (IMHO).

I will agree. IMO Jose A's car, Gene's, and speedjunkie's are one of the few stanced cars that look good. Maybe because they didn't over do it? But on that same breath, I will admit that I do not like my front wheel battleship look...

^^ actually you are mistaken as the OP wanted ALL fitment types

Fitment can mean different things to different people.

I hope Phil (Herblenny) doesn't mind that I post some photos he put up earlier in a different thread.

IMO, this is the absolute best mix of flushness, meatiness, and functionalism that can be achieved with a street FD. I think most will agree, this is a great look (in terms of the wheels/stance). I hope to get this same type of fitment on my FD by years end.

You might as well not really have much of a design, because people can't really see the designs very well. I don't get it. In Europe they seem to like a lot more color than over here. Bright orange, yellow, green, neon this and that. All the colors of the rainbow. But over here, black.

I agree with what youre saying Gordon. That was probably something I was afraid of when I changed the colors of my wheels, but maybe because my car isn't black and I didn't really do a deep black on the wheels, you can still see the details to them.

Something that you said about Europe, that what the color choices are over there... When someone here goes and picks a bright orange/green or yellow, whats the first very thing everyone says??? SUCH A RICER right? Unless you are a PRO certified driver or if its done in Europe its ok. People will always hate on others just because they aren't doing what they like. For example the chrome you have added to your car, im a fan of that work you put on and have to give you props for it, specially with the one you made for the front bumper opening , but to others that's just ricey.

Mind me asking whats "ricer" ?
I would love to see your car to see what we are doing wrong

Meaty, flush, and functional... Posers need not apply
FUNCTIONAL if you DO track your car or for whats needed. If I was still living in California, there is no way I would have my car this low, but since we have nice flat roads here, I can lower my car to where I have it and have no issues driving it. PLUS I don't take my car to the track because I don't want to. If I did, then I would change the stance of it to fit its purpose.
