Still haven't taken off the side badge, I see... But those wheels look great! I want a set of those!

Where did you buy them?

Now I hate the car as a whole - but still love the wheels. What's your malfunction soldier?

The rims look great. The badge doesn't add inches.

I'm on supersports and the EURO63rs's...235F & 255R (Hankook EVO 12's)

the rears WILL stick out after dropping...but I get no rubbing AT ALL with the 255's...265's prob will. no need to roll the fenders.

the fronts rub like crazy. even with rolled the fenders...still rub. this weekend when its warmer I'll pull the fenders a bit. I only need a few centimeters more to clear the front. 225's prob would have done it.

Also, the roads in NE are atrocious. The car is fine on the highway and on flat, level roads (like they have everywhere else in the world) but when going down a road that a snow plow hit a few weeks earlier, I'm grinding the front tires up pretty good. FYI...GOOD LUCK!
