Nice ride and rims. You know, that's a paint color that just shouldn't work, but wow, every time I see one it's

Beedub · 01-08-2012, 01:59 PM

perfect wheel fitment, they look GREAT!!!

looks sick!!

Caddyshk · 01-08-2012, 04:08 PM

Looks Great! Glad I picked the same wheels and offsets; albeit 18's. I'm surprised you have no rubbing issues in the rears with the 275's and 5mm spacers. Report back once you've put some miles on please.

Thanks!

My old wheels were the same size and also ET20. The rear tires hit the liners under extreme load; a rare occurrence even during daily driving on shitty roads. No issues otherwise, and no visible damage to the tires or liner after 1 1/2 years.

mfanatic325 · 01-08-2012, 07:15 PM

hehe, I see you already got the tires mounted. Good pickup on the Wedsport lugs!

inTgr8r · 01-08-2012, 07:23 PM

Very nice, Love the Advans!!!!

...not too sure about the blue lugnuts though.
& Red Calipers???????? srly?

v3.0si · 01-08-2012, 07:36 PM

yeah... pass on the red calipers. maybe space gray or tiag instead?

and debadge that thing. the blue lugs aren't jivin' with them at all.

otherwise, i LOVE the advans. i looked at those as possibility early last year.

3002 tii · 01-08-2012, 07:53 PM

I think the blue lugz are ok, just clashes with the red tow hooks. But the wheels are sick!

Rick Hunter · 01-08-2012, 08:07 PM

Excellent setup.

However, I'm not feeling the tow hooks... not because they're red, but why you'd want to risk a greater chance of assisting someone in maliciously "liftin'" your ride in no time flat.

agreed, hopefully it was only the photoshoot. i only bust those out at the track, would never keep them on anywhere else.

Quickid · 01-08-2012, 08:42 PM

Looks good

Endless619 · 01-08-2012, 09:03 PM

Looks good, now lower that car. With nice wheels you need to slam the car for it to look right. Thats all you need.

RADRACR · 01-08-2012, 10:17 PM

As always, everyone has their own taste

I like to add a little detail without overdoing it. Full black wheels look a little plain to me.

Yeah, only for photo shoot and track days. I think you're right that the red clashes with the blue. I've had the red hooks for awhile, before the blue lugs. I'm considering blue hooks now to match.

It's my DD and I'm already scraping the fangs frequently on parking lot ramps and whatnot with this little of a drop. Simply can't lower it any more for practicality. It looks a little better IRL because the camera is so low to the ground in the pics.

seank · 01-08-2012, 10:37 PM

Sexy, classy, mean.
Not sure about the lug nuts though. It says I am trying too hard, when it should have confidence.

Actually with a anodized blue Endless BBK it completes the look.

Been there and with a dark set of wheels such as these, it doesn't get much better.

Stop encouraging me

gferil · 01-08-2012, 10:49 PM

Very nice! Hope to see you around the bay sometime, I have yet to see a sepang bronze on the road here!

crfine88 · 01-09-2012, 12:01 AM

The Advans look great. The Dark gunmetal next to seapang really looks killer.

Great Photos too.

Endless619 · 01-09-2012, 01:01 AM

See I think it looks good. lol... My old s2000, same year I sold it.
