NICE! can't wait to see them in person. Those are the wheels i've been wanting just not in Gold (although I considered it)

What offset?

What are the wheel/tire specs? Lowered?

yup it's lowered on eibachs
the rims are 17x7.5 and the tires are P205/40R17.

only thing i wish is that i chose a little bit bigger tires

Dude..... Those look awesome!

sje0123 · 11-12-2011, 07:32 PM

205? Wow. Are they stretched? A 225 would have suited you better if you weren't going for the stretched look. Wheels look good though.

i wasn't going for the stretched look but this is what they said would fit without rubbing. i'm kind of thinking of going back and getting different tires
