These are Bad Ass! They fit the car perfect. I love the color against the titanium. Its dark but not too dark like black would be. She definitely needs a drop....my Eibach pro kit should be here this week somtime.

Looks awesome. I have a titanium sedan and was looking at the same exact rims. I am probably not going to buy rims though.

Those wheels look perfect for your Koup SX. From the picture it looks like to me you do not have much room to lower it. How much do you plan to lower and still have the ability for the full range of steering without rubbing the tires?

Sounds like he's getting the Eibachs which lower it 1.2 inches in the front and 1.0 in the back. I have 18x8's on mine with the Eibachs and I have no issues with rubbing. It completely eliminates the wheel well gap and looks great.

18x7.5, 45 ET will fit perfectly with Eibachs. No worry.

He PM'd me to ask about front upper tower strut bars...

And no, I can't guess what yours are... but it's kinda funny that you'd throw down the challenge.... ;-)
