Thanks! Car is looking nice
Thank you! I'm running 245/40 Direzza ZII tires which run pretty wide and have no clearance issues. The only time I get any rubbing is with the wheels at full lock turning into a parking spot. Even then, the tire barely rubs on the sway. Enjoy your new setup!

Nice @fstlane. I have WRB too and I might have to copy you. I'm still torn between bronze or gold though.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm pretty much sold. Now just gotta wait for winter to go away in Chicago

you can get real weds cheap enough used (i got mine all 4 with tires for $600) that it doesn't make much sense to buy the knock-offs. not that there's anything wrong with them, they're perfectly serviceable. i just doesn't make much sense.

A $600 set of Weds TC105N wheels is not a common find. Someone either had no clue what they were selling or they were mangled. I went with the Titans because they were the size, offset and color I desired. They were brand new and at a price point that I won't feel sick to my stomach if one gets damaged.

Thank you!

Here is the rear running @ -1.7°camber lowered 20mm.

And the front @ -2.8° camber (with 10mm spacers).

I don't think I have any pictures on the stock suspension and alignment.

Loving these, can't decide on color for my GBS? Thinking flat black or sport bronze?

Weds without tires usually go for at least double that - you got a pretty good deal there.

He knew exactly what e had and they were mint. He just didn't need the money that much and wanted them out if his garage. Opportunities arise....

Here's a few pics.
Quick question but were you able to run any camber on stock suspension without spacers? I am getting a set of these and hope to run around -1.5 degrees for autox

Yes, I was running -1.9° front camber on the stock suspension without spacers but I'm using camber plates. If you plan on using just camber bolts you should be pretty close to -1.5°. However, there isn't much spring perch clearance (see pic). It never rubbed with the ZII's but they have pretty stiff sidewalls. A slip on 3mm spacer would probably be the easiest way to get a little more clearance and you should still be able to use the factory studs.
