I love this. Can you provide more details as to the set up? Did you do anything to the suspension? It looks damn near perfect as it is. It would be nice to save costs of lowering.

Can you give us an idea of the costs involved to get these wheels, tires, etc?

NICE JOB! Classy too.

1) I don't think that's his car; he usually just posts nice cars from japan online
2) Most Rays wheels are about $3000 a set (because they are high quality forged)
3) tires are Michelin PSS? look it up on Tire Rack

this is a good example of why you don't have to "slam" every 86, FR-S and BRZ..

a lot of folk that put wheels on their cars take bad wide angle photos from ground level that make them look like 4WDs

everyone then chips in with "yo: best be slamming that shit"

when you see one up close you realise these cars are low enough that the ride height goes largely unnoticed

sure, they look better with a little lowering but is it really as necessary as everyone makes out: no.

These will set you back about 1800/set if pricing falls in line with the 2x7s. These and Gram Lights are the less expensive Rays brands, and they're cast, not forged.

The gap betwen your text looks a little too much. Needs to be lowered.

Oh, I didn't know the Homura were priced the same as Gram Lights.

This is actually the first time I've heard of them, so I assumed they were forged like most of Ray's lineup. My bad.

I saw them last week and decided to do some research because they are some great looking wheels IMO. The Homura brand only has these and a split seven spoke so far. 2x8GT and 2x7, respectively.

I may be missing something here, and missing it in the other threads too. But how does one purchase Rays brand Wheels in the states? Do you guys have any reputable vendors that you guys use or a website? I would like to get these exact Rays Wheels for example. Thanks for any help!
