Wheel Directory: TSW Panorama 18x8.0 +35
![]() These are 18x8 + 35. Lowered on TEIN flex coilovers. Sorry for the bad pics. Will try to get better ones soon. Looks way better in person. Last edited by DarrenDriven; 05-12-2014 at 02:39 PM. |

Pretty flush. Would be ideal if the rear was out another 5-8 mm or so, but I am happy that the fronts and rears are the same. Weight is 19lb for the wheels. Almost no difference in performance.

This doesn't look bad at all. Nice. Throw in a Big Brake Kit and this car will look like a badass!

Yes. It is screaming for big brakes. The wheels do look smaller then other 18's. Just an optical illusion tough.
Will probably drop the car a bit more. Not sure exactly how much of a drop there is now, but about 1.25 inches. The ride is great. |

TSW Panorama & Michelin Pilot Super Spot
Got them installed this morning. The Matte Bronze came out awesome, imo.
It's not overly bronze/gold, so it's not annoying (to me) and it has almost a gunmetal tinge to it. 18x8 + 35 with 225-40-18 tires. So far all I can say is: DAT FLUSH & DAT GRIP Got my RCE Yellows and SPC LCAs to put on soon, so "the low" is coming. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Looks good, i saw these in black and didn't care for them but the bronze on the blue is a nice combo.

GBS & Matte Bronze is kinda like a more toned down version of the WRB & Gold BBS color scheme, imo. |

They should tuck in a smidge once the springs and lower control arms are on, but I think they will still be pretty close to flush. |

Get some OEM camber bolts for the front too, they won't be technically neccessary but will help you dial in a better alignment.
