Thanks for finally posting pics of these wheels! I'm thinking of going with the exact same setup. Do you notice any handling difference with the staggered setup though, has there been much of a hit to your acceleration?

These are the rims I am looking at getting, thanks for the pictures! We certainly need some better pictures that show off the rim itself. It is very hard to see in these shots.

Still very appreciated tho!

Also good university

I would love to see these rims out in the wild but these pics are so poor and worse still the rims are black.

the iPhone can take amazing photography, especially in sunlight, just need to know what to do or which app to do post in (hint, Camera+ is a good start)

I'll use my standalone point and shoot camera and take some better pics. Just wanted to get some quick shots out to you guys.

Handling-wise, definitely more grip which I don't mind. It might be a bit slower but nothing too noticeable, car still feels nimble as before.

They look great, especially on a silver car. How's the ride compared to stock?

Don't feel that much difference, might be a bit bumpier because of the larger rim. Bit more tire noise though.

Here are some slightly better iPhone shots. I'll get better ones when I get it washed.

I'm also looking at the matte black Kojins for my Firestorm FRS. What do you think? Seems like the black rims are a bit too much for Firestorm?
