Kumho Ecsta XS 245/40/17 all around on Fortune coilovers. A liitle on the heavy side at 22lbs each but I dont notice any difference in seat of the pants performance. Happy with these for now.

Looks nice. Very clean. Any rubbing at all?

None what so ever! Thanks.

Scott.

When you get a chance, I'd love to see some more photos of these. As in a few different angles if you have them.

How's the ride with fortunes?

Nice setup!
Are you also using ESM's Aluminum Hub Centric Rings?

Yes, 1mm rings. Dont forget to put antiseize on the hub unless you never want to get em off!

Scott.

How do these work? I have the same set coming (in 18" staggered form).

Thanks for the advice!

The twins have a hub bore of 56.1. Depending on which rim you order, you'll need to get rings that are from a bigger diameter into 56.1

In the case of ESM-004, it's listed on their site: http://esmwheels.com/access/esm-004-sl-18-p-98.html

What camber are you running in front and back? I'm surprised that with 245 width tires the upper part isn't closer to the fender.

These wheels keep dragging me back, love the look.. and to think you can get a staggered set 18x8.5 fr and 18x9.5 rr for under $700...

ESM 004 Pictures
 

Got my ESM wheels installed so I thought I'd post a few pictures. The specs are 17x9 +38 on Dunlop dz101s 215/45r17 and I'm lowered on fortune auto coilovers. -1 Front/ -2 Rear

Looks awesome mate. I like the set up! Lowered on what?

How much did they set you back?

225 a wheel and another 100 a tire, not too bad

Wow that thing is slammed. I have the same set (in 18") sitting in my garage. I'm waiting for my Eibach R2 coilovers to get in first.

Any change you could post some pics from further back?

^ Ill take some when i get a chance and the coilovers are pretty much maxed out front and rear. Being able to fist my wheel gap is no longer allowed! Did you get 18x9 all the way around or did you run 18x8 in the fronts

I got the 18x8 up front (1.5" lip) and the 18x9 for the rear (3" lip). Check my build thread for pics. I'm hoping to get them on in a few weeks.

Nice and flush, but no center caps?

When I got them balanced they had to take them off and I forgot to put them back on

This is the exact set up im looking at & have been since I got the car. I gotta raven too. Plz! More pix! Take whole shots of the side & rear plz!

Those are really nice

I had the same wheels but sold them and picked up a forged set. They do look really nice on dark colors (had 18s)

That's different but unique.

Do you have any pictures from the front or back that show the amount of poke?

I don't see them on the website, are they discontinued ? I really want them
