Your last post is perfect..I was just cruising through your thread checking out your pics thinking to myself "wow, beautiful car!! Just needs some killer wheels to be complete..." And the very last post solves that issue. What size tires are you running?

Thank you. I'm getting Continental SportContact5 in 245/35/18 square. I've tested Dunlop SP Sport and Goodyear Eagle F1 on my previous cars but the Conti are just way better when it comes to grip in the wet

I ran continentals on a few of my cars. I like them but I still like Michelin pilot sports the best for grip. I'm running Toyos on my BRZ with 255 tears and 235 fronts and its a pretty good combo. I didn't want something too sticky on this car as I like to be able to slide it around corners still. It's just too much fun not to. What offset are you running?

So Wingo got his new shoes today

however, he definitifly needs to be lowered now, as the tires are about 0.5cm out of the fenders on stock suspension.

Just some snapshots in the garage, as we have -billion degrees and snow outside I cant move him around atm to do a proper shooting

I'm going for the Eibach Pro Street kit, so it will be something around 1"

Love the Deceptacons logos on the car. I have an autobots badge on the front of my MR2. I get so many compliments on it.

Nice..I'm running the Sportlines and I love them. In my opinion 1" isn't enough to close the gap on this car so I went 1.4" and it looks and handles awesome!

hehe, nice to see another transformers fan. Funny thing is, after I moved to my new home, I noticed that my parking space neighbor has an autobot logo on the steering wheel. So I guess they are fighting down in the garage while we are asleep:-)

I'd love to drop it 1.4", however the Aero Kit makes the car already quiet low, and I would not get into my garage when lowering more than 1". Well, I guess you cant have everything ;-)

Thank you good sir. I've been waiting a long time for someone to put chromium black XXR 527's on a white gt86...and it certainly did not disappoint at all :)

More HD pictures after the drop please!
