Not the most HQ photos in the world. The weather in MN hasn't been the greatest and I should still be on my winter setup but damn it i was so anxious to put it all together and now that I have the Brembos on there is no going back to stock wheels until I order spacers. In the pics the Gold on Silver looks kinda of tacky but IRL Though! Damn I love it...
The Setup: XXR 527 18x8.75 +35 with 235/40/18 rubber.
Hubcentric rings (73.1 OD 56.1 ID)
Black Works Racing Neo chrome 12x1.25 lugs
Custom "STi" Center caps using EBAY sti decals and the XXR supplied caps
I bought the CHEAPEST tires I could find because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the wheels. And figured I'd have more fun sliding around if I wasn't worried about my super spendy tires... They are "Goodride" SV308.... and TO BE HONEST lol they're not bad. I would have never bought them if i was going to be doing any serious driving (autox, road course, etc.)
At first I thought it was to high and wanted more low but daily driving I really appreciate the extra clearance.
The Brembo setup was REALLY easy and I got EVERYTHING for under $1300....
All 4 calipers (used), NEW centric rotors, the rear adapter from KNS (NEW), NEW stop tech pads, and fresh fluid.
All and all I'm really happy with how everything turned out.
Did it on a "budget" and i'm surprisingly happy with how it all looks, feels, and the effects it had on my wallet weren't bad. Obviously haters are gonna hate on "knock off wheels" "cheap tires" "looks like a monster truck" "should never put brakes on a car that weren't designed for it" (jdm BRZ has same brakes soo...) but it's what ever.
