Yeah and the lighting could be better. The Volk SE37Ks don't seem to be showing much detail at all at this time. I'll try again with a non-phone camera and some better lighting tomorrow.

These look great! Even stock ride height they loook much better than I anticipated, but if it pains you looking at wheel gap; a mild drop spring should be done soon.

Thanks, they look slightly better now with them being perfectly flush, cheating using some H&R spacers (20mm/30mm). They will look even better when dropped 1" in the coming weeks. I'll update this post with some photos when it's all done.

Congrats! You wont be seeing another Toyobaru rolling on those.

The 18x7.5 +48 is prolly the best configuration you can get in terms of plus sizing yet retaining the original driving feel, with weight savings as bonus! If you're still thinking of getting spacers I'd say don't.

Moar pics please, but not in the twilight. :P

I'll get some moar pics up soon, probably after my drop, but the photos I have with the SE37Ks on the car so far haven't really done it justice. Something about the Volk bronze just looks much better in person than in photos. I may just need to have some special lighting just to bring out the wheels a bit more in photos.

By the way, I did get spacers and although I don't notice any real difference performance-wise, I will say the wheels do look better flush to the fender.
