Thank you! I'm just running RCE Yellow springs on stock dampers.

The Enkei Kojin's look just like 18's, even in silver! It's pretty crazy how deceiving they are.

Ive got a set of these wheels waiting for better weather. What size tires are you running?

I got the titans in 17x9 all around and am planning on 245/45 front and 255/45 rear with hotchkis springs.

to me personally black/darker wheels always look smaller seems like it blends in with the tire, it depends on the lip as well.

TSW's look ugly..low quality american brand and maybe same or worse than Rota. At least Rotas look nice.

They're 245/40 all the way around. You might consider running a 40 aspect ratio instead as your 245/45 is going to have larger overall height than stock and will affect your speedometer accuracy and final drive ratio (acceleration). I would also recommend running a square setup so you can rotate your tires for wear. Post up some pics!

Yeah I was basing my tire sizes off memory, 40 aspect ratio is what ive got in my tirerack cart, waiting on tax return. I will definitely be posting some pictures as soon as I get them mounted. Got the titans in white and the car is SWP.

Glad to see the 245s fit up front pretty well.

South Africa actually, and now they have facilities in Poland, Germany, and the US.
