Stargarrador,

I'd love to, but my wife would kill me. I like the lip and since it's urethane it should hold up well.

Stat,

The wheels are matte bronze in 18x8.75 +35 running 225/40/18, no rubbing issues whatsoever.

Did you happen to weigh that wheel/tire combo and compare it to the stock wheel/tire?
I'll have to measure what the clearance is currently. It's only lowered 1 1/2 inches in the front and about 1 inch in the rear. Clearance does not seem to be too bad. We didn't have a scale so we were unable to weigh any of the components.

I don't live up here, only work. So i'm only around during business hours where she mostly sits in a parking lot.

Thought I'd post some new pictures, I took these this weekend.

Lookin' damn good! First set of inexpensive wheels that actually look good on the FR-S/BRZ! All the Rota's/XXR's I've seen so far just look weird IMO. I may be partially biased 'cause I run 527's on my car, too

I think those most recent pics just convinced me that I absolutely need coilovers, your car is one of the best looking BRZs I've seen yet. I might have missed it, but what size are the rims? 18s?

A lot of cars are getting riced out if you ask me, but they aren't my cars so I'll keep quiet. BR33Z3's car looks A-MAZING and is pretty much exactly how I'd mod my exterior appearance. 5axis spoiler, diffuser, front splitter, multi-spoke wheels, lowered, clear lenses, and I'd add an HKS Legamax exhaust, chrome fender trim and a sharkfin antenna. Make mine Galaxy Blue with high-polish aluminum finish wheels!
