Yeah he is on the stock michelins, he did a great job picking them out. I'm really happy with how it turned out i love it when i can help get parts and it turns out this good.

Yes finally! Been waiting on someone to get this! Been having a hard time deciding between matte black or gold or even chromium black (not likely due to someone having issue on color) for Asphalt. I'm mostly leaning towards matte black though

Do they not make a +35 in 17x8.25? or did you feel like that would be too much tuck in the rear?

Im thinking about 17x8.25 for my whiteout. Did you happen to weight the wheel before you put it on by any chance?

Rear tuck is why I went +25. I forgot to weight them... (FAAAIL!!! Smh) but read somewhere here they are like 18-20lbs. Thanks for smilie

I was thinking 25s in the rear and 35s up front. Why not go that route?

Because of tire rotation.

IMPORTANT: i had bought a set of knockoff Rays lugnuts and they did not fit. Thankfully was able to exchange them for a set of muteki sr48 so beware.

Just slapped'em on yesterday. Still have to align and add a bit more negative camber (aligning it today) because I'm rubbing in the rear and a little in the front. Loving the new look though, aggressive. I went to a car show last night with these for the first time, got a photographer to stop me within 2 minutes of parking my car and offered a free photo shoot this weekend

CRAPPY PICS FROM A CRAPPY PHONE (getting the new Samsung Galaxy S4 SOOOOON)









Better pics to come after this photo shoot weekend

@VADER looking good! Love the custom license plate. I had a smoked tag cover like yours on my last black car until some asshole parking enforcement guy gave me a ticket for that while the car was parked. Are you going to use OEM camber bolts for the front? If so, how much did you/will you pay for them? I was told $13 when I called the stealership and thought it was for the pair but its each which I think it's too much for a simple bolt...
