$199 per wheel for the 17x9 35et! I'm already completely sold on them. I had a set of XXR 531s on my Fit for a year and loved them.

Ambit RE02 - basically an RS05RR knockoff but just as good looking!

Also RS05RR only come in 18's & up vs Ambit comes in 17's.

Local guy used to have it (sold it iirc). I looks nice for sure. Not a fan of knock off, but everyone have their own style. Not gonna knock it. As long as you don't knock my hot pink hello kitty wheels. Lmfao joke of hello kitty wheels

Wow pink wheels lol gtfo here lol what were you thinking lol.

Kidding, of course. I don't (and don't plan on starting) track my car so I have no problem with commonly used reps like Rota, XXR, etc. I'd rather put that money toward some gripper rubber, like PSS.

Joke on the side, I've fck'ed up 9 lug nuts. Screw installing ARP studs myself. I gonna let the shop do that for me. Time to find different lug nuts. Til then, I'll be using OEM lug nuts on one side lol

Also front brake pads & rotors are installed. Forgot bout ss line... but whatever. I'll do that later.

As for ST Suspension sway bar. I cannot comment atm. All I can say is, having a love hate relationship. Hopefully everything will solve out soon.

LOL. I'm still on the OEM lug nuts. They're conical and they hold the 89 ft-lbs just fine. I'm sure I'll change my tune when I snap a stud, but until then...

Went with aluminum wheel nuts. I had to change my lug tightening technique as a result. Bought a torque wrench and everything. The other cars still get PFT.

Honestly, if I had the option for an unlimited money build I would've bought those TWS wheels. They were amazing, but $4k for a set was just too much.

[themadscientist]

I lusted after these in gold.
