looks good. But from those pictures it looks like you have an inch on rubber on your tires? Got any close up pictures? What size tires did you go with?

is the car lowered?

BigDog,
the wheels look great. Are you on stock suspension ? Do you have sport package or have you lowered the car in any way? Thanks,

Hey all,
The suspension is the stock sports suspension... I don't use any wheel spacers, but I may buy a set for the rear... I don't have ANY rubbing issues, in fact I could go for almost 3/4-1" drop before encountering rubbing issues (I won't drop though)

Jon Levi was the man I dealt with in regards to hammering out the deal and getting everything shipped to my door... definitly rec. in my book and I will gladly deal with him again when it comes time for more mods

Also, these wheels are night and day difference from the stock 17"... I can accelerate better, corner better, even gas mileage seems to have improved

you definitely are NOT accelerating better! or getting better mileage..both will go down with the overall larger diameter of the tire + weight.

Looks nice though!

I am looking into the same set. What is the offset. I have seen them speced as M3 and non-M3 offset for the raer. Which one did you go with???

Tire+wheel weight is actually considerably less than a 17in wheel + runflat, might just be me, but it does feel zippier

Just a thought.... If I went with the "non-M3" offset that would put the offset at 45mm versus the 25mm of the "M3 offset" wouldn't that have the same effect as using spacers?
Any wheel experts feel free to help out please.
I really want these wheels!!

from my talks with Jon, M3 offset fits perfectly, non M3 gives problems... spacers would only be used for a bit more aggressive stance otherwise you're fine... I pm'd u his info, give him a call
