just rear? Dude just dremel the 2-3 mm you need off and base coat / prime over the cut. The fender arch is removable.

To my surprise an extra 1/4 avoids rubbing lol. Only slightly lower than stock height now...absolute highest these coils can go

So bummed they don'tmake these anymore

I've been eyeing these as well but they look too much like stock wheels for me. They are low pressure cast wheels. Two sets left on eBay for $500:

Thanks, I messaged them and they confirmed no longer in production. They said they were taking the post down

Woohoo new shoes! Wedssport TC105X 18x9.5 ET45 wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 265/35 (10.7" treadwith so they really measure out to 270s)

Haven't gotten a chance to try them out since the drive home from the shop was traffic the whole way. What I can say the ride is 100% better with the bigger sidewall. Driving in +R mode now the bump softness is softer than the OE tires were on comfort. Luckily I got the last set of these in the US until their next shipment.

Now I need to save up for the Eibach lowering springs kit w/ antiroll bars. Think it would be best to go with a .6" drop since I have already scraped on a couple friends driveways on stock height.

Titan T-R10 in Bronze 18x9.5 45 mm offset. Tire are my winter setup, Goodyear Eagle F1 255/18/35.
Stock Height.

Thinking of getting the bronze wheels myself.

These pics seem to be filtered. All the other pictures Ive seen the bronze appears to be darker. Do you have any unfiltered pics?

Just incase anyone was curious about replica wheels, I bought a set of the IPA FK8 replicas in flat black. They have a 55mm offset compared to OEM 60mm. The wheels are wrapped in 245/35 20 Conti DWS 06. I wanted to maintain the OEM look without spending too much money. I needed to swap out the stock Contis because the FR was completely worn. With the weather getting colder, I was fortunate I still had the set of DWS' in storage and it all worked out. I also got an alignment and will post the sheet tomorrow. Let me know if you have questions.

I assumed they were going out of production, which is fine since the initial investment wasn't much for me anyways. Dailying the car for quite a bit and done a few road trips, the wheels have held up fine so far. It was one of my personal goals to kind of dress down the exterior a little.

I'm confused. Why would you buy OEM replicas when you already have the stock wheels?

I only have about 100 miles on them and yet to really push them very hard, but so far they are a little louder than oem. Once I really push them I will let you know!

are these racing titanium black? I had a hard time deciding between the hyper black and these... looks much lighter in the real world than in pics.
