Looks fabulous Scott! man it's both functional and sexy.

I know those tires. They are the best water-tred tires I've ever come across, and if you ask me, they are just as impressive as the awesome look of your rims!

Cheers!

wow. looks really good. i considered these rims a while ago but i didnt care to much for the staggered look with these wheels... i thought about just using the backs all around but never really took it further then thinking. they look awesome... im ordering mine tomorrow haha

Damn, I as well wondered what this would look like.

It looks kinda race-inspired, I like it quite a bit!

Any rubbing issues at all in the front?

well i bounced around. orginally along time ago i wanted those wheels... then i went to sportmax 962s but they are even HEAVIER.... i only liked them because they were similar to mazdaspeed and had a huge lip. then i wanted some work wheels but they were to expensive for me lol... now i saw this and im back to 006's.

Damn... I'm running 18x8.5's in the front and 18x9.5's in the rear (+35 offset on both) and i've had no issues whatsoever in the front (and didn't expect to), but a bit of rubbing in the rear (shaved rear-lip, so it wasn't an issue, but there is some plastic back there that quickly wore-away to the point where it was no longer rubbing either lol)

If I had of been confident that the 18x9.5's (+35) would have fit all the way around I most definitely would have gone for it... But i'm happy with the staggered look as well, so i'm not disappointed...

Yeah, my plastic piece is shredded pretty good back there too..

Just got it raised 1CM all around and got sways put in, so it should not rub anymore :D

Lots of really good things going on with your car... overall, very nice. Rims and hood are highlights. Excellent original look.

Fuel door? Powdercoat black would look great.

Strakes? Ehhh... you have the chrome accents in the center caps. I like those... do the strakes tie it together? Not sure, on the fence...

Can't say I like the titanium exhaust tips... the blue is pulling me away from appreciating the rest of the car.

Yeah, I'll either do a black powdercoat fuel door or grab a CF one, same with strakes.

Exhaust, I'm not moving on that. I love the sound, and that's good enough for me :D
