Jesus, Everyone's Getting New Wheels!
 
And that includes me! After somewhere around 5 months, they finally came in, and I've been nothing short of excited.

Advan TCII's, in an 18 x 8.5 with a +25 Offset for those who are curious. Wrapped in some nice new 245/40/18 Falken Zeix 912's.(Wish I could've gotten some 615/615K's though..) And yes, I did have to get the rears rolled. Also, I'm lowered on Powertrix coilovers, I'll measure the ride height at some point. I'm just ultra lazy.

Anywho, here's the pics!

I <3 them.

I also got my plush dead piston in the mail the other day, too. He'll have to come out to photobomb some pictures at some point, too.

Photobomb?

Loving the new wheels bro, very nice

RearDriveNinja 05-13-2012 11:25 AM

Veryy nice! Why such low offset though?

MS Addict 05-13-2012 12:40 PM

Thanks guys!

Honestly, because I like having the looks of the low offset tires. With the rears rolled, I don't have any rubbing for spirited driving, but for track days I'll be running 17's with not as low of an offset, so that's no problem there. Besides, track tires for 17's are so much cheaper than 18's, haha.

I like the flush look, without a ton of camber and the car being entirely slammed. It still is a daily driver, after all, and one that I like being able to throw into a corner and have a blast in.

The title needs to be changed to "everyone's getting new wheels i wish i could afford'

Jake33 05-13-2012 02:19 PM

nice man :)

MS Addict 05-13-2012 05:36 PM

Thanks again!

I will admit, these wheels were a bit of a stretch for me with everything going on, but I heard they're getting discontinued, so I didn't want to put it off too awful long and end up not being able to get them like I like them, or at all.

It was definitely like a late Christmas when they finally came in though.

Awesome wheels Dude

Digging the red lugs ;)

Not into white wheels, but to each, their own.

9krpmrx8 05-14-2012 05:54 PM

Looks good man, I like it. Needs something though, I can't put my finger on it.

RAVSPEC 05-14-2012 09:29 PM

Nice !!!!!

Ricky SE3P 05-14-2012 09:45 PM

I agree with 9k... some additional white accents to balance it out would help. And maybe a aftermarket or oem appearance package around the bottom all around would do wonders

MS Addict 05-16-2012 08:42 PM

Thanks! And yeah, I'm planning on getting some clear side markers at some point as well. Wanna finally get some exhaust for it at some point soon too.

I've really been thinking about the MS kit, even since before I actually got this 8. I love it's looks, but I also love the clean look the way it is, so I don't know.
