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?

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.

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.

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

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

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.
