Talking Takata Green & Whitewater Pearl: Round 2

18x10.5 +18 Takata Green Volk CE28 (factory color)
265/35/18 Hankook RS-3
Unknown camber, will update once I've got a proper measure.
No rubbing.

Well, this is it. Dream set of wheels attained. My wheel whoring days are over, thank god! Enjoy, hate, do what you'd like with them - just thought I'd share with the community. Check out the flickr in my signature for pictures of all 11 sets of my current/previous wheels!

*I could have done a lot better in composing a few of these shots and it bugs me, but I was in a rush*














*These were shot on a whim while leaving the supermarket *

grats on finally settling down on a set. Your fenders look pretty beat up from all the pulling and flaring, you plan on getting them fixed?

Indeed, filling out and smoothing is all part of the plan I was hoping to have that and the fujita kit done by sevenstock but my financial plans took a turn for the worse so cars are going in the back pocket, for the time being.

Slowguy - Good eye, the rs3's do run very wide! These are nearly squared out which says a lot for 265 on a 10.5

Haha it's okay to like something a little different, you guys realize that, right? :P

The fenders aren't going to be any wider, it's simply filling in any creases/waviness then repainting to give it that *perfect* look and feel (along with filling in the corner section). Honestly, though, it doesn't bother me too much, there are only a few spots that are on the rougher side and I'm able to live with that - for now.

Hey, I paid for (so technically owned) these At the begining of March! That's three months; just because I've only driven on them for two days now means nothing :P
