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*

slowguy 06-06-2010 12:36 AM

Wig92 06-06-2010 12:44 AM

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?

tiltmode43 06-06-2010 02:08 AM

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.

RX8Lovah 06-06-2010 02:20 AM

I think they look good :)

AWJay 06-06-2010 09:26 AM

Very nice! always liked your style...I'm currently looking for orange TE37's but I'm going to powder coat my RPF1's first

lepichichi 06-06-2010 10:33 AM

niceeeeeee.........

2tone 06-06-2010 10:54 AM

i'm with dozer...i don't know why but i like it!! lulz

yeah any idea how much wider your fenders are/will be? looks good man

supergoat 06-06-2010 10:58 AM

Eh, not my taste.

tiltmode43 06-06-2010 11:48 AM

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.

tilt, I do not care what you say about this being your last set of wheels on the 8 because there is no way I will believe you! You are the epitome of wheel whores on 8club :D:

Wind Dance 06-06-2010 01:04 PM

^ +2. He had what 5 sets of wheels within a year?

Brian Major 06-06-2010 01:33 PM

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
