let me know how that goes, I'm really curious. If I do a half inch wider in front it will be 18x10.5 -2. But honestly, I think that's REALLY pushing it.

I got a great price for my authentic Vertex and had to play the waiting game to ship overseas. I personally rather wait instead of settling for a Seibon replica. But everyone has their own taste when it comes to authentic vs fake and how long you are willing to wait. Same thing goes with wheels.

An old picture of my GT-S wheels when I first got it.


not to pick on 9k but these wheels look way better on this silver. and his old wheels looks better on this gray.

You mean the wheels with more lip on a car with full aero look better? That's an ingenious idea you propose.

Thanks. I've got a a new front bumper + sides, ganadors, RE-A roof spoiler and custom engine back single exit exhaust to properly install over the winter. Also painting the rims. I want it tastefully done / not ricer.
I also purchased a 13b-rew to start tinkering around with until my build grenades.
I love this car/It's a keeper.

I gotta have a gangsta lean. Although, in the D, I can't really jive because I'm too busy autocrossing pot holes, donk-a-donks and crack heads.

not saying it looks bad at all but I think the color schemes pop a little more than on the red.
just my .02. wanted to see if any one thought the same.

Sucks. Just by some Works, you'll have no issues with sizing in that case!
