I hope so because I could not find any review on them. I should get the wheels sometime this week. I'll post some picks and my car is now lowered on tein basics coilover because they were $700 and the JIC were around $1600 I think. I will buy them in a couple weeks because I just wanted to see how the tein basics felt. Anyways, C41250n, you are running on a staggered setup with no rubbing with those size tires, so what coilovers are you using and what is your ride height because my front looks way low from the front view and the stock wheels on now looked tucked.

I agree though it does catch my eye depending on what type of car it is and what it looks like but for me I'd rather not look slammed to the ground in the front. This is what I'm worried about for when I put the 255's all the way around but mainly worried about the front because of the way the coilover sits. I guess I would have to roll the front fenders a bit regardless. Oh well, we'll see by the end of the week.

Car now with out 255's with 18x9.5+30 P-45R's. Tein basic coilover but looks way lower in the front but not too much.

yes, it seemed like a pain but...it wasn't...did both rear fenders for $80 in under an hour. with my springs and the 275's, i will need a slight pull. i still scrape during very aggressive turning
