My new rims, P45R, pics inside

Picked them up last Friday! Currently there's a set of 225 yoko's on there but I will be putting 245s on as soon as I get my Tein Stechs in as well, as you can see the wheel gap is currently sickening. The rim is a Rota P45R in 18x9.5 +30, tommy gold.

Cool, if you have not ordered tires yet I would order 265/35-18's.

I'll be running 245s for now, already have a set in the garage, when they are done I'll be bumping up to either 255 or 265.

Cool. I have 245/40-18's on a 9.5 and it is a bit too much stretch for me.

P45-R's, good choice. I'd recommend Koni Yellows to go with those springs, it gives it an extra bit of drop and it's the perfect height. Also 265/35/18's like 9k said.

Looks sick though.

Nice man, not usually a fan of striped rims but it works great with your setup.

Nice color OP, looks sharp on the velocity red. Now you just need some 265's on there. The 225's are way too stretched for my liking.

looks good even better when lowered. I had a set of 17x9.5 p45r in gunmetal when i first got the car, liked the look but had to go to a larger set up for turbo piping clearance so they got sold.
