Im looking for diffrent rims now, either Rota's, Volks or BBS. I do love those Falken but I want something diffrent now. Wanna go 18" with a 9.5 front and 10 back.

@ Rota's

Rota's should almost never be mentioned in the same sentence as Volks or BBS. lol. The price range difference alone is hilarious. You could almost buy 2 fulll sets of rota's for the price of ONE aggro-fitted multipiece Volk or BBS wheel.

Imo, if you have the money to burn on volks or bbs, don't bother looking at rota's or xxr's....

btw, don't go staggered...there's no reason. Go 10" wide all around w/a modest offset n' proper tires. GO WIDE OR GTFO

What design type of wheels are you looking into getting? These RE30 Volks in this color look pretty sweet on red.

Why are you running 225/40-18's man? I like the rims, not the specs though.

Because I didn't know anything about tires when I bought them, and nothing on the website specified what size tire I should use, it just says "These 10 tires will fit choose 1". Yeah they fit but they're stretched all to hell -_-

First of all...don't be knockin' my wheels bro. lol

Secondly - i really like the silver finish - i often think about possibly getting a different finish.

Lastly - what are your tire specs?? they look awfully stretched.

I'm currently running similar fitment - 18x10 +25 w/265/35's.

I was joking, I love them, tires are T1R's 255/40/18, I was actually wondering what a 265 would look like with the +27mm, Atilla how much F/R camber do you run with the +25? got a pic? Funny, I often wonder what Piano black would look like on my car.

Yea I made a mistake when buying the tires..225/45ZR18. I didn't really know what I was getting, just knew they would fit. So if you know anyone who has lowering springs, let me know

Kye12, your car looks pretty good, looks similar to a local here mazdax3, he's got a silver S2 with the same wheels. He dropped his and it looks much nicer. Get some spacers and some springs on it and it would look great

WOW...sorry i'm really late to respond to this (haven't been on the forum as much ).


Here's what they currently look like.

Name:  lowz1.jpg
Views: 549
Size:  375.7 KB


Specs:

18x10 +35F +25R

Tires:

265/35 all four


My camber was way off when this pic was taken. It was -2.7 iirc. I'm also still not satisfied with where it sits at but for daily driving it's not bad. I'm planning on dropping it another .25" and dropping my front offset to +25 to match the rear before the next show.

Nice Atilla, I would love to run 265's on mine, but I don't think I could do it without a lot of camber since I'm +27 in the front. I do have a set of 8mm spacers which would put me at +34 so I may go that route after looking at your pics but I don't like staggering. I love the fatter tire look, I just don't want to camber it out too much since I'm still a daily driver. Or I may just go back to a +42 and run a 275 semi on it,
Still need to install my Koni's which will drop mine a little as well.

Here's what mine looks like now, the tires are so tall, but I have a lot of crappy roads and speed bumps to contend with.
