Finally got some flare added into the rear quarters a bit. No more rubbing just rolling down the road.
Picture of it at full compression and on a hill. Apparently I got it just right so as to not mess up the lips:
Next is going to have to be new coils with significantly stiffer rates (at 8k/5k now on JIC's). Also ordering up some camber arms for the rear to get a little more adjustability out of the rear and fine tune it better. With new coils, at the rates I'm wanting, and the new arms, I'll be able to roll completely on the ground nearly and will finally be a happy camper lol

Wow..I like...BUT..
You could never in a million years get away with those wheels where I live, the cops would pull your car..(have not been able to do this for the past 30 years, legally).
I wonder how long it takes for your wheel bearings to pack up?

Revival of Thread! Just Purchased a set of 18x8 Sparco Assetto Gara(s) in Black I'm wrapping them in 225/45R-18 Dunlop SP Sport Signatures. I'll post pics when I receive them.
p.s. Does anyone know about the Tire Pressure Monitoring System? Tire Rack was saying that the series II 8's have TMPS, but when I did my lowering springs I didn't see anything like that.

The Michigan "WANKEL"
Yes, the Series II does indeed have TPMS. I'm not using it in mine, because I wanted to use the black anodized valve stems that came with my bronze wheels.

I know I know, DAT WHEEL GAP. I'm fixing that later. And apparently there was some dust on my lens, camera died after 3 pictures. But here are the 18x8 bronze Sparco Assetto Garas. I am pleased with the results. And those are new tires, i have yet to shine them car just came out of the garage for these wheels, its still a bit too salty for me.

KWheelr-looking good. Are those center caps the ones that came with the rims? I went with the black version of what you have, I'm still waiting unfortunately. I guess that's what I get for being in Germany.
