raised it a bit in the rear about 1/2 in. i like it.

 

just cell phone pics for now, and still working on fitment some more. will be done later today though

 

Sick. I love those wheels, definitely original.

 

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?

 

full side profile shot?

 

Those are sweet wheels, would love to have a set like those on my R3

 

Will update when better photos are made available. Been rainy weather all day today and traveling tomorrow for a shoot and a show on sunday

 

Love the wheels. Not my choice of stance tho. I bet they look sick in a functional setup.

 

i'm so excited to get to see your r3 this sunday bobby...man I'm so jelly of your wheels.


*edit* woooh rocking the same lug nuts....copy cat lmao

 

Damn hector. Where you at?! Haven't seen you or Rigo either one!

 

i got stuck doing a project...I've already said on fb lmao

 

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.

 

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.

 

Any photos of the new wheels satomi? I was considering buying some myself, curious how they fit.

 

 

I haven't gotten them in yet. Tire rack said they could take anywhere up till 5/5/13 to arrive to me. I will post pics when I get them though! I can't wait.

 

jeebus. Maybe I'll just buy them now haha.

 

It took 2 days for me to get mine...

I'll have photos probably saturday when I have time to get them on the car.

 

: I can't wait to see your pics.

 

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.

 

Haha yea those are the center caps that came with mine, I think the caps are black for the black ones.
