Whoahh, looks fantastic! Seeing your car makes me want the OEM lip kit even more...and maybe buy a third pair of eyelids in the hopes that they don't fly off on the highway. haha. I love your style.

3m VHB tape FTW! with the amount of tape i used, those things wouldnt come off even if i wanted to take em off, i'd have to heat em up and yank like no other.

wow clean i love it, the wheels look great!

 

[hiddengamer7]

with that stance, honestly, you should go a little lower to make it really look good

 

[Wildman]

love everything other than the wheels & fitment. car looks pretty good. also don't understand how you got that low on teins lol

i cant, i am literally as low as i can possibly go with my teins.

wow, you're the first to not like these wheels. its all good though because they're my dream wheels

i removed one of the perches on the front coilovers, that gave me an extra .25-.3 inches of drop in front. other than that, nothing special. the rears still have both seats, they're just all the way down though. so if i really wanted to i could take the rear down another .25-.3 inch but then i'd have the boat look and that would be fail.

damn looks legit. does the front poke out? or is it flush?
looking to get 18x9 as well.

at +31 and -2 camber and 225/40/18 general tires. it does poke out a tiny bit but its fine by my standards. i wont be making u-turns and going up driveways at the same time anytime in the future but as long as im smart about how i drive, i'll be fine. some people say there are other brands of tires that stretch a lot more at this size than my General tires do so im assuming if i had one of those brand tires... like nankang i think; i'd have more stretch and the tire would poke out a tiny bit less. i only pulled the front since it was easy, pulling the rear is much harder because the metal there is much stronger and harder to flex. if you want 18x9s to be flush with very little camber, i say get something around +38 to +40. if you're willing to run up to -2 camber then +35 would be nice. you can use this site as a measuring tool... comes in handy... http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

haha, sorry, all that matters is that you like them though. I dunno, they just seem kind of flashy to me, but it might be because they stick out more than I'm used to

 

[KnightRyder]

well AME wheels tend to be pretty flashy. this is their sportiest design imo. all their other stuff belong on luxury cars/vip cars. AME no longer sells this wheel under the AME name, they're now branded as Enkei wheels in japan.
