bigbutt Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Picked up the wheels today after waiting for almost 4 weeks and I was starting to get tired of driving with snows since Nov. BBS REs 18x8 + 50 offset- with Yokohama ES100s 225-40-18 I can't decide whether to lower or not- looks pretty good and besides I don't want to give up the ride comfort.

Xenonk Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 nice, reminded me of my car with Racecomp's set of BBS REs on my car (except we used 245/35/18 race tires). Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikazeridah Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Looks good! Quick question, how dark are those tints? It's either the lighting playing tricks on me or those seem really dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbutt Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 The tint is 35% which is the limit here in Ontario. With the Black interior they look darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikazeridah Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Ah ok... and just noticed that in the first pic I could see through the passenger side windows too so I guess that would of answered my question as well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUD Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Nice! Would it possible to request a close up shot? Maybe one from the nose of the car looking down the side as well? It is the disposition of men to desire that which he cannot have, hence my un-quenchable wet desire for Shakira! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimbeaver Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 that looks awesome! wonder what about CH's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Very nice, very classy. I have been debating going with a mesh-style or a Prodrive-style 18" rim for my white GT for some time now... your hot ride has just swayed me back towards mesh. I think the current fender gap looks great, not too high. If you aren't crazy about lowering it, then don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy05 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Nice! It looks like you painted your calipers red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbutt Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 Thanks- the shop that sold me the wheels and tires painted the calipers. MUD- I'll get the shots you requested this weekend- it rained all day and the cars a mess. grimbeaver- I looked at the CHs but they won't fit. The offset is too low . I looked at the RGRs as well but they're only 7.5" wide the REs are 8" .They both were the same price- so I went for the wider wheel. Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach V Dan Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I love that look! Now, who was it that said the Rotas don't look like the BBS's...? http://store1.yimg.com/I/fastwrx_1837_12644656 Wish my rims weighed 19 pounds each, though. --Dan Mach V FastWRX.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
