My new wheels-pics
Here's before-
 Here's now-   The 16x7s fit the narrow body no problem. I'm running 205/50/16 Yoke ES100s. I did have the camber adjusted but I also had it lowered to "euro". No rubbing that I can tell. Handling is night and day. I can't say how thrilled I was when I first saw the car; then to drive it and have it so improved was great. I want to add that I got these wheels from Jason Cullen-another Pelican. He walked me through the various wheel/tire combos that would work and then set me up with this beautiful set. He was above and beyond cool. If you need wheels, do yourself a favor and look him up. |

Amazing looking, what is the finish? RS style?

Wheels look great. They wake the car up.
BTW, is you front bumper sagging?

 . I did want to replicate the RS look if not size. Jason told me that was called a "frosted" finish. Shuie's car, another that inspired me, also has that finish. Mine were done by Al Reed.On the bumper-I've always wondered that. I think it must be down a bit. More aerodynamical that way .

They are anodized and painted. At some point in the process the "frost" is added to give them that powdery silver look. This was all done by Al Reed via Jason at a very reasonable cost. |

your car rocks. It reminds me of the old rendition of my car. About 245 hp in the back and that thing would be a smoking little sleeper.

Absolutely beautiful car color and wheel combination. Tell me about your ride height. What have you done there? It all looks great together.
