It's the 18" diameter that I think is a bit much. The setup is nice, but they are very large. Does it rub out back?

Before this wheel i was on Mugen Gps, which was a perfect height so i can get in and out my driveway, any lower and my front lip will rub every time i drive my car, and it rubs on hard dips driving normal it doesn't rub

It looked perfect on the GPs in my opinion too.

I loved it on the GPs but I was ready to move on to a more aggressive look, in person it looks so perfect. I get a lot of love on the square setup

I get that with an aggressive front and rear wing like that you can't have sunk wheels. I'm just going by the pics, the wheels looked huge. I'm sure they look different in person.

I had a hard time with my decision to do this yesterday, but I have said since I bought these that I would not mount them until I had a R lol. I assume that this may have been the last or one of the last bnib sets in the country lulz

Thanks man, I appreciate it!.


my rega center caps were hazy so I stripped the clear and gave them a light polish, I think i liked the machined less polished look they had before but its too late now, I didnt realize they were gonna polish up like that with just a quick hand polish. The clear insulator strip at the base of the caps had become yellow and brittle, so I cut out new strips and attached them this morning at work. Im heading straight to my shop after work to do the timing belt on the R, if I have time and my back is up to it, I may mount the rims up!!! Im excited lol
