Default New Shoes (After Waiting 2 Months)

I've been wanting these rims for a while. I bought them in July and had them boated over from Japan. I just picked them up from the post office this morning. I love the look of OEM wheels, and they aren't as expensive as... well most aftermarket JDM wheels. These have a nice gold tinge to the silver. And for those who demanded more pics from my last pic thread, I got you MOAR!

<FONT SIZE="1">DISCLAIMER: I suck at taking pics with my ancient camera</FONT>

First, with a +55 offset, clearance is REALLY tight.




Location #1 (Airport)








Location #2 (Bayfront)






Location #3 ("City Lights", really nice look out at night)

Haha yeah. Shipping took a little longer than usual. Normally I get things in 5 weeks being boated over. These took almost 8 weeks. They were stuck in customs for a while because the value was declared. Customs had me submit proof of purchase before they released them.


I do miss my RE01s on the JDM ITRs. These almost new Proxes are too soft. Fortunately I didn't have to buy the tires. I just dismounted them from the SH rims that came with the R.

With these



I measured many times, drilled a hole, and used a metal nibbler.

I was thinking about getting a 3mm spacer.

Maybe. LOL. Perhaps a thumbnail thickness distance.
