EDIT: Couple full car shots on page 3.

It was time for some new wheels for me. I usually don't like to have the same wheels for more than 2 years. I ended up getting an individual sponsorship from Mackin.... so any Volks, Gram Lights, Advans etc. that I wanted at a pretty discounted price. However, pretty much anything I wanted was a 3 month wait. It just so happened that my good friend bought these KF's and decided he didn't like them after owning them for a couple weeks. He got a smoking deal and passed on an even better deal to me..... so I just had to buy them. I am just posting up some teaser pics with my crappy camera and photography skills. I also didn't have any pictures of my refinished front and rear brakes yet..... so we'll kill two birds with one stone. I will be having Kyle do a full shoot in a couple weeks after the body work and with my new interior. I also need to lower the rear a little more now. So until then, no full vehicle shots. I must say they look sick though standing back and taking in the whole car....... the white of the car really brings out the Burning Black. I think the white calipers really help also. Wheel specs:

Work VS-KF's Burning Black

Front: 18x8 +22 225/40Rear: 18x10 +20 265/35

I like to run meats, so I had to do a 25mm pull on the quarters. Turned out pretty darn good..... no paint cracking or anything major. But as always, I have to have it perfect to match the existing paint and bodywork. So it's going to my friend's body shop in a week to make it absolutely perfect.

whoa they look pretty nice...i can't believe you pulled your fenders...i thought the only reason you got wheels in high offset was b/c you didn't want to mess with pulling the fenders? at least they came out good.

Nice man, I was waiting for someone to say something about that!

Actually, I am mostly a hater of the stretched tire. Then secondly, a**-tons of camber. Thirdly, I wouldn't do a wide body just because I would be ruining a perfectly mint bodied S13. The pull I didn't mind so much. I just wanted to make sure I could do it properly. If not, I wouldn't do it. I did a lot of research and my friend attempted it on his first.... so I went for it.

This is beautiful!. And your previous setup was soooo helpful to my in deciding want sizes I want for my next set of wheels. But... I wanna know how the ride feels with such narrow-er wheels up front. Does it understeer?

I'm really hoping you replace the fronts with something wider. Like 9 inches with 245 rubber maybe...

I can't wait to see the full-body shots. Those lug nuts are beautimus maximus!

How do you like those wheels compared to your last set?
