Those are the wheels I was looking at before I went with the Volks. What's the size, 18x8 front/18x9 rear? They look staggered. Starting to wish I would have went that route and saved some money. Love the lip! Although I would love to see the 18x9's all the way around with the same look.

yup they are staggered I got 18x8's front and 18x9's in the rear, I tried to get them in 19's but I would have had to wait to long for them, something like 6 months. I put them on last night and so far am pleased with them.

Those look good. Is it chrome or just polished silver?

I've never heard of that brand either; how's the quality?

They should be hyperblack, only come in two colors (black being the other).

Regardless of the FF layout, wouldn't it look better with fatter tires on the back and not the other way around?

I know my car is fwd. I like the look better with the bigger lip in the back. It took me 3 months to find rims I liked on my car, it handles great with the new tires on it, I can finally feel the effects of the suspension mods I did, I bought the car more as my daily driver so the difference with the bigger rims in the back effecting the handling doesn't really bother me, I'd rather it look better. I got a different car to screw around in, that I need the handling in.

I like everything you did, i think the entire thing looks very clean.

The only thing i would have done is painted the brake calipers black. Im gonna attempt to paint mine black also when i get time.

My coupes azure blue but i still think the black will look real nice with black tinted windows.

I remember when you got your Artisan you promised sound clips and never delivered. It'd be nice to hear it, or at least get more pics because I want to order but I don't think the tips stick out far enough.

Probably from parking somewhere where the cops check how long you are there for... (they mark the tires different colors to keep tabs).

Phenom!! I can actually understand you now and wow you really said something really worth noting! (seriously!) Anyway, my two cents here... I agree with Phenom and in fact I have large wheels all around and eibachs in the front but oem springs in the back. My car's stance is simply sick nasty plus I get the added weight in the front to keep my tires on the road for better performance.

By the way-- love the 5 spoke look, but ya got way too much chrome for my tastes-- but if ya love it, thats all that matters!

I took the pics before I washed the markings off the tires. The yellow is just paint or something they put on them to mark them I think... If you see my sig. that pic is taken after I washed the yellow off.

In all honesty, I don't normally care for a lot of the mods that people post on this board. Yours, though, is classy and sleek.

I love it. Great job. Looks awesome!

As good of a price as those wheels are, I'd still think about going with an 18x9 in front to complete the all around deep dish look. But if you like the RWD staggered look that's cool. I wouldn't be surprised if the Tork wheels start jumping out all over the A/C forums simply for the lips and price. Although a absolutely hate wheelsnext and their reps/management.....

+40 offset correct on that rear right? Looks like you balanced that 255 tire just right with the offset. This is good stuff for tracking fitments on the coupes. We already know a 245 on an 8.5"+35 wheel barely clears with the eibach.
